“Dead Boy Detectives” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
“Dead Boy Detectives” is a fun show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, while also providing the audience with a wide range of themes from existential life and death lessons about growing (and dying) pains, to mystery, drama, friendship and romance. The series keeps you engaged from the beginning to the end, and while Netflix does a horrible job at marketing such stories, it is worth the watch, and I hope they have the good sense to keep making these CW-esque shows as they do grow a cult-following, especially with the more episodes made and the rewatch value of these shows are exceptionally strong.

“My Stand-In” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Love isn’t always beautiful or happy. In truth, love isn’t really about beauty at all but the depths to which we can fall, good or bad. The beautiful is in the good. The pain is in the bad.

“Healing Thingyan” Series Review (Ep.1 to 3)
This is a charming mini-series composed of three short episodes and a special episode, centering around a sublime and captivating Burmese festival. One gets to sprinkle water on others as a way of symbolically wishing them good luck in the coming year. It is believed that water can fix mistakes, drive out bad luck, and bring greater health and happiness. It is a 3-to-5-day celebration held in Myanmar that is festive and fun and held before their New Year which is in April. I found the festival to be quite beautiful and convivial.

“We Are Series” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 4)
At first glance, “We Are” seems like a cliché bubblegum show without much substance, however, as you delve deeper into the show, without any cynicism it is pure swoon worthy romance and presents a genre I quite like which is equivalent to the early 2000s chick flicks. Although it doesn’t have much to say or has no edge, it gives us heartwarming love stories, actual courtship and although there are elements of slow burn romance in some of the couples, the show balances it out by giving us different solid story lines to follow that are all wholesome and you can’t help but root for each single couple. Comfort shows with low stakes, that are written to make the audience feel good are severely underrated and its easy to write them off as bubblegum shows that lose flavor quickly, however, you cannot deny that when they are sweet, they are indeed sweet.
