One of the best murder mystery show I've watched. I definitely recommend you watch this if you're interested in murder mysteries and thrillers - the quality is as high as in western shows.
I have never cried so much in any movie before
watching this TV series showing the political realty had hot/cold war against ottaman empire !
Agatha Christie is one of my all time favourite authors. I've read most of her works and seen several adaptations of them. Murder on the Orient Express (2017) was flawed in certain aspects, mainly the writing, which ultimately made the film fall flat despite its all star cast and impressive visual aesthetic. I know I shouldn't get hyped for Death on the Nile, but it's one of my favourite stories by Christie and I do hope that they do it justice this time.
unlike some of the other netflix docs on similarly "mysterious" topics, this one is respectful and shows clear care for the victims and their loved ones. the content warning at the start is one worth heeding, though i will say that the photography of the scene is shown only in part and never involves the victims' faces.
(a cultural note: if you aren't familiar with funeral rituals in india, cremation is quite common in sikhism and especially so in hinduism (though not necessarily required) as the physical body only houses the soul and thus upon death the soul leaves it behind. i cannot speak to whether this family was hindu or sikh given that both religions seemed present and absent in different settings, but part of my immediate family was raised hindu. to my knowledge, cremation is done within a day of death whenever possible.
so while the speed with which the autopsies are done, the families are provided the bodies and the funeral rites are done may seem strange to an outsider, it's likely part of normal practice for deaths involving law enforcement. the extent the police department reportedly went in ensuring that the family had the necessary pyres, space and preparations for the cremation rituals is significant. the final episode goes into the consequences of this incident on the funeral rites and grieving process for the surviving family and friends, so please know that the "mystery" being solved in the second episode is far from the end of the story. the filmmaker did an excellent job of shedding light on the many facets and layers to this story without sensationalizing any of it, 100% recommended.)
and as someone with a history of mental illness myself and a family history to go with it, i appreciate the time this documentary takes to talk about the mental health stigma in india. it's a global stigma, no doubt about that, but the fear of losing face or shaming your family or lowering your status in east and south asian cultures in particular has led to so much preventable tragedy for so many people. it's an important lesson: try to talk openly about mental health in your daily life. it makes a real difference, trust me.
This is a great tv show so far.
look i don't have epilepsy, but i was close to having a seizure in the lights out scene lmao
Absolutely hated the seizure/motion sickness inducing night scene. I would've much preferred the infamous "I can't see anything" dimly lit cinematography from The Long Night episode of Game of Thrones.
But I loved everything else, especially the tug-of-war. The cast is just phenomenal and the way Number 1 delivers the monologue and his team transforming into warriors is easily the best scene to date.
I love that the romans are speaking actual latin the entire time. It sounds amazing.
Blimey. That ending was brutal. It punched me right in the face. That shit came back to bite Tony right in the arse.
Fun drinking game, take a shot every time Alpha says the word "border" (or in her case "bordah").
There were definitely some nail-biting moments in this episode. I legitimately thought Jerry was going to be offed for that "Winnie the Pooh" like scenario he got himself into. Then again, the entire cave subplot is Carol's fault. I understand that she has been going through a lot, with losing Henry and ending things with Ezekiel - but goddamn. Her knee jerk reactions have been screwing everything up, and (possibly) getting people killed. Though I'm not convinced that Connie and Magna are dead, most likely just injured.
This was definitely the weirdest episode of TWD in a long time, but who doesn't like a little weird from time to time? Negan and Alpha DEFINITELY do...
The camera work at Lu's party scene is on point, great plan sequence!
I can‘t wait for season five, I hope this show gets renewed. I need to know what Grace and Frankie do about their living situation (and how they punish the kids). And I also want to know what happens between Robert, Sol and Roy.
Can we get 5 more seasons please? I love Grace and Frankie's relationship so, so much and I love how they put each other first.
Once again, this season was both heartfelt and funny and the cast did a brilliant job. Fingers crossed for its renewal bc that was a sad ending!
I‘m Frankie when I‘m old. I don‘t know if that‘s a good thing or a bad thing, but I can totally see me doing and saying similar things.
Frankie bonding with her sister was cute and Grace in the store was hilarious, but I hope the two have more scenes together next episode. I love their chemistry.
'Barry, are you hitting on me?'
Oh hilarious! I liked this episode. It's lacking some of the heart of the show (aka Grace and Frankie) but it's a fun ride! The department store scene had me giggling.
THAT PLOT TWIST! BUT IT MAKES SENSE! Perfect timing! Lorca has always been a little shifty, and now we can see why. When did they change over? Did the original Lorca die upon the Klingon ship? He manipulated Stamets into pulling that incredibly risky stunt just because he knew that it would get him back to his original world. But then why would he wait so long? Agree to be put into the agoniser for so long? Something else is going on...
This show is such a welcome treat! Fell in love with these women from the get go.
Alpha and Beta are very interesting characters to watch. I like these flashback episodes that give us more backstory and I'm curious to see where they'll go next in the story. There is a very dark, twisted and powerful bond between the two that makes for great tv.
JODER. Why you gotta emotionally torture Nairobi like that then fucking shoot her in front of her son? Goddamn. That was so sad. First time I cried watching the series. If she dies, I'M DONE WITH THIS SHOW. SHE DESERVES THE WORLD.
Wow. This finale was intense though. The addition of Sierra was what made the season if I'm being honest. One of my least favorite things about S1 was how The Professor was always one step ahead, even if it didn't seem like it at first. And it's almost reversed this season with her. Makes for a much more fun and interesting watch.
I almost had a stroke from laughing hard at this escape part XDDD
This is war. Act accordingly., my God, that was sad and epic at the same time, I had mixed feeling...
It was an honor to be under your command., the most intense sentence of the whole series till now!
Wow, what an ending, how come we will wait for the next season?!
I was afraid that they would screw up this show after the first season because the story ended there, but I have to admit that it was pretty good. Palermo is a good and well-introduced character, but the other new ones felt like they're just extras, and that shouldn't be the case since they're all a team. Alicia was by far my favorite character this season, I absolutely loved her and her craziness.
I also appreciated that little bit of humor they added to some parts.
I'm excited and looking forward to watch the next part, I'm sure it will be epic!
Why would they kill off Nairobi? She's the best.
Nairobii isn't gonnna die, she's everyone's favourite besides Berlin. And they only killed him because that was the end of the show at first, one last heroic act
And I hope they speed up abit with the plan and action for the net part, the ending was so promising
this is the 3rd season, not the 2nd, please adjust properly
Super scènes sous-marines....
