The final episode! Woot! All our questions answered, sort of. Enough left open to make for juicy discussion. (full index of Breathe coverage here)
Continue readingGreat episode, so much happens, and I find it all fairly believable! You know, grading on a curve and all of that. (full index of Breathe reviews here)
Continue readingAnother good episode! Yeah, it was just those resetting post twist episodes that were weak, now we are back to interesting strong ones. (full index of Breathe reviews here)

Once again, I can find a strong central theme tying it all together, and the past storyline ties much more firmly into the present than in other episodes. (full index here)

Fitoor is certainly the biggest flop of 2016 for the Hindi industry, if not of all time, and may have actually brought about the downfall of an entire studio.

I always mean to insult Fitoor, because that is a terrible terrible movie.
