WHAT TO BINGE-WATCH:
Daredevil: Season 3
The devil of Hell's kitchen, last seen under a collapsing building in The Defenders, is back. He is unlike you've ever seen him: Broken and faithless. The season walks us through Matt's recuperation and his subsequent return to his full strength. Kingpin, in the meantime, hasn't lain idle. Cleverly duping the FBI into thinking he was helping them, he gets himself out of prison and into house-incarceration. FBI Special Agent Poindexter is quickly recruited by Kingpin, who utilises some of Poindexter's unique talent to pass him off as Daredevil. As Daredevil, Poindexter proceeds to commit murder and theft. The town soon turns against Daredevil, and Wilson Fisk convinces the world that he was indeed innocent. Vanessa returns, and Fisk marries her in a grand ceremony that ends in perhaps the finest superhero punch-up on TV in recent times.
WHAT TO WATCH:
Man from U.N.C.L.E
A movie that uses the tried and tested formula of U.S – U.S.S.R rivalry , but refreshingly, a light hearted take on it. Henry Cavill plays well the role of a swash-buckling womanizing spy of sorts , for the United States , whereas Arnie Hammer portrays a solemn and rigid Soviet.
The movie is humorous at parts, in exploring the dynamics between the premier spies of the world powers , but the attempts to make the audience laugh get more desperate towards the end. Alicia Vikander appears to be just for eye-candy , but she she turns out to be a femme fatale right before the end.
To summarise , it’s a fun spin on a James Bond-ish plot definitely give a watch , Cavill’s swagger steals the thunder.
WHAT TO READ:
Flatland
One of the most unique books you will ever come across, Flatland is a masterpiece of science fiction, and is delightfully entertaining. Originally meant as a satire on the hierarchy of Victorian Culture, it is now renowned for its contribution to the examination of spatial dimensions.
The story describes the journey of a square, a resident of a two-dimensional world, Flatland. In this world, the women are straight lines while the men may be polygons having any number of sides, which ultimately determines their social status.The narration begins with the square providing details of life in Flatland, simultaneously serving as a very good satire on Victorian society, caste system and gender inequality.
Ultimately, this is a book about opening up our mind to the enormous range of possibilities, and not just living our lives mentally trapped in a finite number of dimensions.
Edwin Abott's lovely parable is a mind-expanding work if you read it that way.
