    16. Maid | Popular Destination

    We follow the story of Alex, a young mother fleeing her own home with her daughter Maddy, in the quiet of the night. There is no time to settle in, even though she isn’t doing anything wrong it seems like Alex is on the run. Why this pilot works so well is it takes us into Alex’s mind, it shows her what she is going through and it all seems so tough that your heart is always in your mouth.

    15. Money Heist | Popular Destination

    The professor, who is the mastermind behind this heist brings together a team of 8 people, people with very little to lose…the first hook to get the viewer interested - a lot must have happened with a person who is left with very little to lose and we want to know these stories. We are introduced to these characters - there’s a calm father - hothead son duo, the likable geek, the serious leader, the quirky wild girl, two men whose answer to everything is force. The professor sets two rules for them -no personal relationships and no bloodshed - they foreshadow exactly what’s going to happen. Title: Episode 1 -Efectuar lo acordado Year: 2017 Director:  Jesús Colmenar(Ep 1) Created by: Álex Pina Cinematographer: Migue Amoedo Producer: Álex Pina, Sonia Martínez Writer/Screenplay: Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato (Ep 1) Cast:  Úrsula Corberó, Álvaro Morte, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Paco Tous, Alba Flores, Miguel Herrán, Jaime Lorente and others Genre: Crime drama Watched by  - 65 Million+ accounts

    14. Lupin | Popular Destination

    The conman of the pages leaps to the screen and we get Assane Diop following the footsteps of Arsene Lupin. Disclaimer: I call both of them Lupin, distinguished by a poorly attempted French accent when speaking of the one from the book and the normal Indian English accent when speaking of the series character. The Netflix series Lupin isn’t a direct adaptation of the book but heavily inspired by it, it’s kind of meta, the series inspired by Arsene Lupin has a protagonist heavily inspired by Arsene Lupin…so the plot and the protagonist's actions take inspiration form the legendary character. Title: Chapter 1 - Le Collier de la reine Year: 2021 Director: Louis Leterrier (Ep 1) Created by: George Kay and François Uzan Cinematographer: Homayun Payvar Producer: Film Monster by JTBC Studios; Kim Jong-hak Production Adpted from:  Arsène Lupin by Maurice Leblanc Writer/Screenplay: George Kay (Ep 1) Cast:  Omar Sy, Ludivine Sagnier, Clotilde Hesme, Vincent Londez, Soufiane Guerrab, Shirine Boutella Genre: Mystery, Thriller Hours watched - 316.8 million+

    I watched something that is our childhood fantasies brewed out of boredom in geography class. Remember in the last episode I said this one onward we are going on a new trip: it is called around the world in 8mm - popular destination edition, I know that’s an unnecessarily long name but the original name of the podcast isn’t the haiku of names either.
