That's why I told it's skippable. Many don't like it. But I enjoyed the first season of both. The story of Iron Fist returning to his hometown and claiming back his rightful position. Using martial arts to fight against the hand. And Luke Cage fighting against Cottonmouth and protecting Harlem and its people. It was fun. Although the following seasons were not that great.

Well "I am the Iron Fist" became a running joke in my household.I also watched the 1st ssn of both Iron Fist and Luke Cage .Both got progressively worse as the ssn. progressed.Among all of this i liked Punisher the most,Daredevil though good is dialogue heavy and i kind of got drifted away in between the long scenes.

Recently, I watched:

Fighter
A film that is not so bad and at the same time, not so good. A decent one! It's based Indo-Pak topic which has been explored multiple times in Indian cinema (except for Pulwama). HRX carries the film; he's good at his role. But one thing I felt that many characters (including the main villain) haven't been developed properly. VFX is fair considering the standards. 6/10

Boruto (first 52 episodes)
Hmm.. Even the cannon episodes are full of fillers (i.e. it's mixed-cannon). Almost 90% of an episode is filler. Out of five to six arcs, I liked only one arc, however it wasn't executed properly. (If you have watched it you know which arc I'm talking about. I won't give spoilers.) The only time you'll like it when the characters of Naruto series appear on screen. It's good to see the development of your favourite characters, you know. It's fairly decent until now. Let's see what happens now since something interesting has begun!

The following is not a full-fledged spoiler but those who have watched it will only understand what I'm talking about.
"Just as the post credit begins, I usually skip to next episode. I don't know what came to my mind to re-watch the 52nd episode and just by mistake I mis-clicked on time bar to find out that there is a 40-50 post credit scene too and it's worth it! Something very interesting is going to begin! I don't know how many such contents I've left so far."

For me this Naruto saga ended with Shippuden, PERIOD ! Boruto is like when you keep on chewing an amazing flavoured gum far too longer.

I'm not a manga reader but my brother is and he says that nowadays Boruto's manga chapters are very good. (Maybe because Kishimoto joined the writing panel again or whatever it is.) So I hope whenever in future they start animating Boruto again it'll be better and they won't put fillers in it. And, I also hope something good is coming after the 52nd episode. (If you know don't spoil for me, please.) Moreover I'm prepared for forthcoming fillers.

Lastly, in the very beginning Boruto says that it's his story. So for me Naruto's story ended in Shippuden too but I'm just curious to see what they're presenting through Boruto.

To be honest, watching Naruto grow into Hokage and taking charge , also participating in many such missions says otherwise from the narrative that this is Boruto's story. But yeah if you like it you like it. Don't worry I will not spoil it further, but beware for this abyss is a long walk.
 
Watched few shows and movies over this week:
1)The Agency on JioHostar
This is as close as a show can get to the real life spies.This show is not for someone who expects a James Bond type of spy.It is more about the analysis and decision making part of spy world.It is quite slow and boring at times but has been executed very well.

2)The Are Murders
Nordic suspense thriller on Netflix.It is Okish.There are 5 episodes in total.1st story ends in 3rd episode.don't know why they stretched the show for another 2 episodes with another story.Overall the series is on similar lines to other Nordic series of similar genre i.e Murder,infidelity etc.
 
Have seen the entirety of Andor Season 2. Its the best Star Wars content in the Disney Era. I recommend everyone who haven't watched Season 1 of the show to complete it ahead of its season 2 premiere on this Wednesday. It caught me so emotionally invested, eventhough I know what happens in Rouge One as the series finale just ends prior to that film, I wanted watched the film. I can't more as its fully embargoed till Monday night for full reviews. If you are into Sci-Fi or Espionage (Spy thrillers) just give it a watch.
 
I watched entire ssn. of "Khauf" on Prime Video.I found it a bit disturbing to watch .First of all it is not entirely a Horror show.The series focuses more on the trauma faced by women in their life.The story could have been told without any horror input in it which though is curious in beginning,is not frightening at all.Rajat Kapoor's character is not at all developed in the story and god knows who asked him to speak in a barely understandable heavy voice.The extent of eve teasing shown in the series in Delhi if its right,i can't comprehend how hard it would be for women there.

This and Mandalorian are getting good traction. Can I watch it if I haven't followed the star wars lore completely like more of a Canon storyline?
