Mr Robot is legit one of the most cerebral shows I've seen. The hacking scenes? Zero plot holes, they actually make sense. You can tell the writers did their homework. CGI is minimal but effective, not flashy like some Bollywood crap trying to flex vfx budget. Elliot's internal monologues are peak writing, dark, raw, and painfully logical. The whole surveillance capitalism theme hits different in 2024. The only reason it's not a 5 is that season 3 went a bit off the rails with the fsociety nonsense. Still, top tier for a tech bro like me. not mid at all.

Dark is the only sci-fi show that doesn't treat time travel like magic. Finally, a show with actual logic. The script is airtight, every character decision makes sense in the causal loop. no plot holes, just pure deterministic chaos. The German aesthetic adds to the grim tone, no flashy CGI nonsense. They use practical effects where possible, and the visuals are clean but not overdone. This is how you do high-concept on a tv budget. Most indian sci-fi shows look like bhoot police compared to this. three seasons, zero filler. not mid, not even peak tv, this is next level. If you like your narratives dark and tight, this one's a no-brainer.

Look, Interstellar is not even close to perfect. Plot hole as big as a black hole, like how the hell does cooper just float into murph's room at the end? Tesseract logic made zero sense, felt like lazy writing wrapped in "quantum" buzzwords. but okay, i’ll give it to nolan, the visuals? top 1% cinema. black hole physics based on kip thorne’s work? massive respect. Hans Zimmer’s score hits different when you're coding at 3am. still, the emotional beats felt forced, like nolan was trying too hard to make us cry. overall, not mid. 4.5, only because ending broke my brain with zero payoff.

Look, bro, I get it, Dhanush is trying, Kriti is doing her thing, Rahman's BGM hits that desi emotional nerve. But seriously, what even was the second half? it's like the scriptwriter left after interval and some intern took over with a 'make it epic' brief. from grounded pilot drama to full on spiritual soap opera? zero logic. plot hole se bada hai climax. 164 minutes of pain with 20 minutes of decent content. cgi in the airforce scenes is mid at best, like 2012 level vfx. and don't get me started on the liver twist - that's just lazy writing. love ka redemption arc? bhai, this isn't raanjhanaa 2.0, it's a cash grab. Performances save it from being a total disaster, but still, not worth the ticket. skip unless you're vibing with your gf and need tissue packs.

Look the cgi is decent, especially the night ops and drone surveillance shots — you can see the budget was spent smart. But bro, 214 minutes? Who asked for this? Hamza goes full joker mode in lyari, fine, okay, suspension of disbelief, but then they drag in random political commentary like it's a rajniti lecture. akshaye khanna is solid, no cap, but ranveer's 'undercover' act feels like method acting gone wrong. half the time i couldn't tell if he was infiltrating terrorists or auditioning for kumbh mela. action sequences? raw, sure, but half of them are just torture with bgm. and don't get me started on the songs, bro, we're in a spy thriller, not a dholak night at gurgaon pub. logic kahan gaya? nahi pata, but it bailed mid-first act. overall, it's mid. high concept? tried. execution? half-baked. desi patriot dhadkan ke liye 4 stars, but as a techie who values clean and tighter scripts? 3/5.
