More web-series reviews… Convicting a Murderer – Came out in 2023.  Convicting a Murderer unveils the shocking truth behind one of the most controversial criminal cases in recent history. In Making a Murderer, Steven Avery was portrayed as an innocent victim of corrupt law enforcement, but there's more to the story than what we were shown. Join Candace Owens as she sets the record straight by exposing hidden evidence in the murder of Teresa Halbach. One of the reviews from IMDB... As someone who found season one of Making a Murderer perfect (initially), this was a perfect down to earth alternative point of view. Was aware of some liberties the Netflix show took from news articles, but this so much more details that you would expect. Maybe you have to start it with an open mind, as I definitely didn't have something against DailyWire or Candice (first encounter). As the series progressed it got better and more intere...

More web-series reviews… The Fall of the House of Usher – Came out in 2023. Another Mike Flanagan series.  The Usher family is never far from controversy. The fortunes of siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher were made through Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, a company whose products are often under scrutiny due to health concerns. Assistant District Attorney C. Auguste Dupin is determined to land a conviction and his case against Fortunato and the Ushers has gone to trial. Now, right in the middle of the trial, Roderick's children are dying under mysterious circumstances. Roderick Usher knows who/what is behind the deaths and meets with Dupin to reveal all. A review from IMDB... In my opinion, polarising creations are always fascinating, and generally I don't think ill of people who happen to dislike what I enjoy very much. I'm not particularly fond of being meta in my reviews either, but I feel that in the case of "...

But as secrets tumble out that the murderer would rather have hidden, the next person to lose their life might be Charlie herself.  Based on Agatha Christie's The Sittaford Mystery. A review from The Quint... Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of Solang Valley opens with a séance, helmed by a broody and mysterious psychic (Naseeruddin Shah). Skeptics and believers alike populate this small get-together in Solang Valley which comes to an abrupt end when it is “revealed” that Brigadier Meherbaan Singh Rawat (Gulshan Grover) might be dead. This small sequence is enough to suck you into the narrative, especially since it is peppered with all the Vishal Bhardwaj magic of, say, a Makdee. What follows is an enticing mix of Bhardwaj an...

More web-series reviews… Aakhri Sach – Came out in 2023. A bone chilling history that unravels the twisted ties of fate, hidden secrets of a family and terrifying horrors an investigator has ever seen. Based on Burari suicides case. A review from IMDB... "Aakhri Sach" is an outstanding series that left a profound impact on me. It takes real events from the Burari case, and presents them with an incredible level of detail and accuracy. The dedication to portraying the events as they happened is commendable. The series masterfully captures the essence of the case, drawing viewers into the mysterious and chilling world of the Burari incident. The attention to detail, from the character portrayals to the settings and dialogues, is impeccable. It truly felt like reliving those moments as they unfolded in real life. One of the most commendable aspects of "Aakhri Sach" is how it respects the sensitivity of the ...
