TV SHOW REVIEW / Back to robots dabbling in philosophy
From the get go, this season shows us the extent of the fractured timelines for this season. They turn it from a plot twist to the central mystery. We are shown separate timelines, from the perspective of several key characters. We are then left to wonder what's happening when and how it'll all unfold and fit together.
Reasons to love Ittyadi
Ittyadi shares the same position as khichuri on a rainy day in a Bangladeshi household. Since the show has been going on for over 25 years now, it has seen its viewership swell. My parents introduced me to the show when I was a child.
Nuanced, Colourful and Memorable

Of course you've spent hours in front of the TV watching classic cartoons and wishing your life could be just as fun. And because almost all cartoon shows have animals as pets, this is how it would be if you had a cartoon character in your house.
Strange TV shows from our childhoods
Childhood memories usually stay in the perimeter of family trips, having fun with friends, the first time doing something we're not supposed to do and would most certainly get in trouble for, getting the highest marks on an exam, etc.
The cruiserweight division: why do we need it?
Last year, WWE announced the Cruiserweight Classic. During the breath-taking tournament and before the final match, Triple H announced that the winner would become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion and that they were bringing back the cruiserweight division.
Back to lazy superhero shows
The Devil of Hell's Kitchen, the unyielding girl, the man with unbreakable skin and the sworn protector of K'un-Lun — an ensemble of heroes you did not know or care about until MCU's bold ventures into the TV screen.
The best TV adaptation of a video game
