    Nine Perfect Strangers
    Nine Perfect Strangers (Amazon Prime Video): After reading the book I was very excited when this show was released. The American drama streaming television miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers is based on Lianne Moriarty’s 2018 novel of the same name. Nine strangers from the city are brought together for a ten-day vacation at Tranquillum House, a health and wellness resort in the fictional town of Cabrillo, California. This retreat promises to transform and heal its visitors. However, the resort is not what it appears to be, and the visitors are going to learn a lot about each other as well as Masha, the facility’s owner. Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video

    Kate
    Kate (Netflix): Just when assassin Kate is about to walk away from her life of blood and gore, she is fatally poisoned. She spends the next few days finding out who did it and getting revenge.

    The Circle
    The Circle (Netflix): This reality TV show where players can interact through chats but cannot meet is so bad that it’s good. There’s a whole lot of strange personalities, catfishes and twists with each episode, so keep the popcorn handy for it is DRAMA time. Image Credit: Netflix

    Friendship (cinemas): We all know that Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh can bowl you over with his sporting prowess, but are you curious to know if he’s equally lethal as an actor? You can find out this Thursday as his sports comedy ‘Friendship’ in Tamil releases. It’s his acting debut and also features actors Arjun, Losliya Mariyanesan, and Sathish in crucial roles. The film is being peddled as a full-on entertainer filled with comedy, drama, and romance. Image Credit: IMDb

    SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE 4-1631699012947
    Scenes From A Marriage (OSN): The five-part limited series from HBO reimagines Ingrid Bergman’s classic series for modern times and the first episode is now available to stream in the UAE. ‘Scenes From a Marriage’ follows Mira (Jessica Chastain), a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac), an accommodating, hyper-intellectual philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact.

    On The Verge (Netflix): French actress, screenwriter and director Julie Delpy (‘Before Midnight’) is behind this new Netflix series about the intertwined lives of four 40-somethings who are all mothers. A chef, an anxious job seeker, an heiress and a single mum dig into love and work, with a generous side of midlife crises, in pre-pandemic Los Angeles. Expect a healthy dose of reality and lots of laughs. Image Credit: Netflix

    The Card Counter (Cinemas): The revenge thriller from director Paul Schrader tells the story of an ex-military interrogator turned gambler (played by Oscar Isaac) haunted by the ghosts of his past.
