If I could give this show 6 stars I would. Absolutely riveting from episode 1 through 8. Season 2 of Paatal Lok has to rank amongst one of the very best Indian tv has produced.

My god season 2 of this show could never make up its mind on what it really wanted to be. So many good ideas on the table and yet felt like the show never wanted to settle on one – should it have been a classical singer coming to terms that classical music is not accessible to all? Should it have been about a pop singer realizing what her talent was? Was it about a disgraced son who rightfully demanded his place? Or was it about math and ai in music (not making this up!). Like anyone of those would have provided a good season worth of material and it does none of them well. The pop music unlike season 1 doesn’t work too well, but the classical pieces on the other hand are absolutely superlative! Even the classical fusion are awesome – Garaj Garaj rock and Saavan mohe tarasaaye were standouts.

📺 The Day of the Jackal (2024) – ★★★★☆

Another series that ideally should have ended in 8 episodes or less but is stretched to 10. Nonetheless excellent acting and some of the set pieces are just fun. The last 15 mins of 9th episode was just nail biting. Looking forward to season 2.

📺 Citadel Honey Bunny (2024) – ★★★★☆

This was surprisingly a fun watch considering we couldn’t get past 1 episode of the original citadel. Maybe they should let the Indian directors take over the series completely. The action set pieces and background music was on point and elevates a rather basic plot.

📺 Outer Banks (2020) – ★★★★☆

Season 4 continues to be the same campy senseless leave your brains at home teenage treasure finding adventure drama. Kid loves it and we like it too coz it’s just so brainless timeless. The lead cast chemistry is fantastic though.
