Koi Naam Na Do: Season 2 (Hindi Series)

By Golu
The first season of this show was just okay, because a gay guy falling for his straight best friend has been done so many times, and there's only so much you can do with it. Then they add a sequel, and you could argue whether it was even needed. This one's fine in the sense that a third person shows up and eventually becomes the gay guy's partner, but tossing in a curveball at the end wasn't good. It's 8 episodes, each around 35 minutes, and you can watch it on YouTube. Two years after going their separate ways, Kavith, who's gay, and Anshul, who's straight, run into each other by chance at a resort in Alibaug where they're both staying for a week. Anshul's there shooting a movie that his girlfriend got him, and she's extremely possessive, basically holding him hostage with talk of commitment and an eventual marriage, which has been suffocating him. Kavith's eyes light up the second he sees Anshul, and the two slip right back into how things ...

Rien de 9 - Season 1 (French Series) [Nothing New]

By Golu
This show from back in early 2000's was such a drab to watch. I can guarantee you that some of the college film projects are probably more sophisticated, better directed and acted than this one. Also, the story of this show was all over the place. Apparently there were two more seasons of the show and I seriously hope I do not have to watch them. The first season had 11 episodes of about 8-9 minutes average.

Maykel and Johannes, a gay couple, just broke-up and Maykel is now a mess and is also taking anti-depressants. Still in love with Johannes, he seeks help from his friend Margaret, an old lover from high school , whom he also dated for 2 years. It seems she still has feelings for Maykel too. Enter another girl from high school Esther, who apparently was friends with him and suddenly shows up unannounced and gets almost attached to hip of Maykel. And then one day Maykel meets another high school friend of his Greg. Esther decides that it's time to resort to drastic measures, and creates a Facebook profile for Maykel, hoping that Johannes will see it and become jealous. While Maykel and Esther are closer and closer each day, Greg doesn't know what to do to seduce her. As a last idea, he takes advice from Margaret, who literally pushed Greg and Esther together because somewhere she wants Maykel to herself. Watching Greg and Esther kiss each other suddenly makes Maykel jealous and he decides now he is back straight and likes Esther. Suddenly Johannes is back and asks for forgiveness for cheating and that Maykel take him back and also at the same time, almost everyone decides to leave the town and move. Maykel now need to decide between Johannes, Esther and Margaret.

I can't begin to tell you how badly acted and directed this show was.And al these people who were falling head over heels one after the other run love with Maykel, had not one single redeeming quality about him that could make you believe that these people wants Maykel. He is drab, bore and frankly not even good looking in the strictest sense of way. Sure, when the producer /director of the show decides to give the lead role to himself , what do you expect. Less I say about the other actors, the better it is. It's like everyone is after everyone, and they are all going through some secret of wanting to be with Maykel, as if he is some Greek God. All girls/boys totally falling for him. Please! who are you kidding here. Stay away from this one. Suddenly all these bad Thai series are starting to look very professional. I still find it hard to believe someone actually financed to make two more seasons after this. (1/10)

The Tuxedo (Thai Series)

By Golu
When I saw this series with 8 episodes of about 20-25 minutes each, I thought, good: Finally someone has come to senses and made a show which is not stretched out and they have tried to squeeze in a decent storyline in a good small episode format. But unfortunately, despite a decent premise on hand, the clunky writing, bad screenplay and an extreme tasteless portrayal of mental illness makes this show, not a fun watch. By the time it finishes, you just want to laugh off at the entire absurdity of it all. Aioun is talented tuxedo designer and very much in demand but he has handful of clients and he builds suits only for people who he feels a connection to. One night when his younger brother is about to get mugged, he is helped by a total stranger named Sichol. Since he tears his suit in the fight and has an interview the next day, Aioun gifts him a suit form his design as an expression of thanks. Sichol's interview is for. Personal assistant of a man named Nawee, a wealthy heir to h...

Heartstopper: Season 2 (Web Series) (UK)

By Golu
Heartstopper Season 1 was a universal hit. You could not have read one bad review or heard from anyone who has seen the show not liking it. It was the kind of series that is easy to love, with sweetness exploding out of every scene without overwhelming you. So naturally, when Netflix greenly Season 2, expectations were naturally high and the same happened with me. I didn't know what to expect, but I had high expectations of this very very sweet teenage love story. And with eagerness and being a little late to the game by a few days, here I am, pouring my t thoughts down having just finished one of the most anticipated shows of the year. The second season also has 10 episodes and has all of our loved ones from the original season. The show continues from where it had left off in Season 1. Charlie and Nick are a couple and only their very close circle of friends know about it. This includes Charlie's best friend Tao and his trans best friend Elle. The center of the show is still ...

2 Moons 2: The Series (Thai)

By Golu
This reboot/sequel is interesting. I had reviewed 2 moons earlier on my blog, but the season 2 is a combination of being a reboot and a sequel in true sense. Whatever the legal reasons were for the old cast to not continue with this show are none of my concern. Like most people. I was also apprehensive of watching new actors take over characters that I had already associated faces with, but it didn't take much time to like these actors as well. The first 4 episodes does a recap of what we saw in prequel, right till the moment of Ming winning the Moon title. The following 8 episodes takes the story further. Recap of 2 Moons. Wayo and Ming are best friends. The moon competition has just ended, which Ming has won.Wayo is now in love with medical student Pha and they are officially a couple now. Ming continues to flirt with Pha's best friend Kit, who still can't decide whether he likes Ming or not. Beam is the other friend, with whole we have not seen much yet and finally ...
