If you’ve ever spoken to me about TV shows, you might’ve heard me rave about this show. This brainchild of Johnathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan’s brother, explores the complexities of an AI that can predict events before they happen. An ex-CIA agent teams up with a reclusive billionaire to use this machine and stop crime. The first season, although sloppy and repetitive, gives an important backstory behind the characters and the machine itself. Season 2 delivers stunning dramatic episodes to develop the show’s main plot. Season 3 builds up a huge story arc, with a nice blend of humour and action. Season 4 has some of the best writing I’ve ever seen in a show, and season 5 concludes the story, deepening the characters you’ll come to know and love. Person of Interest successfully gives us a story about the dangers of technology, a problem that is becoming seemingly relevant. Each and every character has been so well-weaved, and the plot is so detailed, that it makes for a good rewatch. The writing in this show is so perfect. Dialogue is great, and every moment in this show is important, as it leads to something that can change the course of the show. Person Of Interest doesn't try to grab and keep your attention. It requires it. But if you give it your attention, it will reward you. And that is what I love about this series so much. Person of Interest not only provides good entertainment, but also warns us of the dangers of the AI if we let it take over us.

Black ice is the biggest drug in the black markets of LA. When a narcotics cop is shot dead in a motel, police say it’s a suicide(just like the first book). When rumours arise that the cop was selling the drugs, Bosch sets out on a mystery that will leave him tongue tied. I liked this book more than Black Echo, because the writing is better, and the plot twist was way more mind boggling. Bosch’s tenacity is wonderfully described, because once he sets his sights on a case, he won’t take his eyes off unless he solves it. My major issue with the book is Bosch’s love interests. He is attracted to almost every woman he meets. Three days into the case, and the man is already sleeping with the dead cop’s wife. But hey, that’s just a minor complaint and it does bring this wonderful book down. Look like I’ll be reading every Harry Bosch book there is.

The Black Ice

Harry Bosch is a loner cop. He’s brilliant at what he does, but it’s his ruthless nature that makes him likeable by the readers, but not so much by the cops in his precinct. Set in the 1990’s, where pagers were still a thing, Bosch investigates the murder of Vietnam tunnel rat Billy Meadows, who was friends with Bosch during the war. Police rule it out as a suicide, but Bosch finds something’s wrong and works on a case, that leaves him wondering who the murderer is. As Internal Affairs suspect him, and as Bosch grows closer to FBI agent Eleanor Wish, he is on the mission to uncover the web of deceit, and bring justice to a man Bosch believes he’s let down before. As Michael Connely’s first novel, I give it the full five stars, though there are flaws that I find. The writing is a little plain at times, and Bosch is a little too rude. I know that’s who he is, but I find that he’s shouting at people who haven’t done anything to him. But it is a joy to see him outsmart the two IA detectives, who are tailing him. All in all, Black Echo is a joy to read and is a great book to star with in the Harry Bosch series

Easily the best of the Arkham games, and probably the best superhero game(tied with Spiderman ps4, which is also amazing). Graphics are smooth and the soundtrack truly gives me goosebumps for its grittiness. The story is a different take on the characters, with Batman finding himself to team up with villains. Explicit language and the graphics make this game unplayable for kids without adult supervision. Gameplay is the best part(obviously). Batman has a repertoir of moves to choose from and stealth mode is amazing, Detective mode was a bit annoying at first, but then i got used to it towards the end. Boss fights are not too tough but creative and feels rewarding after defeating each boss. Batman Arkham City, despite it's flaws, is a fantastic game and cleaves to the core of gaming.

It's alright. Let me begin with the pros. The game' soundtrack is amazing and the levels look jawdropping. The game runs smoothly on PC. Now, the cons. The physics of this game are terrible, Level design is lazy and story tries to be dark and gritty, but ends up being this story with terrible dialogues. I must say that voice acting was on point. People will spend hours on making a good avatar, only to find out that new skins are only cosmetic, and have no special abilities. I think little kids will have a blast, but for loyal fans of the series, Sonic Forces is a game that is 'Meh!'
