Parks and Recreation (2009-2015).

Just watched one of the best mockumentaries out there about life of government workers. One of the most realistic shows out there after The Office. Outstanding performance by every single person of the cast, especially Amy Poehler. An amazing show with one of the most beautiful and heart-touching endings. It has now become one of the my all-time favorite shows.

The Originals (2013-18).

Just watched one of the if not the best supernatural-fantasy web series ever. An outstanding story about the family of the Original Vampires and their love and dedication for their family. A story about sibling's love for each other and a hunger of power that stands in between. A pact of being together Always and Forever and problems it faces. A true family drama with many outstanding supernatural twists. It's been a glorious ride to see one of the most amazing shows.

The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017).-

Just completed watching one of the most epic fictional story ever told on tv. A beautiful story full of love hatred, supernaturals, myth, blood, pain, sacrifice and above all heart touching friendship. Outstanding performance by the actors and amazing screenplay. It's been a hell of 12 days and one of the best things I've watched in a long time.

Ray (2021)

Four completely different but amazing short stories of Satyajit Ray adapted in a modern and different manner. Some of them were extremely good some didn't complete with the expectations. For me 2nd part starting Kay Kay Menon and 3rd part starting Manoj Bajpayee were the best though though the 1st part starring Ali Fazal was also really good, the 4th part starring Harshvardhan Kapoor didn't live up to my expectations. Overall really great but different and controversial adaptations of Ray's works but enjoyable.

Boyka : Undisputed IV (2016).

 Boyka : Undisputed IV (2016). Just revisited one of the most complete action movies of recent times. And in my opinion Scott Adkins in one of the very few complete action heroes of today. From insane fist fights to kick boxing to gun-fight it had every aspect of action in it. Amazing performance by Scott Adkins, Teodora Duhovnikova, Alan Aboutboul, Brahim Chab, Paul Chadidi etc. One of my favorites

Newton (2017)

Just rewatched one of my favorite films of recent time and one of the best performance by Rajkumar Rao. A thrilling story about a vote presiding officer doing his best to conduct a proper and fair vote in booth in Dandakaranya jungle which is infested with maoists and facing countless problems. Amazing satirical comedy-drama which highlights mentality problems that India suffers during vote. A very education and entertaining film. Amazing performance by Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Anjali Patil, Raghuvir Yadav etc. A treat to watch.

Sjunde Inseglet [The Seventh Seal] (1957).

Just rewatched one of the all-time greatest film ever made and one of my most favorite non-english film I've ever seen. A story about a knight playing chess with death himself while on a journey through the town in midst of Black Plague. Amazing performance by Max Von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Bibi Anderson, Maud Hansson, Inda Landgré, Gunnel Lindblom, Bertil Anderberg, Åke Fridell, etc. Fantastic play, screenplay, and direction by Ingmar Bergman. A true metaphorical classic.
