Cobra Kai: Season 6, Part 1 - Review: Repetitive, but damn-good fun (By Shayen Unadkat )

Despite being over the top and a little corny at times, ‘Cobra Kai’ has always remained a feel-good, fun watch. Its amalgamation of 80s nostalgia with teen-drama tropes in such a fitting fashion for the show’s premise allows those seemingly negative aspects of the series to be justified purely because of how easy this show is to binge and its superb catering for all age demographics. The sixth season, surprisingly, has a whole new set of major pros and cons that will add to your experience of the front part—though, if you see this season as the beginning of something big and not as good in itself (which is what it ultimately is), you’ll have so much fun with the new instalment of this kick-ass series. Ralph Macchio, William Zabka and Yuji Okomoto in 'Cobra Kai' Season 6: Part 1 We’ve got to a stage now where, if you’ve been following since season 1, you genuinely care about these characters, OG or not. The creators of this show have done a good job of allowing us to continue to...

The Boys: Season 4 Review - A sublime stake-raising installment (By Shayen Unadkat)

  When ‘The Boys: Season 1’ came out back in 2019, the show was dubbed a hit by both critics and audiences alike, purely due to its realism when depicting a human world that coincides with superheroes. Five years later, we have Season Four, and despite reusing certain plot points and familiar tropes, the series is still, somehow, so fresh. Maybe it’s because this season has backed down on the audience-craved supe vs supe action and takes the time to develop its characters and dynamics in incredible ways. This solidifies its status as one of the best series out there. The opening episodes establish the journeys the characters are to experience this season, from the introduction of Sister Sage and Firecracker to important reveals in the lives of our favorite protagonists like Butcher and Hughie. As for the newcomers, it’s when you find out what purpose these new characters will serve and how they benefit the overall narrative that you see how different this season will be from previo...

Presumed Innocent Series Review - A realistic courtroom thriller with nuance (By Shayen Unadkat)

  It's great when a show tries to be as realistic as possible, especially for one in the crime-thriller genre like ‘Presumed Innocent’, which is already up there as one of the year's best TV shows and will probably stay that way. I've seen 7 out of 8 episodes, and though it might drag a little, the J.J. Abrams-produced limited series is a perfect blend of courtroom drama with thrilling murder mystery tropes that keep you guessing each episode, with a riveting performance from Jake Gyllenhaal.    The show's opening episode is perhaps among the slowest of the batch, setting up the premise of the show and nothing else in just its 40-minute runtime. It's here where you'll feel like this show will be a slow-burner and one that will be dragged out for no reason. Though, as the series progresses, only the latter is true. Unpredictable reveals along with thrilling dialogue in exceptionally well-crafted courtroom scenes keep you engaged with the narrative offered as Rust...
