Where do we draw the line for love?

Is there a line one should never cross when matters of the heart are involved?

How do we love sanely and yet protectively?

How much power does our childhood,.our upbringing have on us?


These questions and more are sure to cross your mind once you lay your eyes on this Netflix original series titled- YOU.

The second season had its release date on the 26th December 2019 and has garnered positive reviews ever since.


At first glance at the title, you just know the series is supposed to be about romance,right? No.

It IS about romance but not the NoteBook type, it's a whole different ball game.

                


It surrounds the life of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a bookstore manager who lives in his books and lacks a social life. He perceives his decisions and actions as full of love and right and noble. He analyzes, predicts, investigates, stalks. He takes measures, and can practically do anything  because of YOU. He can be said to be part sociopath and psychopath because deep down, as crazy as his measures are, he actually feels he is a good man.

    

                         


In the course of his life, he falls in love thrice or so he thought. First was Candice (Ambyr Childers ), then  Beck (Elizabeth Lail) and then Love Quinn ( Victoria Pedretti ).

With each lady, the price for love was costly, family, friends and even their lives were at stake,all for love.

The entanglements in between complicated some cases even more,.but Joe never stopped.

Fate or Karma definitely had it out for Joe and he was blessed or cursed with someone who adored him and could also do anything for him,absolutely anything at all.

Whether in New York or Los Angeles,Joe Goldberg never fails to make sacrifices.


With two seasons out, and a rumoured third season, this is definitely a must see. It touches on upbringing and its effect on how we turn out, as we glimpse into the childhood of Joe

There are lines that should never be crossed in the course of love. No matter how just we think it is or how our munds twist it morally. some lines should not be crossed. Ever!.

Movie Review: Death On The Nile

What a movie! I'm a stickler for investigative crime movies: Knives Out, Sherlock Holmes, Upper Room Fixer series, Enola Homes, etc. Trying to solve the crime with the detective as his mind wanders through a  plethora of unusual suspects is just amazing to me and so you can understand why Death On The Nile was so intriguing. Movie Plot Detective Hercule Poirot (This surname needs some work) is back with murder within a murder within a murder within two more murders. While on a visit to Egypt, Poirot uncovers his greatest murder ever as a newlywed couple battles the envious eyes of friends and foe. Okay, so that happened. The movie uses an hour to drive us through what Poirot already tagged as acts 1, 2 and 3. We get to see Linnet shine and fall in love with her friend's man. Linnet First off, this was really low for Linnet. Come on already. Men are surplus and in quanta. She could have been with the doctor or found another one, but she opted for her friend's man.  Why woul

Movie Review: The Adam Project

"Oh, that's funny. It farts when I laugh." I just can't.😂🤣🤣 Halo. Another movie review here. We'll be looking at The Adam Project. Movie Review A pilot goes back in time to search for his missing wife in so doing enlists the help of his younger self and his late father. From the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would laugh my ass out. Ryan Reynolds has decided to just feature in any movie he absolutely feels like. Storyline Let's start with the not-so spectacular part of this movie. The storyline wasn't excitingly crazy. It was there. Just there. Time travel with a blend of romance missions, messing with the timeline, embracing loss, and a happy beginning at the end. That pretty much sums it up. The good part is that it was grand. The action, the shooting, the comedy. Acts Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds and there's no changing him. The way he talks and laughs and just includes those ridiculous lines always has me in a g
