I.Movie-Hancock
Hancock is a superhero whose ill-considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.

II. Series-Perfect Match
It is a strategic dating competition that features famously single stars who come to a tropical paradise to find love.
“I just like to live vicariously through those reality tv “stars”. They have so much drama that I would not want for myself, but I like to experience it through them😂.”
III. Animation- Inside Job
For employees of the Deep State, conspiracies aren’t just theories, they’re facts. And keeping them a secret is a full-time job.
“I like the conspiracy theories and the subtle jokes sprinkled all around the show.”

I.Movie- The Strays

The Real Housewives of Nairobi will follow five dynamic women as they navigate their lavish lifestyles, relationships, and careers in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. These women include Susan Kaittany, Vera Sidika, Sonal Maherali, Minne Kariuki, and Lisa Christoffersen.
“Not yet watched it but the drama that is going down on Twitter is giving”
The next set of recommendations is from our current face of TikTok, Duncanzz with multiple zzz:

It follows the lives of three women in Nairobi as they go through the difficulties of marriage, relationships, and careers.

Now finally, recommendations from yours truly, self-proclaimed “Most Underrated Tweep“.
I. Movie- The Platform

II. Series- Explained
News site Vox is behind this series that puts the spotlight on topical issues that impact people’s lives. The docu-series. which features episodes that generally range from 15 to 20 minutes in length, aims to dig deeper into topics, questions, and ideas that aren’t often part of the daily news.
“The title speaks for itself”
Enjoy Your Weekend!
Gangs of London is one of the best shows that few people are aware of, and I stumbled upon it. The first season of geometry dash was amazing. The twist in the second season finale was also fantastic.
