David Fincher has given us some of the most amazing pieces of cinema in the past like ‘Seven’, ‘Fight Club’, ‘Zodiac’, and ‘Gone Girl’. Add another title to his name....

TLC’s ‘90 Day Fiance‘ is an interesting reality TV show that offers us a sneak peek into the lives of US citizens engaged to foreign nationals. These foreign partners set foot on US soil on a K-1 visa which allows them a period of 90 days within which they have to get married or face deportation.

Investigation Discovery’s ‘The Beatrice Six’ looks into the decades-long saga of Helen Wilson’s murder in Beatrice, Nebraska. She was found dead in her apartment in February 1985, but initially, the case went cold.

From the first episode, death becomes its constant theme, and the use of magic keys makes it all the more imminent for anyone involved with them....

If there’s one thing Hulu’s ‘Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons’ makes clear in its attempt to shine a light upon the dark side of the lingerie brand, it’s that the higher-ups failed the organization. After all, it details the way everything from owner Les Wexley’s association with Jeffrey Epstein to executive Edward “Ed” Razek’s seemingly sex-driven ideals gave route to a toxic environment. The fact the latter worked closely with Harvey Weinstein for a short while around the 2000s now appears strange as well, no matter how well-qualified or experienced they both were at the time....
