HBO’s Watchmen series is a sequel of sorts (called a “remix”) to Alan Moore’s graphic novel of the same name. It is created by Damon Lindelof, co-creator of Lost and HBO’s own The Leftovers. Our verdict reads, "The show is immaculately made. The budget has been put to good use. The cinematography and visual effects are simply excellent. The writing is consistently smart, with weighty, substantial dialogue that one has to pause and replay to fully grasp it (or at least I did that). This series demands your constant attention. Bingeing won’t do justice here." Click here to know more.

Starring the likes of Abhishek Banerjee, Neeraj Kabi and Jaideep Ahlawat, Amazon Prime's Paatal Lok has been receiving all kinds of love by people. The Indian Express' critic Shubra Gupta wrote, "Paatal Lok is an old-fashioned, evocative word which means hell or the nether-world, the exact opposite of swarg-lok aka heaven. And in this tale written by Sudip Sharma, produced by Anushka Sharma, we are led inexorably into darkness, which gets darker at each step: there are some parts here, doused in blood and bone and gristle, making even the most hardened fans of gore wince. I confess to closing my eyes in a couple of scenes, but the violence isn’t gratuitous because it has history: we know there will be blood."
