Patriot Act: Excellent stuff. Hassan Minhaj is great. Manages to mix outrage with comedy and intelligent commentary. Have watched some episodes more than once, the ultimate test 5 *
Thackeray: Excellent. I always dig these inside stories of great people or famous people to see how they tick. This one makes the cut. Portrays him well with his extremes, sympathetic but not fawning 5 *
Happy: Quite bizarre but watchable/memorable. Acquired taste. Piles on the violence but in way that you can't take it seriously. 4 *
The Good Place: Uneven. First season was great, and after that struggled to keep the premise going. 4 *
Always Be My Maybe: Watchable 3 *
Luke Cage: Stopped watching after a few episodes which is the ultimate disqualifier . Not enough meat in the story to keep you watching; 2 *
What / If : Inexecrable. Couldn't make it past the first episode. 1 *
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast): Couldn't make it past the first episode 1 *
Traitors: Ditto. Seemed promising but didn't pan out. Oh well 1 *
Cuckoo: Nice premise, and couple of high points but I stopped after the 2nd episode 1 *
Osmosis: 1 *

Comedians of the World: One or two watchable ones, but overall pretty painful stuff. Try Shirley Suagnon or Aditi Mittal. The Indian guys are pretty bad. Even the US guys are pretty bad. I guess with all the glut of good comedy on the web now, the standards are too high. I must say nobody really gets comedy (atleast standup) the way the best guys in the US do. 2 *
Shaft: Watched the one with the son Shaft Jr. in it. Pretty mediocre stuff. Usual violence 2 *Luke Cage: Stopped watching after a few episodes which is the ultimate disqualifier . Not enough meat in the story to keep you watching; 2 *
