Bhubaneswar: The weekend is here and it’s time for binge-watching. From a courtroom drama to a sci-fi thriller, take your pick this Sunday.

Guilty Minds

Kashaf Quaze (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Deepak Rana (Varun Mitra), two young lawyers with opposing virtues, face off in this courtroom drama. Kashaf is an epitome of virtue while Deepak looks at things in shades of grey. The series, which has opened to critical reviews, revolves around controversial yet contemporary cases.

Streaming: Amazon Prime Video

Tokyo Vice

HBO’s Tokyo Vice is one of the most promising TV shows you could watch. Jade Adelstein, an American, cracks one of the toughest interviews at a top Japanese news daily for the job of a crime reporter because of his eagerness to understand the dark underbelly of Tokyo. It is one of the very few American TV series to base its storyline in another country. Ansel Elgort does a good job of playing a struggling journalist trying to fit in a different culture.

Streaming: Lionsgate Play

Mai

Sheel Chaudhary’s daughter dies in an accident, but later Sheel (played by Sakshi Tanwar) realises that her daughter’s death was part of a planned conspiracy and seeks revenge. The series also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Vivek Mushran, Raima Sen and Prashant Narayanan. It’s not a conventional thriller story but Sakshi’s fight for justice is portrayed in a very humane way.

Streaming: Netflix

The Dropout

It is based on the true story of Elizabeth Holmes, a Stanford University dropout who founded tech med company Theranos in 2014. With only a few drops of blood, Theranos said its Edison test could detect conditions such as cancer and diabetes quickly. Withing a year, she was exposed as a fake.

The eight-part series makes you realise that all innovations coming out of Silicon Valley are not essentially great and that every place has got its scamster. Amanda Seyfried plays the role of Holmes.

Streaming: Disney+Hotstar

Severance

This is easily the best TV series of the year so far, not because of its cutting-edge sci-fi narrative but of the themes it projects such as workers’ rights, corporate policies and weaponisation of data in this digital age. It follows the story of office worker Mark Scout and his colleagues who work for a biotech company called Lumon Industries. They have chips implanted in their brains that separate their personal and professional consciousnesses.
