No Good Deed season 1 (English)

Created by Liz Feldman, this dark comedy series stars Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, Luke Wilson, Linda Cardellini, and others. It follows the chaotic lives of several families, each determined to claim ownership of the same dream home, sparking a whirlwind of schemes and secrets.

Lithuanian filmmaker Saulė Bliuvaitė’s “Toxic” took home the best film award at the 55th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa. The jury, headed by Indian director Ashutosh Gowariker, recognized the film for its portrayal of adolescence and economic hardship.

Previously, at Locarno, “Toxic” won not only the Golden Leopard for Best Film in the fest’s premier International Competition — from a jury chaired by Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner — but also, in an unusual double, the top prize in the separately juried First Feature Competition.

Variety‘s positive review of “Toxic” described the film as “sobering but not without glimmers of tenderness and humor as female friendship takes root in a hopeless place,” adding that its “alternation between chilly composure and kinetic movement roughly corresponds with [the protagonist’s] wavering sense of self.”

Romanian director Bogdan Muresanu nabbed the best director prize for “The New Year That Never Came,” a multi-narrative feature set during a revolution.

The web series format has become an international phenomenon, and one country where it has taken hold is India. No series better exemplifies the influence American shows have on South Asian creators than Casting Couch With Amey & Nipun, a dry comedy that plays out like a semi-scripted version of the Zach Galifianakis web series Between Two Ferns.

The stars of Casting Couch are Amey Wagh and Nipun Dharmadhikari, a pair of actors who portray fictionalized versions of themselves. The premise for the show is simple: Wagh and Dharmadhikari bring in Indian celebrities to audition for a film, but the celebrities believe the proceedings to be a mere interview. What follows is Between Two Ferns-style awkwardness, with plenty of deadpan jokes aimed at all present characters.

Here’s the first episode, which features Bollywood actress Radhika Apte. Casting Couch is in Hindi with English subtitles:
