When I heard that the series is being directed by Raj & DK I knew this will not be a generic show with the same formulaic storyline. Sure, the story is familiar. But oh man! Raj and Dk find some really unexpected ways in which they drive foward the story. You'll be caught off-guard again and again and after a point you'll question everythin, your beliefs, your judgements. Everything. The actors for the most part potray thier charecters beautifully. Kudos to the directors though. They have pulled off something really unique yet familar and common. Please Please Please take note of a 10 minutes one take tracking sequence in a hospital in Episode 6. This is by far one of the best shows I've seen. Period. And those who are claiming it to be propaganda for certain religions, please go watch some bollywood formulaic blockbuster, this is not for you. This is a good show and the source material has been treated with respect.

Had to write a review because people are giving it negative reviews and calling it a feminist propaganda movie. First of all, I'm a guy and I really found most of the movie compelling. The cast does a superb job. Specially Alison Williams. The movie also goes in a very different direction and kudos to the writers and director to make such a different thriller. The only nitpick I have is that the movie has a very weird way of showing flashbacks. I found it annoying. But, the movie is a good netflix thriller.

When I heard that the adaption of the Novel BIRD BOX by Josh Malerman will star Sandra Bullock, I was a bit conflicted with the idea. Sandra is a great actress no doubt in that, but I thought she would not be convincing enough. I saw BIRD BOX yesterday and I can gladly assure you that this is the best performance by her in a long time. Specially a scene where she emotionally breaks down in the end. The director has competently crafted this movie into a taut thriller that will never bore you in its 124 minutes runtime. There are some good old suspenseful moments in there. The best part of this movie apart from Bullock's performance is that it never gets boring or repetitive. There are some time jumps that raise some plot holes and plausibility issues. Also some decisions certain characters take are dumb. The performances all over the board are brilliant though. The children gave good performances too just somethings they did were odd. The pacing was good too. One problem some people might come up with will be regarding the entities or the creatures. It did not bother me much. Overall the movie was entertaining enough for me to like it.
