More web-series reviews… Bosch Legacy – 3rd season came out in 2025. Supposed to be the last season.  Bosch is now making a living as a private investigator two years after he quit the LAPD and finds himself working with one time enemy and top-notch attorney Honey "Money" Chandler. Meanwhile, Bosch's daughter Maddie is venturing into the world of the LAPD. A review from IMDB... Just finished watching Season 3 and imho Legacy has gotten better. I agree with most of the consistent criticisms: The original Bosch intro was MUCH cooler than the Legacy intro, Madison Lintz is entirely unconvincing in her role as an LAPD officer. The writers pulled back on Honey Chandler's foul-mouthed characterization and her toughness is portrayed this season through actions rather than words - which was the right move. As many have pointed out, the original Bosch nimbly relied upon the supporting cast, which over time has dw...

More web-series reviews… Dupahiya – Came out in 2025.  A village prepares for its 25th anniversary of being crime-free when a prized motorbike vanishes. With a jubilee trophy, wedding, and town pride at risk, a frantic search to recover the bike before it's too late ensues. A review from IMDB... If there's one thing that's hard for Dupahiya to escape, it's the massive shadow of Panchayat. Let's face it, Panchayat was a game-changer. It set a gold standard for rural-based comedy dramas, and the expectations from any new show trying to do something similar are bound to be sky-high. Dupahiya, steps into this territory with a story set in the small village and honestly, it gives off Panchayat vibes in the first few minutes. The slow-paced, village-life charm, the ensemble cast, the small-town dynamics, it all feels familiar. But it's also quite different in its own right. It has a slightly more comedic, lighter tone, especially with its plot being more focu...

  More web-series reviews…   The Marlow Murder Club – Came out in 2024. Judith, Suzie and Becks start an investigation. To assist with official police investigation, headed by Tanika, They must suspect witnesses, and face down real danger as they work against the clock to stop the killer in their tracks. A review from IMDB... A new British TV series premiered in March 2024. It follows a group of older women who form a club to investigate a series of murders in the picturesque town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire. While the premise is intriguing and the cast is talented, the show ultimately falls short of its potential. The series stars Judith Potts, a retired archaeologist who becomes convinced that a murder has taken place in her neighbour's garden. When the police dismiss her claims, Judith enlists the help of local dog walker Suzie (Jo Martin), vicar's wife Becks (Cara Horgan), and DS Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew) to in...

More web-series reviews… Parachute – Came out in 2024. Shanmugam does not spare the rod and spoil his children. But despite his strict nature, they go on a joyride on his bike and get lost. What will he do now? A review from IMDB... Tone, Script & Story: The story is about two children who go missing in search of their father's bike named parachute. Will they be able to retrieve their father's possession? Will they be able to reunite with their family? The thing is the children fear their father specially the boy. The father is ruthless mainly towards the boy and can be seen thrashing him. As a result the children don't aim to go home but first find the bike. I congratulate "Disney + Hotstar" to bring to us such a wonderful series. Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The poor, their home, the police station, the medical, the route, the map, the van, the riots, the police all stand justified. The story is clean and free from ambiguous storylin...

More web-series reviews… Seruppugal Jaakirathai – Came out in 2025. A pair of ordinary slippers becomes the center of chaos when a diamond smuggler uses them as a hiding spot, triggering a frantic search across town. A review from M9.news... What Is the Show About? Rathinam, a desperate smuggler, conceals a diamond in his slipper during a police raid, inadvertently swapping it with Thyagarajan’s. Thyagarajan, a mild-mannered auditor, and his son, Ilango, discover the swap after the funeral but promptly lose the slipper in a series of comical mishaps. The slipper passes through various eccentric characters, each adding their own chaotic element to the search. Performances Singam Puli, the only familiar face in the show packed with newcomers, does what’s expected of him with his trademark dialogue delivery. There’s nothing new that he does with it, though; he easily sleepwalks through it. Vivek Rajgopal needs more time to develop a flair for comedy; he’s sillier than funny h...
