What to Binge this Long Weekend!

 Hello, hello,

A nice long weekend is staring us in the face and if you are not travelling anywhere and planning a cozy weekend at home, like us, then we've got you covered! 

Sharing some of our must-binge shows and movies below that will have you all set for the weekend! 

1. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (Prime Video)

If you, like us, loved and watched Pretty Little Liars, then this reboot of the series is eminently watchable! Also, even if you haven't watched the OG PLL but love slasher flicks, then this one has to be on your watchlist! 

Set in small town Pennsylvania, just like the OG show was, and revolves around 5 girls connected by a macabre incident in their mothers' lives! 

Don't want to give too much away, but 5 episodes in and we are totally hooked! Give this a watch!  

2. Old (Prime Video) 

A creepy, makes-you-think kinda movie that is very watchable, Old is almost quintessentially M. Night Shyamalan but also not. 

A family on holiday goes off to a quiet, private beach for a fun day. However, the fun doesn't last very long as their little kids start rapidly growing up. Why is this happening? Will the people be able to save themselves? 

A fast-paced and engrossing watch! 

3. The Black Phone (Prime Video- available for Rent)

When several teenage boys go missing in a small town, the town is obviously on edge. Two siblings- Finney and Gwen- live with their alcoholic father and are doing their best to stay safe. Gwen often gets dreams about the missing children, which she doesn't quite know what to do with! 

Then one day, Finney is taken by the man known as The Grabber. Gentle, quiet Finney finds himself in the lair of the monster and doesn't know how to save himself, but then, the un-connected black phone next to him rings. Who is calling? Are they a friend or a foe?

The Black Phone is a highly gratifying movie about courage and strength. Do watch it. 

4. Jurassic World: Dominion (Prime Video- available for Rent)

The last movie in the newest Jurassic World trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion opens in a world where dinosaurs are roaming free and their DNA is being rapidly weaponised! 

If you are looking for a fun, adventure-packed movie, then this is a good one to watch.  

5. D-Block (Prime Video) 

Students of an engineering college set in the middle of a remote forest are put on edge when a classmate is mauled to death by a leopard. 

But was Swathi really killed by a leopard? Who is the dark man-like figure that she'd seen lurking in her hostel corridor? What is really going on in the girls' hostel? 

D-Block is a Tamil thriller that is available with subtitles on Prime Video. 

It is a nicely done, suspenseful coming-of-age thriller set in a spooky college campus! Very very watchable! 

6. 21 Grams (Disney+ Hotstar)

Malayalam thriller movies are our absolute favourite because of the sheer range they have in terms of premise! 

Twenty One Grams is another thriller that is nicely done and has several red herrings! Definitely worth a watch! 

7. Darlings (Netflix) 

By now everyone and their aunt must've watched Darlings and with good reason! A dark comedy that gets it so, so right! 

If you haven't watched it yet, you totally must watch it this weekend! Fantastic performances and some really laugh out loud, scary and moving moments make up this fantastic movie! 

8. Ghar Waapsi (Disney+ Hotstar)

A simple story about an IT professional, who moves back to his small town when he is laid off. Whilst he is at home, he questions the need to go back to his big city, corporate job life and if he can do something meaningful at home while also being there for his parents. 

A very relatable and nicely done series. Very heartwarming. 

9. Masaba Masaba Season 2 (Netflix) 

Masaba Masaba Season 2 is a masterclass on how to get the second season of a hit show right! This season follows Masaba and her mum, Neena Gupta, as they both focus on "girl bossing" up their lives. 

Full of very relatable and fun moments, this season hits it out of the park! 

Let us know if you were Team Dhairya or Team Fateh? :) 

10. Not Okay (Disney+ Hotstar) 

In order to impress a guy, a girl lies about taking a trip to Paris. Whilst she was posting photoshopped pics of herself in Paris, there is a terror attack and she now claims to be a survivor! 

Things, of course, get super messy when she is caught out in her lie! A hilarious and thought-provoking movie about cancel culture, internet shaming and, of course, the urge to lie about how fabulous one's life is on the net! 

Definitely worth a watch!

Have a great long weekend, y'all!
