This was an interesting episode, second to last in the season, and the first one where we really see Mithila and Dhruv interacting with the outside world, and how they are perceived by the outside world. (index of all Little Things reviews here)

Important Discussion Question! Which is the Sexiest Instrument?
Inspired by Shahrukh learning guitar, I think we have to decide, as a collective, the answer to this important question. Is the guitar the sexiest instrument, or is it something else?
Continue readingMentalHood Episode 3: Gender is a Construct, How Progressive is THAT for an Indian Streaming Show????
This is SUCH a good episode! Really well-done and smart and not giving any easy answers to an issue. Feels like this is the episode where they really are saying what they want to say and the others were just marking time. Really, if the first two episodes don’t grab you, keep watching until this one before you give up. (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)

ALTBalaji! The little streaming service that could! It’s the streaming branch of Ekta Kapoor’s entertainment empire, and while on satellite TV she is know for inventing the sweet saccharine family drama, on streaming she is all about groundbreaking quality. This show isn’t the best of what she’s done, but it’s pretty darn good! Especially if you like mommy problems dramedies (Big Little Lies, the Bad Moms movies, etc.).

Not gonna say the first big hit serial or anything like that, because Pakistani TV serials have been great since the 80s at least. But this was the one that hit satellite TV big time all over the world.

I’ve been thinking I need to do more streaming series reviews, so I sat down all ready to finally watch Family Man on Prime, deep and complex and clever and critically acclaimed, deserving of lengthy in depth reviews and discussion. And I just can’t do it. So instead, I went the total opposite direction and started Little Things on Netflix. Cozy, happy, uncomplicated, 15 minute episodes. Awwww. It’s like having a little piece of chocolate instead of a full meal. (index of all Little Things reviews here)
