Mirzapur – Season 2

Release date: Early-2023

Akhandanand Tripathy, a.k.a. Kaleen Bhaiya, runs a carpet business, which is a cover for his business of producing guns. He’s a cunning, power-hungry man and the uncrowned king of Mirzapur. His son is an irresponsible, unworthy, yet overeager heir who wants nothing more than to inherit his father’s business and power. 

Due to an unprecedented incident at a wedding procession, he crosses paths with Ramakant Pandit, a respected lawyer, and his two sons, Guddu and Bablu. Thus started a game of greed, power, and ambition, which is bound to create chaos in the lawless city of Mirzapur.

Hunters – Season 2

Release date: January 13th, 2023

If you want an intense watch to start the new year on the right foot, stream seasons 1 and 2 of Hunters. This crime drama thriller will give you the chills while you simultaneously fawn over Logan Lerman as Jonah Heidelbaum, the lead character. 

The characters draw motivation from several Nazi hunter groups throughout the years but do not accurately represent any of them. In New York City, 1977, a Nazi hunters’ band found out several escaped Nazi officers were planning a Fourth Reich in New York City. They do everything they can to stop them, hence the moral dilemma of being bad to fight evil.

There’s a parallel plot alongside the hunters featuring the discovery of Operation Paperclip, an operation run by the U.S. Government to relocate German scientists to the States. Some of these scientists are also Nazis, so you can guess where the problem lies.

The fae has fled their war-torn, wasted homeland and immigrated into the city, barely passing off as citizens. Unsolved murder investigations, the madness of power and influence, and unresolved love are some themes explored in the show.
