Wynonna Earp: Ridiculous, Fun And The Perfect Palate Cleanser

Not many people know about the cult classic series, Wynonna Earp. However, those interested in strong female characters, a barrage of supernatural with a splash of ridiculous, and some excellent action-based horror-studded drama, will find this the perfect show to sink their teeth into. We don’t have too many shows that bring ‘cowboy culture’ into the […]

The Runaway Jury | Review

John Grisham has a reputation of either nailing a story right until to subterranean levels or simply falter in the roots and make a hash of things throughout. The Runaway Jury initially seemed to fall amongst the latter category. However, the book got a revival midway and the end was a signature Grisham visceral denouement […]

The Real Life Inspirations For Game Of Thrones

The final season of Game Of Thrones is coming. And with it comes the end of an era. The end of what is, in my opinion, the greatest show on television. And so, in order to be less bereft, I did a little research. While doing this research I found that the universe that I […]

This is the memoir of a US army corporal (who later gets demoted to specialist) and his deployment in Afghanistan with his squad nicknamed The Hooligans’.

Sacred Games : No Spoiler Review

Rating :- 4.5/5 It’s been a while since a genuinely good non-soap opera show came out of India. There are a lot of words you could use to describe Sacred Games. The one that I’m going to go for is bold. Utterly different from anything we’ve seen come out of Indian cinema or TV, the […]

To Kill a Mockingbird

The spectrum of human behavior is vast and wide. While a part of the mob understands the extensiveness of it, most of us tend to turn a blind eye to what seems “abnormal” to us. Ironically, the subjectiveness of ‘normality’ in itself is an abstract. Dealing with such colourful personalities requires one to be equipped […]

Altered Carbon | Review

If death wasn’t a guaranteed phenomenon in our universe, how different do you think our world would have been? The ultimate utopia? No wars fought in the name of god since everyone would be god? Peace and harmony for all of eternity? I, personally, think that the world would be no more different than the […]
