Top Boy (2011)
Excellent & Perfect
This series' got everything you want. It is gripping, rude, havoc, raw, thrilling and above all, a perfectly written and well produced series.
You don't come often to see a series like this one. The screenplay amd background score sets the right tone in each scene.
It is a serious drama. It grips you in like one of its characters. No waste scenes! No elongated throwaways
.. Just pinpoint to the story being narrated.
Every actor has done right job
It portrays destiny, luck, emotions, rage and face of the part of society which exists but no one wants to see it in a proper way. The show has garnered right admiration.
Prison Break (2005)
The only problem with the show - It never seems to end
I was lucky to find that the show recently dropped at Netflix USA. I have always been very exciting about it due to its rating and buzz. Well the season 1 lands you right in spot of mystery & perfect political - spy thriller. Regardless the fact that when I checked that 1st Season contains 21+ episodes and there are 5 seasons of same no if episodes; it kind of made me weary in just beginning...
The Season 1 grips you and set the whole atmosphere. Still you find it too much twisted at some occasions... Like whenever it seems to conclude at some point.... It gets a re-twisted.
Similarly Season 2 runs and runs... like every character running in the show.
So as per my opinion the creators just made it repetitive in wake of making it appear too complicated which lands you in a position where you start predicting the next move or outcome and 70% of your predictions result correct.
Eric (2024)
Engaging but overstretched
I recently watched the show and found it to be a captivating and well-crafted series. The characters were well-developed, and the themes were thought-provoking. However, I couldn't shake off the feeling that the show was slightly overstretched. Could have been made atleast 2 episodes shorter..
Sometimes I felt that the pacing dragged in a few places, and some scenes could have been trimmed or condensed to maintain a tighter narrative. In each episode the sideway scenes make you do fast forwarding.
Despite this, the show's strengths outweigh its weaknesses, and I would still recommend it to fans of the genre. The acting was superb, the writing was clever, and the overall story arc was satisfying.
Fool Me Once (2024)
Good... But loses grip being dragged
The sbow starts being gripping. The story starts off really well and contains all the good stuff to be a great show... However with the passage of time... It loses that essence of being a "thriller". The story loses its grip. It feels more and more dragged. One feels to get it to end.
I think in my opinion the show could be finished well in 2 episodes lesser. Still a good watch but definitely not as much as you expect from a really gripping thriller.
Background score could have been better. The story could have been cut early to shed unnecessary drags.
All the performances are worth watching.
Dhokha: Round D Corner (2022)
Trying hard to be thriller ; but nothing thrilling in it
The film starts with some good flow. The plot emerges and one gets clear idea what's gonna go next. A weak plot; however you still would try to keep you in the film.... But Sorry.... It is too lame and falls straight down. The script is not engaging. Storyline is very much predictable and doesn't keep you attached to the film. You may easily spend 1 hour away from the screen and there would be no development in the film when you rejoin. It appears to be a childish attempt to make a thriller which the tagline says. The film doesn't justify the time, plot and acting. Bollywood really needs to think out of box.
El inocente (2021)
Astounding storytelling!
The direction and storytelling is perfect and unique of it's kind. Immense drama and a gripping thriller with outstanding performances. Keeps you hoojed and tangled on what's coming next.
