Valeria

The main character, Valeria played by Diana, depicts how she has reached rock bottom in her writing career, and cannot think of anything appealing, to write about, in her novel. The writer faces a complete block, both on personal as well as professional front.

Bridgeton
The show has been streaming as top 10 on Netflix, for a quite some time now. The show talks about romance and sex, in not just the occasional and stereotypical way, but in a more intriguing and exciting manner. Inspired and adapted by Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton novel series, the show can take you on a ride that shall revive the innocence, rawness and joy in you. Depicting the Regency Era (London) in 1813, the story did not fail to portray the reality of the society while balancing it with the inner truth. For instance, it shows how women were expected to be submissive, at the same time it also did not miss the chance to depict what women really wanted and did. The women smoking, demanding the freedom to study and earn for themselves, have children and a say in deciding who they shall marry; each and every topic was thoroughly covered in the entire show. The two leads of the show, Duke of Hastings (Simon), played by Rege-Jean Page and Daphne Bridgerton played by Phoebe Dynevor, takes you on a natural but steamy sexual journey, in the show. Being unabashedly bold on this subject, there is a scene where Simon talks to Daphne about exploring her pleasure points, and assures her that she can touch herself; which was quite mind blowing, given the era that the series was based upon.

SHE
‘She’ has been streaming on Netflix for a while now. It’s an Indian web series, that talks about a women constable, who goes as an undercover agent, to investigate the drug lords coming to the brothels. The story line might be a cliché, but the portrayal of the women is not that of a damsel in distress.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the story talks about her entire life and the journey she undergoes. Being the only bread earner of the family, she lives a life where she is neither happy with her husband, nor the income a regular police constable earns. ‘She’ comes across as a depiction of a reality somewhere, and can’t be taken as a total work of fiction.
