Read between the sheets: K-drama The Scandal and the power of words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a curious twist, the most sensual scenes in the new A-rated K-drama, The Scandal, turn out to be not the ones with nude bodies, but the ones in which fully-clothed people read letters out loud. The written word is arguably the most scandalous thing in the series, which was released on Netflix last week and marks the return of K-drama superstar Son Ye-jin (Crash Landing on You, No Other Choice) after a gap of four years. Based on the French novel Dangerous Liaisons (1782), the show explores a
Spell check: The film Magic Faraway Tree is gentle balm for our times, says Deepanjana Pal (opens the original)

Of late, Instagram has suffused my timeline with clips of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman talking about Practical Magic 2. The two lead actors seem as surprised as the rest of us that there’s a sequel to their 1998 film about a family of witches. Practical Magic (based on Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel of the same name) starred heroines rather than heroes, and wasn’t afraid to explore grief and trauma within a romantic comedy. It also had a climax that culminated in 12 women sweeping a house clean.
Burn after watching: Deepanjana Pal writes on the streaming show Furious (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been looking forward to Mondays of late. The blame for this unnatural behaviour falls on the terrific crime series Furious. Until this series, which drops new episodes every Monday, writer and producer Elizabeth Meriwether was best known for the sweetly comedic sitcom New Girl (2011-18). Her most recent credit was the witty and heart-breaking Dying for Sex (2025), in which Michelle Williams plays a terminally ill cancer patient on a quest for an orgasm. Nothing in Meriwether’s roster prepar
Hollywood is storming the Indian box office, setting new records (opens the original)

Considering that he’s a scrappy kid from a decidedly unglamorous part of New York City, Spider-Man has no business being so popular in India, a land of over-the-top heroes such as Dhurandhar. The masked superhero is the quintessential little guy. He lives in Queens, is not rich, has no flashy gadgets. Even after an upgrade of some cutting-edge technology, his uniform looks like a onesie topped off with a homemade mask. To quote Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, “This is
Seeing red: Deepanjana Pal writes on the Soviet-era space-race show Star City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the Soviet Union had won the space race in 1969? This is the premise of the streaming series For All Mankind (2019-), in which creators Ronald D Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi imagine an alternate history in which America is forced to play catch-up after Soviet Russia becomes the first country to send a man to the moon. Over five seasons, the series has established itself as one of the best science-fiction shows on streaming. So it’s surprising that the spin-off, Star City, belongs t
