Sex education - Real, witty and tempting series

Directed by: Kate Herron, Ben Taylor Cast: Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells Language: English Year: 2019 Genre: comedy, drama Created by: Laurie Nunn Synopsis  Socially awkward teenager Otis Milburn is ambivalent about sex, despite his mother being a sex therapist who is frank about all aspects of sexuality. After inadvertently assisting the school bully with his sexual performance anxiety, Otis sets up a sex advice business with Maeve - a confident but vulnerable classmate - to educate their fellow students in how to deal with their own sexual problems. My view  Sex education is sweet and funny. Moreover, it's a vivid teenage series which do care about its wise characters. The story stretches with an awkward embarrassed teenager Otis Milburn who struggle with his divorced mother's occupation (a sex therapist) and her influence on his personal life. Otis accompanies with Eric Effiong brill

One night in Rameswaram

So we are standing in Madurai railway station. It's too hot and the station's crowded. We had reached Madurai earlier in the morning. We went to Meenakshi temple and then some big palace where the walls were all scrambled with names of couples all over from Tamil Nadu. (Senthil love Lakshmi, like that like that) Now we're in kind of a borderline situation because we're unable to decide whether we should go to Rameswaram or head back to Kollam. The temperature and the lack of charging slots inside the railway station had kinda led our mood down. And also we didn't have a ticket so it was technically ’illegal’ for us to just sit there.

Some take time, whereas some people spend their whole lives looking for it and finally die living a miserable, tedious life. It's okay to not have a ”thing”. It's okay to live and die infamous. It's okay to live an ordinary life. What you have to realize is that a vast part of your life is going to be boring and not so “cool”. And that’s okay too. But remember this, always try to live in the moment. If you are working, work 100%. If you are chilling, chill 100%. Whatever you do make sure you make it worth y

Part six of endless scribbling

There he was lying idle on his bed All wound up He, who chose words over herbs to get high His eyes were dilated His face was bloodless There were wires instead of tubes Earbuds instead of needles And by some miracle Music got through to his heart Of all he knew, This was, no doubt, the end.

La Casa De Papel

Directed by : Jesus Colmenar, Alex Rodrigo, Alejandro Bazzano, Miguel Ángel Vivas, Javier Quintas Language: Spanish Year: 2017 Genre: Crime drama, thriller, heist Created by: Álex Pina Release : Antenna 3 (2017)                   Netflix (2018-) Synopsis A criminal mastermind who goes by the name ”The Professor” has a plan to pull off the biggest heist in recorded history -- to print billions of euros in the royal mint of Spain.

The group of thieves takes hostages to aid in their negotiations with the authorities, who strategize to come up with a way to capture The Professor. As more time elapses, the robbers prepare for a showdown with the police. My view 'La casa de papel' (paper house) is a Spanish heist thriller, in other words it could be described as an incredibly tense and outstanding piece of entertainment. Every
