Well, it's official — I'm among the few who just couldn't get into this series. Throughout this episode, I was constantly checking the time, wondering why twenty-eight minutes felt like an eternity. Martha looked terrible, but she still can't compare to Annie Wilkes. The real deal-breaker for me was Donny/Tony, though, who continued to act like a total idiot. Watching these two was just painful, so I'm throwing in the towel after episode two. / Lesson learned: A moron will always be a moron.

Judging by most of the reviews, it seems like I might be the odd one out, but the pilot episode didn't quite hit the mark for me.  It left me feeling rather underwhelmed, so I was relieved when it finally wrapped up. I struggled to fully engage with the story, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things take an unexpected turn and don't veer into pet-cooking territory. / Lesson learned: When dealing with unwanted romantic attention, choose your words very, very carefully.

I'm not usually one for musicals or movies heavy on music, and India has never been my cup of tea. So, on paper, this film shouldn't have been my thing at all. But surprise, surprise — I actually enjoyed it! Quite a bit, in fact. The singer's life story intrigued me and once again reinforced my belief that fanatics of any kind are a toxic presence that society could do without. Plus, I even liked the quirky 80's Indian pop.
