Last watchalong post! These did not get as many views/comments as I thought they would, so I am debating whether I should start another one. Let me know what you think!
Continue readingWatching the show the first time, I had no idea what would be left for the final episode because so much happened in this one. But there is SO MUCH MORE TO GO!!!!
Continue readingOops, in all the Rani excitement I forgot to post this yesterday. Oh well, I can post the next one late tonight and double up.
Continue readingSuch a good interesting episode! Takes everyone out of their place and problems and brings them to a new place and different problems.
Continue readingThis is such a stark turning point in the series. Good structure, exactly halfway. It is also the turning point when I decided I truly truly hated the Shashank voice over.
Continue readingWoo-hoo, Deepti! And also a bunch of horrible children. But hey, it wouldn’t be an exploration of Indian class and society if we didn’t have some horrible children up in here. To balance, most every episode after this has Horrible Parents.
Continue readingAll the excitement of Shashifest distracted me. Sorry! Anyway, here it is.
Continue readingAll right, let’s do this! From our own isolated work at home places, we all watch an episode a day, and then come together to talk about it.
Continue readingI’m going out of town this weekend, weird timing I know but it’s a family thing that is worth doing no matter what. But starting next week, all home all the time and I am going to be going INSANE! As are many of you. So, I have a plan! Which will be constantly evolving as I think of other things, and as you suggest brilliant ideas. Really, suggest on this post, I’m open to anything. Heck, if we can figure out group video calling, I’m down for that.
Continue readingFinal post! Views have slowed down rapidly, but the nice thing with a streaming series is, I can just have these posts available and wait for more people to finish the series and then come check in. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingLast character post! I have a lot to say about these two, because it feels like there are a lot of interpretations of them, and the series never really landed on one or the other.
(oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
I’m combining these two, because their storyline was so interwoven in this season. Plus, interest in the MiH posts is dwindling so I want to get them over with. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Halfway through the week after Daylight Savings started! I am delighted to drive home with the sun still out, but I am also very sleepy and looking forward to the weekend.
Continue readingWell, that took me 48 hours to finish! A sign of a very good show, considering I had to go to work in the middle of that. And sleep. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingFinally, some happy couples! Of course, they are the ones who mostly avoid the whole wedding insanity. Which is why we only seem to see bad people in this show, the ones who buy into the need for the expensive showy wedding. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingWell, this is a fascinating episode! In some ways it feels too simple, in others too complicated. But the way the story brings out surprising contrasting emotions in Arjun and Sobhita, that surprised me. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingThis is a definite “it all falls down” kind of episode. After the holding pattern of the last episode, everything happens all of a sudden. And because of that, the wedding story gets a bit short shrift. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingThis was kind of a sad episode! I want more happy ones, like the Sikhs in the second episode. Or even the Deepti episode, that was happy in the end. But the last two, just SAD! (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingBlech, that voice over has GOT to go!!!!! There’s a great moment in this episode, very powerful, which is immediately undercut by the stupid stupid voice over. This might have been my favorite episode of the series so far, except the voice over just destroys it. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingI put up a review of episode 1 already, I’m going this show episode by episode because it breaks down tidily into separate stories unlike Humsafar or Sacred Games. This also makes it way WAY easier for me to review, since I can do short little reviews episode by episode instead of trying to binge the whole thing and then review the whole thing. (full index of Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingWhat a fun show! And part of the fun is that each episode is it’s own distinct storyline, which means I can do fun little mini-reviews of each episode instead of trying to kill myself watching the whole season and doing one review real quick. (full index of Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingWell, this is a sign! I am excited about two upcoming things, and neither of them are traditional Hindi theatrical releases. Not only that, both of them were tweeted/promoted by mainstream Hindi film people, so the industry is paying more attention outside of Hindi theatrical releases too.
