Lucifer assimilates the Biblical stories of Lucifer, the devil, God, and angelic creatures into the fantastic concept that runs as the backbone of the plot-line. Along with Detective Chloe Decker, of the LAPD, Lucifer unearths mysteries that revolve around the homicidal cases that are run by the police department. The pair solves crimes, bonds over the investigations and get attached to each other. The central plot revolves around the rules of the earthlings and the celestial. Overall, it's a great show if someone is looking for some suspense, romance and light-hearted comedy. The characters, especially, Lucifer and Mazikeen have shown tremendous development over the seasons. The entire cast give out amazing performances and seem to fit the role perfectly.

A well-deserved win for the behemoth of a movie. So many undertones are explored and subtly depicted through the runtime of the movie. If foreign language films are anything like this movie, it is bound to have more nominations from across the world for the Academy's best picture award. The movie fantastically talks about social stratification and class-divide and how struggle and entitlement eats up the humanity inside.The genius screenplay and plot-line is accompanied by artistic sense of cinematography and an incredible score. The ensemble cast have shown ingenuity in playing the characters. The one question that remains even after the end of the movie is who is the "Parasite" or is just the concept of hope for a Utopian world and fulfillment of all desires or simply our "real" society. Its a must-watch! The use of architecture, design, imagery and visual composition is magnificent. The daylight shows the better, a more hopeful and upper echelon way of life whereas the dungeons like basements and semi basements show how life feels trapped, difficult and how it "stinks" of poverty. Bong Joon Ho has masterfully drawn parallels and intersections between the two kinds of life and the chosen way to represent them, from an architectural stand point, says volumes. The camerawork is exquisite in depicting serious situations which have greater impact on the whole story. The parts to whole and whole to parts sequencing of shots brings to each scene a sense of completeness, yet a mystery that continues onto the next.

From the point of game-play, athleticism, socializing and strategic planning, as well as conceptualization, gaming dynamics to filming and editing, Survivor has been the greatest show of all time. It puts different people from different walks of life, all having different strengths and weaknesses up on an equal pedestal. It always has you rooting for people like no one show, the strategic portion of the game is crazy and far exceeds any possible prediction. And the locations for filming have always been a treat to the eyes and kudos to the editing team for always keeping the suspense alive. I hope this show continues on into eternity.
