House(2004–2012)- Review
House (previously called House, M.D.) is a medical drama that centers around Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), he is an exceptional & brilliant doctor running the diagnostics department at Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. What he makes up in medicinal prowess is undone by his lack of social skills and carefree nature. He has a reputation of being erratic, unpredictable and extremely hard to work with. As his diagnostic skills & unconventional treatment methods which more often than not successful, are outmatched by most of his peers, the hospital has no option but to have him if they want to have a diagnostics department. The hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine, and long-time friend of House Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), is the only person that can keep him in check, and only person that can tolerate him as a subordinate. House’s only friend is Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), head of the Department of Oncology. Throughout the series House and his team come across several cases that are not yet diagnosed. They try to find the diagnosis and ultimately its cure. Under the instructions of House his team too is made to engage in unconventional methods, which leads them to sometimes cross legal/ethical/moral lines, due to it he and his team often find themselves in a conflict with other doctors at the hospital, mainly Dr. Lisa Cuddy.

AK vs AK(2020)- Review
AK vs AK is a Netflix film starring Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap, playing themselves as the title characters. The film begins with displaying a celebrity feud between the two "AK's" that has been boiling for years. The story then kicks in when Kashyap develops an idea for a film/documentary where Kapoor's daughter Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, needless to say played by herself, is kidnapped on his birthday and he needs to find her before the sunrise of the coming morning. Kapoor's quest to find his kidnapped daughter will be filmed by Kashyap, and he'll need to follow a few instructions as laid out by Kashyap. The film runs through Kapoor's attempts & pursuit trying to fulfil the story/film as devised by Kashyap. But it won't be a cakewalk as planned with a few surprise curveballs & speed breakers that come along the way.

Wonder (2017)- Review
The 21st century has been all about materialistic possessions and the aesthetic value of everything, including humans. On the face of it we may be going with the now accepted notion, but deep inside we feel a sense of shallowness in judging it all from just its exterior. This feeling occupies a tiny space in our heart, of wanting to go beyond what is displayed. Wonder simply reaches out to this deep kept feeling of ours that we have been ignoring.

Suits(2011–2019)- Review
Suits is a legal drama, primarily showcasing a law firm (initially Pearson Hardman), its workings and the stories few of few of its executives. It would have been a very much alike to the ubiquitous TV shows’ on lawyers/law firms, but Suits brings together a curl to the high flying lifestyle of lawyers, or as has been showcased on the screen. Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) is nothing short of a genius with his brilliant mind and photographic memory, but due to his unimpressive history in his previous years has stymied him in achieving his dream from becoming a lawyer. To make ends meet he takes on a few jobs whose legality can be questioned. When one of these jobs takes a dark turn, and Mike trying to fend off the police of his shoulder, serendipitously runs into Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Harvey is interviewing candidates for his firm. Harvey extremely impressed by Mike offers him the job despite knowing that he does not have a law degree. The basic premise of the story works on this with Mike & Harvey trying to keep Mike’s identity a secret, along with taking on difficult cases and trying to find solutions in unconventional ways.

DEBUNKED: No, Gina Carano Has Not Been Asked To Apologize If She Wants Her Own Spin-Off Show
You have probably heard of 'We Got This Covered' and seen much of their headlines on your newsfeed or in some of the groups you have been in. For some reason, their articles spread like wildfire, even though what they report often lacks validity. So what is one of their most recent reports, you may be asking? Well, this one pertains to The Mandalorian. Specifically, it pertains to Gina Carano, who has stirred controversy on Twitter by mocking the inclusion of gender pronouns via her use of "Beep/Bop/Boop" in her Twitter bio and shared anti-mask memes. Unsurprisingly, she has offended a lot of people.
