124. Web-series Reviews – 10


Some more web-series to see during the lockdown😊😊

The Keepers – The Keepers is a seven-episode American documentary web series that explores the unsolved murder of nun Sister Cathy Cesnik, who taught English and drama at Baltimore's Archbishop Keough High School, and her former students' belief that there was a cover-up by authorities after Cesnik suspected that a priest at the school, A. Joseph Maskell, was guilty of sexual abuse of students.

A fascinating long series about of a group of courageous and tenacious women, who refuse to let slide the brutal murder of a young lady who was important and highly influential in their lives and whom they all loved and respected, a case which the local police had run aground about almost 50 years ago, or seemingly.

An admirable and effective documentary that encourages its audience to look deeper and keep on questioning. The bravery of all those facing their demons here is tangible, provoking us to take action ourselves when it's called for in our lives, and to do the right thing.

A very well-made documentary that depicts how powerful institutions trample everything to keep their names above all.  Nothing else matters other than their reputation, irrespective of the nature and atrocity of the crimes that they shield.  Worth a watch.  

American Crime Story – "The People v. O. J. Simpson" is the first season of the FX true crime anthology television series. It revolves around the O. J. Simpson murder case and is based on Jeffrey Toobin's book The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson (1997).

The season received critical acclaim, with praise for most of the performances, directing and writing. For the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards, the season received 22 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, in 13 categories, winning nine, more than any other show, including Outstanding Limited Series. It also won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Miniseries or Television Film and Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for Sarah Paulson, who acted as the prosecution lawyer. 

A well-made series depicting everything that happened after the murders of OJ Simpson's wife and Ron Goldman including how OJ Simpson was arrested after his chase was broadcasted "live" on TV.  The message you get from the series is that if you know how to convince a jury, irrespective of whatever real evidence the state has, you can get away with murder😊.  And this is not a documentary😊.

I have not watched the second season – The Assassination of Gianni Versace. I read the summary and was not inclined to watch it.

How to Get Away with Murder – A group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defense professor become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives. The serial is very fast and you have to keep concentrating else you miss something. This series also shows how a lawyer goes all out to secure freedom for her clients, in any way whatsoever, justice be damned. Each episode tackles getting one client secure his freedom while there is a story of a murder that the law students might have done, which runs thru the entire season.  Each season starts with a murder without showing the actual murder and all the participants.  Each episode starts with showing the same murder with some more scenes till the end part of the season where the entire murder is shown and who all participated in that.  

I thought I will see the first season and stop.  But the end of the 1st season made me see the 2nd season and now I am into the mid of 4th season😊, expecting to complete this season by today evening😊.  The 6th season is running now and is expected to complete by end-May.  Overall, a definitive watch.  

Cheers and from next blog, we will move away from the web-series reviews😊, even though I still have some more series to watch😊, and then review!!  Also, one of my college friends asked me to write on other stuff too!!  He feels that once I stop writing on web-series, maybe the lockdown will be lifted soon😊!!

167. Ramanarayanam Temple, Vizianagaram

Image
This temple should be on your must-watch bucket list!  It was inaugurated in March 2014.  Not many people are aware of this temple.  I spoke to an official there as to why they are not promoting this in a big way.  He said they have a website and all the details are published there.  I believe, since most of the stuff is mentioned in Telugu language, they are not able to attract many visitors.  Although for the Hanuman 3-d laser projection show, held thrice in the evening, there is a crowd.    The temple is located on the outskirts of the Vizianagaram town. The temple is in the shape of a bow.  At the two ends of each bow, there are 2 temples, one for Ram-Lakshman-Sita and one for Vishnu.  Between the temples, shaped in the two bows, there are two galleries depicting Ramayana.  A total of 72 laminated moldings depict the entire Ramayana. At the mid-way of the two galleries, is a tall Hanuman statue, on which the 3-d laser show is ...

1 WhatsAppa Mantras

We all are aware of what WhatsApp is and use it almost on an hourly basis now.  These are some of MY mantras that I follow while using WhatsApp.  You might be following some of these on your own without realizing the same!!  In case you have identified more, please feel free to use the comments section to tell me.  Maybe I can publish an updated Mantras List later!!  Fix a fixed time for checking WhatsApp messages and replying to them.   Other times, just switch off the notifications so that you don’t unnecessarily check your phone for new messages.   Most of the times it would have been the same forward that you got 2 days back!!   Please remember, in case of any emergency, the contact would have called you and not have sent a message JJ Forward only those messages that bring some emotion to you – happiness, heart-whelming or something that makes you proud.   No need to forward just because someone else forwarded to you and you want...
