Definitely a very fun and engaging show. I binge-watched and I can't wait for season 2. Obviously, there isn't anything too complex or new with the concept of this show, but it's just well-directed and fun to watch. I enjoyed the character development and everyone truly acted really well. I was hoping for a bit more from Shabana Azmi's character - I think the power she feels she has to dominate the market and protect the family & business is far greater at times than what it ends up being. I want to see more from her character. This show is like a bit of breaking bad, Ozark and good girls combined - but in all fairness how else would you make a show engaging. There will always be similarities to other shows. I'd watch season 2 for sure. Great job!

Had the opportunity to see this at the world premiere in Toronto (TIFF13) - the film completely surprised me and surpassed my expectations. It's a very character driven film with real-life day-to-day complexities, but the director manages to add plenty of humour in the film to keep it super entertaining. Partially an autobiographical, so the director/writer is reliving his life through the movie but of course many universal elements have been added to attract a wider / mainstream audience. Met the director at TIFF - amazing person. His answers to the q&a were awesome and there is great advice in the movie too, but I don't want to give anything away! I want to see it again. This will be in my top 3 TIFF films for 2013 for sure.

First, I love Woddy Allen films. I think there are two categories for his films (Classic and Almost- Classic), Blue Jasmine belongs in the Classic category. Even though it's coined as a drama, the characters in his films practically make it a hybrid of comedy and drama - the film is funny from the opening frame. The highlight of the film is Cate's performance. She must win an Oscar, TIFF is around the corner so I don't know what else is in store but it's going to be fairly difficult to beat her performance. I think I am going next week to see this again because of Cate's beyond perfect performance. Sally Hawkins was fantastic and the script is just so great that everyone gets an opportunity to shine at different points of the film. I am in love with the film. A MUST See, Twice.
