Stay Close (2021)
A good binge watch whodunnit
Pretty solid. Keeps you guessing till the end. Nothing spectacular overall, but a very good binge watch that has enough twists and turns. Go for it if you liked SAFE, INOCENTE and other Harlan Coben mysteries. It's entertaining though a bit slow in the middle.
Equinox (2020)
This is not DARK..DON'T bother.
Don't waste your time. This is a piece of drivel.
Only part watchable is the child actress.

MONEY HEIST SEASON 4 REVIEW(Spoilers till Season 4!!)
La Casa de Papel aka Money Heist Season 4 Short Review(Spoliers till Season 3 ending!!)
If you have not watched this series at all look away now and binge on one of the most addictive series of recent years. Just grab a tub of popcorn and tell your folks you won't be answering any calls for the next 2 days!!
Thank me later!!
**********************
The most popular non-English show on Netflix is back. The 4th part of the show that redefined bank heists with its nerve wracking cat and mouse chases bewteen the mastermind Professor and the Police returns to Netflix amid the global lockdown.
Surprisingly the first few episodes center around the Professor's team lead by Tokyo and Palermo as the Professor comes to terms with the execution of Lisbon in the previous series' finale.
Ego clashes and leadership struggles among the gang mean opportunities for the authorities to gain some foothold into the Bank and these pave way to some surprises both good and bad. A shocking incident galvanizes the gang as the Professor return to the action in the later episodes. From then its the Money Heist action we have become accustomed to with the Professor explaining every small move ahead of execution and executing in impeccable style.The last 2 episodes are a rollercoaster ride leading to yet another Cliffhanger ending. As Netflix pumps more and more money (without having to rob the Central Bank of Spain!) the series is certainly here to stay in Fast and Furious style sans the sexy automobiles.
Dark (2017)
This is CULT! SEASON 1 2 REVIEW(Spoilers)
Am cursing myself am so late to the party having more or less binge watched both Season 1 and 2 over the last few days.
Wow! This is just another level of television.
It will attain cult status for sure.
At the end of first two episodes when it started like FIVE or Broadchurch I thought it's yet another murder mystery ready with the cliches. At around the 5th episode when the premise is clear Boy the game completely changes. It's no longer a whodunnit or howdunnit but the mother of all Houdinis. Mind bending as you buy into the premise and try to keep pace with the events that happen in various 'times'.
This is not some time travel trope just to make some quick bucks. This is cult. This will stand the test of 'time'(pun intended).
Excellent acting and mind blowing background score to add to the atmospheric mood..this is just brilliant creation.
And as the last episode showed the possibilities are limitless. It can go back a few centuries in the past or go forward a few centuries or create myriad worlds/galaxies.
Hats off to the creators!
Can't wait for Season 3!!
Spectre (2015)
BOND takes you forward》》 plot pulls you back.《《
BOND takes you forward》》 plot pulls you back.《《 Its Amazon time Its Uber time. Disruptive technology is the byword of the 21st century and the good old MI6 is not going to be spared either. It's restructuring/cost cutting- take your pick-the British government doesn't intend to fund Bond and his gals and cars anymore. Unaware of these Board level decisions Bond nearly seduces a gorgeous chick and sets off a breathtaking opening scene in Mexico before the trademark titles song takes over. The first 90 minutes checks all the boxes-exotic locales/Bond gal romances-seductions/promising villain and then it goes on auto pilot if you see what I mean. You can see Burj Khalifa from miles in Dubai and you can say the same about the plot of Spectre. The movie is about the relevance of human element in the light of technology and as such deserves a more solid concrete brick and mortar plot befitting the Bond. 24th movie in the franchise and it won't disappoint you especially the first 90 minutes but keep your expectations non Bond-esque. And try to catch the movie where the strategic parts played by the Bond gals are not culled(if you know what I mean)..after all its a Bond movie. PS : Skyfall was the most successful ever and Javier Bardem(inimitable No County For Old Men) was definitely one of the reasons. Here the villain is as strong as the robes Bond disarms you know when.
