The world around us is crumbling. There is death and heartache no matter where you look. We've lost 8 family members and family friends in the past 10 days alone. My sister has lost two colleagues. It is impossible to deal with this situation in any sane way and the only thing we can do is distract ourselves.
So, that is what we did. We watched some web series and here are the ones we liked a bit more than the others.
1. Crash Landing on You: A South Korean heiress- Yoon Se-ri- gets blown off by a tornado, whilst filming a promotional video for her new range of active wear clothing, into North Korea. There she, literally, crash lands on Captain Ri Joeng Hyoek- a North Korean army captain. The rest of this show is just full of cute, heartwarming and funny moments. Highly, highly recommend. Watch on Netflix.
2. Shey Je Holud Pakhi 2: The second season of Shey Je Holud Pakhi involves the police following a slew of leads to solve a very challenging murder case. This is a good one! Do watch. Streaming on Hoichoi.
3. Kathmandu Connection: A news reader keeps getting missed calls from a number in Kathmandu. An encounter specialist cop is looking for a gang that killed a customs officer and with links to the Mumbai blasts. All roads seem to lead to Kathmandu, where Sunny, a gangster, is making his own plans to start off on his own, out from under the shadow of his boss. Set in the early 90s, Kathmandu Connection is a thriller with a nice little twist. Streaming on Sony Liv.
4. Project 9191: What if a crime could be stopped before it was even committed? What if we could leverage social media listening and mine through all the tips sent in by citizens of suspicious activities to stop a crime before it was committed? That's the premise of this show where a small group of cops form a unit called 9191, which is focused on stopping crimes before they happen. An interesting premise and an interesting series with quite a few twists and turns. Streaming on Sony Liv.
5. Your Honour: Adapted from the eponymous English and the original Israeli TV show, Your Honour tells the story of a judge, whose son was involved in a hit and run and the extraordinary measures taken by him to save his son. A heartbreaking, suspense-filled drama with a few unexpected twists. Streaming on Sony Liv.
6. Undekhi: A videographer at a wedding witnesses a dancer being shot to death by the groom's drunken father. The influential family closes ranks and threatens all the eye witnesses to keep their mouths shut. However, the young videographer wants justice for the dead girl and his actions set into motion a series of horrific events that impact the lives of everyone involved with the wedding. Streaming on Sony Liv.
