Why is no one discussing Leader’s brutal take on revolution?

Hashtag Review: Glam, Grit, and a Mystery That Falls Flat

Two influencers. One deadly party. Zero surprises. Geo TV’s four-part mini-series Hashtag had all the makings of a viral hit—influencer drama, a shady party, and a murder mystery. Hashtag could have been a fast-paced thriller for the Instagram era, but despite its many strengths, it left me wanting more. The...

Shakoor's rise to anti-hero in Faraar

With an overabundance of characters with their own convoluted backstories Faraar has plenty of action. This week was led by one unexpected character though: Shakoor.

All the Things That Ruined Dil Wali Gali Mein

Hum TV’s Dil Wali Gali Mein, starring Sajal Ali and Hamza Sohail, had all the makings of something special. It was a slice-of-life story about real characters navigating believable struggles. At least, that’s what it should have been. Mujji and Deeju, two people madly in love, try to get married...

How Daayan Exposes the Power of Internalized Misogyny

I didn’t expect Daayan to be this gripping. On the surface, it’s just another family drama—wealthy feuding relatives, betrayals, forbidden love. But ten episodes in, it’s about misogyny and how women can become its most ruthless enforcers. From the very beginning, the show establishes a world where female...

Faraar: Where Do You Run When No Place Is Safe?

The latest episode of Faraar, Green TV’s crime drama, delivered a masterclass in chaos, cringe, and questionable decision-making. From brain-numbing choices to dramatic showdowns, this episode had it all—whether we wanted it or not. A Facepalm-Worthy Showdown Faraz (Haroon Shahid) once again proved he...

Agar Tum Saath Ho: A Love Triangle Done Right

Three episodes in, Agar Tum Saath Ho (Hum TV) has already given us a classic love triangle with a side of Iago-level manipulation.

The Great Shift is Not a Compliment – We’re Not Your Aesthetic

I scroll through TikTok, and there it is—another video captioned “The Great Indian Shift.” Yesterday, we were the punchline of “curry” jokes. Today, we’re trending. But as a Pakistani woman, I see through the façade. Demure, well-read, and beautiful—has the world turned into a rishta-wali...

Pakistan’s First Squash Drama: Does Sitaron Se Agay Score or Miss?

In a television landscape dominated by family sagas and romance, Sitaron Se Agay immediately stands out as fresh and intriguing.

If These Reality Shows Came to Pakistan, We’d Never Stop Watching

Let’s be real: Pakistani reality TV is kinda dead. Yeah, we’ve had some singing and talent shows here and there, but nothing that truly hits. Meanwhile, Shark Tank Pakistan pulled insane engagement because it was fresh, relatable, and actually useful (plus, we all love a good “main paisay double karunga”...
