Bad Vegan: Would you believe it?

Bad Vegan is one more real crime documentary from Netflix, and I got to tell you: it gets weird.

It is a story about con artists and liars, and it is so elaborated that you almost can’t believe it’s real. So, prepare yourself for some truly bizarre things.

Who is he?

According to Sarma’s story, she fell in love with this man who acted like he was some sort of a special, superior being. He was no human, and he had some kind of mission and, of course, special powers. And, IF she submitted to all his craziness, he would make her dog immortal!

Yes, you read right. That man would make her dog immortal. So, the first question popping into my mind was, “How?” How was it possible for her to believe this? No one is so naive, and I refuse to believe she was that stupid.

Whatever his real name is, that man is a con artist with a gambling problem who found a silly woman. But was she? It’s hard to believe.

While watching the show, you’ll probably say (or think) more than once, “What the…?”

Disturbing

Nonetheless, it wasn't his superior power or the dog's immortality that disturbed me. I’m aware that there are people out there so desperate to be loved, or to have their problems solved, that they would believe in anything. Well, almost… but still.

What was more disturbing in the show were the supposed phone calls he made to her. It can make you feel nervous only by listening to it. He sounds like a psychotic lunatic. He’s scary.

She never seems scared, though. She never seems… anything. She doesn’t seem dumb enough to believe that crap; she doesn’t seem afraid enough to accept it out of fear… who the hell is she?

Is she the victim?

In the end, the question that remains is: was she really a victim? Is she a liar? Is she in denial? Does she really believe what she says? Is it really possible for someone to be brainwashed like that?

It would be interesting if we had the other version of the story: his. However, the documentary shows her point of view. Therefore, it is not impartial at all. In any case, if you want to have a slight idea about how crazy this story is, you must watch it.

Gen V Season 2: From Cameos to Confidence

I wasn’t a huge fan of Gen V ’s first season . For me, it lived more on cameos and ties to The Boys than on its own merits. It often felt like an extended piece of world-building rather than a show that could stand on its own. Season 2, though, feels different. For the first time, Gen V is carving out its own identity. The storylines are more engaging, the stakes feel higher, and it’s not just hanging on the shadow of Homelander or Vought headlines. The Highs and Lows of Performance That said, not everything works. The acting is uneven—some scenes land with the intended emotional weight, but others feel awkward enough that I wondered how they made it past editing. On top of that, the show piles on so much interpersonal drama and mystery that it occasionally slips into Scooby-Doo territory: a gang of young heroes pulling at conspiratorial threads, but without enough grounding to keep every subplot compelling. A Thoughtful Tribute One aspect the show handles beautifull...

Starring Robert De Niro as former U.S. President George Mullen, alongside Angela Bassett , Lizzy Caplan , Jesse Plemons , and Dan Stevens , this six-part miniseries blends conspiracy, paranoia, and deeply human drama into a story that feels both timely and unsettling.

Twists That Keep You Guessing From backroom deals to sudden betrayals, Zero Day is packed with sharp turns.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...
