If Witcher Then, Cursed
Struggling through the wait for the next season of "The Witcher", I was feeling quiet restless. For those who don't know The Witcher is a fantasy, Show on Netflix. I normally don't follow fantasy adventure to well. When I selected it I was really bored and burned out from watching "Breaking Bad" and "The 100". Licking my wounds and longing for more of these type of shows I selected "the Witcher and was hoping for the best. While I loved Lord Of The Rings mostly because I read all the books. I find most shows and movies of the fantasy adventure to have horrible acting, and lame story plots. "The Witcher" however was very well done. The stormy, odd, troubled Hero and his misfit magical companions mix well with the story plot and held my attention all the way to the end of season one, and made me anxious for the next season. Pinching the couch cushions in frustration I was reeling in my head! Like a child awaiting Christmas I tried to embrace any other show that could keep my interest on the same level.

Scroll No More!
As streaming services continuously fine-tune their recommendation algorithms, it seems unbelievable that we still waste so much time indecisively scrolling through titles. How are we not finding a show or movie among genres as specific as “Alien Sci-Fi Featuring a Strong Female Lead” and “20th Century Period Pieces based on bestsellers”? What’s the deal? Are we being overwhelmed with choices? Is the algorithm just not precise enough?

If you love Killing Eve, then try these...
Killing eve has been the sleeper hit of the decade. The tale of a funny, disturbed, bi-sexual and lonely hit-woman named Villanelle and her relationship and mutual obsession with the woman chasing her has rocked screens world-wide. There is a lot to like about this show. Great actors, great script, action packed and stylish. Because it's British it has two seasons of six episode each (so far), so even if you love it. You might want more, so if you love it try some of these recommendations.

Mumbai Saga(2021)- Review
"Aaj se Mumbai tera ja Raaj kar" Mumbai Saga is a Hindi action crime film by director Sanjay Gupta. As the name suggests the movie takes us through the saga that unfolded in the '80s and early '90s in Mumbai or what it was called then Bombay. The movie primarily focuses on Amartya Rao (John Abraham). Amartya lives a simple life and earns his living as a fruit and vegetable vendor. Vendors like him are often extorted by the local mob, choosing not to engage with the miscreants Amartya usually turns a blind eye and obliges with their demands. However, he is forced to take action against them when his younger brother is victimized by their harmful acts. After fending off a high-powered gangster and his goons, Amartya finds himself in power with the support of a local leader Bhau (Mahesh Manjrekar) who in his own words tells Amratya "Aaj se Mumbai tera ja Raaj kar" (From today Mumbai is yours, go rule). With Bhau's blessings he does go on to rule Mumbai for years, but a different type of storm is about to hit him with the advent of Inspector Vijay Sarvarkar (Emraan Hashmi), who will stop at no end to bring him to justice.

Finding "Your People" Again
It took years. Perhaps you met them when you were both considerably younger. You came into and out of new chapters in your lives together. They were constantly a reflecting glass in which to see, relate and discern things about your own life. Or perhaps, like so many modern relationships, you met online. Things got hot and heavy quickly. One week in and you knew their deepest, darkest secrets. Two months down, and the whole affair was over. Fast, hard loving. No matter how you met, how you fell in love, how long it lasted, one thing is certain; you had found your people.

Is Avatar: The Last Airbender Really the Best?
Anyone, regardless of age, can find something to love in Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. Personally, I also enjoyed the next installment, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, but it definitely doesn’t measure up to its predecessor. As a whole, I don’t think anything compares to The Last Airbender, or ever will. I am hoping that the recently-established Avatar Studios will eventually prove me wrong. In the meantime, here are some TV shows that manage to light a candle to the Nickelodeon classic in one way or another.

What Should I Do?
Our lives are filled with tough decisions relating to how we get the most out of our entertainment time. We all have limited time, but more and more access to entertainment entities. Think of it this way- every day more media exists. We can listen to a song written in the 1600s or written today! We also have access to a plethora of platforms to consume these media. So… What the heck should I do today?
