Andor (2022-2025)
Wonderfully grounded with gritty tension and outstanding writing! Diego Luna and the entire ensemble make the slow-burn rebellion feel dangerous. The early episodes take time to build, but the payoff is incredible.

His Dark Materials (2019-2022)
TV Shows | Fantasy
A surprisingly imaginative adaptation that’s very faithful to the books, with exceptional visual design and acting, especially for Lyra, Coulter and Asriel. The story and quality scaled with every season. I wish they had explained some things more. But watch it if you get a chance, on a good screen!
Fallout (2024-running)
TV Shows | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi
A chaotic blast that nails the quirky wasteland retro-futurism! The over-the-top gore in some moments might make you wince, but the sharp humour keeps it fun. Walton Goggins as the Ghoul is excellent. Watch it in 4K on a big screen!
Hannibal (2013-2015)
TV Shows | Thriller
A gorgeously twisted visual feast with excellent acting and story! The dreamlike atmosphere is really well-shot. It gets intensely graphic and psychological, but the artistry is really good. Watch it on a good TV!
The IT Crowd (2006-2013)
TV Shows | Comedy
Hilarious British sitcom with chaotic energy and endlessly quotable banter! The basement trio and characters like Douglas and Richmond make even ridiculous setups work so well. I wish there was less laugh soundtrack, but it doesn’t stop being funny.
The Last of Us (2023-running)
TV Shows | Action, Drama
It feels more like a story between two main and a few more characters. When it does want to show itself as a survival series, it feels rushed somehow. But maybe that’s because the other good parts are very well done, with excellent acting!
The Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power (2022-running)
TV Shows | Action, Fantasy
I found it to be gorgeously detailed from its expansive scale to its minute designs and effects. The pacing does feel uneven but then again, it is a visual treat. Watch it in 4K on a big TV, if you can!
Breaking Bad (2008-2013)
TV Shows | Drama, Thriller
Not much needs to be said about Breaking Bad. It’s just astoundingly magnificent in building a whole set of characters. So many intricate details!
Mr. Robot (2015-2019)
TV Shows | Drama, Thriller
Brilliantly well-made and gripping from day one! Every cast member’s excellent acting carries the story forward in a tense atmosphere. The plot gets pretty dense and paranoid, but it pays off completely. If you stick with it, you will be rewarded.
Shōgun (2024-running)
TV Shows | Drama
I found Shōgun to be very well-made and wonderfully detailed! The characters, acting, dialogue and political scheming are built up with patience. Best to watch on a big screen because you will need subtitles.
True Detective (2014-running)
TV Shows | Thriller
I haven't watched S3-S4 but season one is still television at its finest with unmatched packaging and southern gothic dread! Season two gets messy and convoluted, but the gritty noir mood still works. Watch the first season with good headphones!
Westworld (2016-2022)
TV Shows | Drama, Thriller
I found the early seasons to be really entertaining with rich visual design, high production standards, great storylines and dialogues carried by strong steady acting. But somewhere along the seasons, it started losing its pull. Just watch it for the first season at least!
Alien: Earth (2025-running)
TV Shows | Horror, Thriller
A surprise in the good way! The first season is exceptionally well-made, has monsters in more forms and is packed with a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere! Bringing new dread to Earth was built up remarkably well, with really good visual effects. Acting is great too!
Utopia (2013–2014)
TV Shows | Thriller
Not usually available on most platforms. It is visually striking with hyper-saturated colours, conspiracy dread, and chaotic energy! The display of violence is discomforting for sure.
Kingdom (2019-running)
TV Shows | Action, Horror, Thriller
Back when Netflix used to be good. This is an excellent mix of politics and relentless zombie dread! The gorgeous cinematography, costume details and pacing pull you right in, even when the court plots get dense. Watch it with the original Korean audio and subtitles on a big good screen! Worth it!
Pluribus (2025-running)
TV Shows | Drama, Comedy
Vince Gilligan delivers another ride with a great cast shining in fine acting! The eerie concept of a polite takeover is fresh. The pacing starts a bit slow, but the dark comedy pays off.
Better Call Saul (2015-2022)
TV Shows | Drama, Comedy
Possibly the best character-driven TV series. Brilliant in everything from start to finish.
The Fall (2013-2016)
TV Shows | Thriller
Why did they not continue this show?! Excellent acting, story and tension in a cat-and-mouse hunt that tracks both a serial killer’s double life and a cool detective’s pursuit. Season three slows down considerably, but the first two are pure thrillers.

The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker
Books | Psychology, History
I’m finally making time to read this book. While it challenges the pessimistic narrative that the world is growing more violent, my goal is also to observe how a master researcher structures massive global datasets into a cohesive narrative.
How to Feed the World by Vaclav Smil
Books | Science
Getting ready to read this book to ground myself in physical realities. I want to see how Vaclav Smil synthesises agronomy and economics to explain the hidden complexities of food production, without the political noise.
Grand Transitions by Vaclav Smil
Books | Science, History
Where 'How to Feed the World' focuses on one survival pillar, this book by Vaclav Smil zooms out to energy and economics. I want to read this demanding book to better understand the macro-systems driving human progress.
Rurouni Kenshin (2012-2021)
Movies | Action
Phenomenal live-action adaptation with jaw-dropping, fast-paced sword choreography! Takeru Satoh’s acting is really good as Kenshin with Tatsuya Fujiwara shining as ruthless Shishio. Runtime gets a bit lengthy across films, but the action totally delivers. Watch the whole franchise on a big screen!
Horizon Forbidden West
Games | Action, Sci-Fi
An exquisitely polished sequel that hooks you from its starting moments itself with a big visual leap in the vibrant wilds and even bigger machines! Aloy’s world journey continues and the story expands even more nicely with new places. Truly built for big screen 4K!
Hannibal (2013-2015)
TV Shows | Thriller
A gorgeously twisted visual feast with excellent acting and story! The dreamlike atmosphere is really well-shot. It gets intensely graphic and psychological, but the artistry is really good. Watch it on a good TV!
Godzilla Minus One (2023)
Movies | Action, Drama
What a powerhouse balancing raw human grief with true kaiju dread showing sincerity in much of its choices! And those effects! Godzilla shown as a true beastly horror unlike the American movies. Watch it in 4K with great speakers!
Black Friday (2004)
Movies | Thriller, Drama
A really well-made movie with a raw docu-drama feel and wonderfully realistic performances from everyone. सभी साज़िशकर्ताओं को ध्यान में रखना और पूरी कहानी को लगातार समझना थोड़ा मुश्किल लगता है। लेकिन फिर भी, सबसे बेहतरीन फिल्मों में से एक।
Why Don't You Play in Hell? (2013)
Movies | Comedy
Energetic movie! It is a chaotic mix of yakuza comedy and guerrilla cinema. It has some shock value through violence but many of the scenes are well done!
The Last of Us (2023-running)
TV Shows | Action, Drama
It feels more like a story between two main and a few more characters. When it does want to show itself as a survival series, it feels rushed somehow. But maybe that’s because the other good parts are very well done, with excellent acting!
Spirited Away (2001)
Movies | Anime
Unique!! Gorgeously detailed hand-drawn animation and enchanting atmospheres like the bathhouse world! The bizarre spirit rules and dreamlike logic might feel a bit too much, but every oddity feels meaningful in Chihiro's journey. Definitely watch it with the original Japanese audio!
Pluribus (2025-running)
TV Shows | Drama, Comedy
Vince Gilligan delivers another ride with a great cast shining in fine acting! The eerie concept of a polite takeover is fresh. The pacing starts a bit slow, but the dark comedy pays off.
