Bloodline (2015)


'Sometimes, you know something's coming'

IMDb Plot Summary: A family of adult siblings find that their past secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep of a brother returns home.

Its pretty weird how it took me two years since it aired to watch a TV series with such a compelling plot line. Anyways, I'm glad that I did. So here's the gist of what this show is all about. The Rayburns are a wealthy family who own a huge beach-side resort and are very respected by the community. One day, one of the oldest sun of the old man Rayburn who is living a wasteful life in Miami comes home and along with him surfaces some childhood secrets that give way to a disastrous chain of events.

While the plot in itself is interesting, the only problem with this show is that the script isn't engrossing enough and after the first few episodes, the plot that develops seems very un-compelling and too much stretched out. Had this TV show been able to engross its viewers better, it would have been awesome.

I have only watched the first season, but I've heard the next 2 are a little worse off than the first one. So I don't have much hopes going forward with this series. Anyhow, it isn't a bad watch at all and if nothing else, you should watch this show for the interesting plot. The acting department shines pretty damn well.

An IMDb 7/10. Its decent enough, but I won't be putting it under the recommended label. Has a good chance of being a miss.

Atypical (2017) 'Human behaviour is less like a chicken and more like an albatross. No matter how far an albatross flies, it always returns home. Unless it flies too close to the water and gets eaten by a tiger shark' IMDb Plot Summary: Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, decides it's time to find a girlfriend, a journey that sets Sam's mom on her own life-changing path as her son seeks more independence. I am a big fan of Apatow's Freaks and Geeks and when I came to know that a new teenage comedy had come out, I had to, at the very least, check it out. I hated Netflix's last attempt at a teenage show (13 Reasons Why) and hence I was very sceptical about this one. But in the end, Atypical turned out to a be pleasant surprise! This show is about an 18 year old kid in the autism spectrum and how he deals with his daily life, friends and family and most importantly, his quest to find himself a girlfriend. Alongside, we see the lives of his

Narcos (2015) 'To kill a monster, sometimes, you have to get in bed with other monsters. If that surprises you, pick up a history book. Its what we do; the enemy of my enemy is my friend' IMDb Plot Summary:  A chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, as well as the many other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years. The first two seasons of this genius TV show was about the drug lord Pablo Escobar. Now everyone knows about Pablo and so the fact that he dies at the end of it all should come as no surprise to anyone. And since the first two seasons were solely focused on Escobar and his empire and everything that surrounded his reign, with his death, we all decided without even giving it a second thought that this amazing TV show had come to an end. And today I browse the internet to find Narcos has hit us all with another season! This time focusing on the Cali cartel that grew while everyone was focused on Pab

Love at First Fight (2014) 'The army is hard up. It is the number one recruiter in France' 'Number two. The first is McDonald's' IMDb Plot Summary:  Between his friends and the family business, Arnaud's summer looks set to be a peaceful one. Peaceful until he runs into Madeleine, as beautiful as she is brusque, a concrete block of tensed muscles and doomsday prophecies. He expects nothing; she prepares for the worst. He takes things as they come, likes a good laugh. She fights, runs, swims, pushes herself to the limit. Given she hasn't asked him for anything, just how far will he go along with her? It's a love story. Or a story of survival. Or both. This story is about a girl who believes that an apocalypse is on its way and she has to prepare for it, and the way to do that is by joining the hardest military regiment to learn how to survive in the harshest conditions. This story is also about a guy, who has a chance encounter with
