F.R.I.E.N.D.S

F.R.I.E.N.D.S ran from 1994 to 2004 and was brought to us by producers Kevin Bright, David Kane and Marta Kauffman. It tells the tale of six people Monica (Courtney Cox), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Ross (David Schwimmer), Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry).

This TV show is so much more than a sitcom in fact anyone that refers to friends as a sitcom has most likely never watched the show. They are not just characters in the show, but they also influence people with their heart touching performances. Basically, it describes about the time in one’s life when your friends become your family. And also, the time when anything that affects you affects your friends as well.

This show is incomplete without these six characters. Jennifer Aniston known as Rachel starts a show as a weak and inexperienced girl and grows to be an independent, responsible mother and a career woman. Courtney Cox as Monica is the epitome of OCD in competitive behavior and no doubt she is motherly center of the group. Lisa Kudrow’s, Phoebe is the free loving hippie of the group but is also a strong lady who survived without her parents and grew up on the streets. Matt LeBlanc delivers us Joey who is goofy and irresponsible actor of the bunch but has a heart of gold and would do anything for his friends. Matthew Perry gives us Chandler, a wisecracking funny comedic relief of the group and his spot on one liners make him a staple in the series. Lastly, we have David Schwimmer as Ross who brings a dorky warmth and fun embarrassing humor to the program.

The talented writers packed every individual show with hilarious and laugh-out-loud moments and at the same time filled those same plot lines with meaningful and emotional storytelling. These people were talented enough to write plot points that were carried out throughout the series. They continually wrote about Ross and Rachel’s love story as well as Monica and Chandler’s joining.

This is a show where you can put on any episode from any season and you would laugh hysterically and be moved in all 23 minutes. This great drama of television history will live on for many decades to come. Looking back at the show I must say that it had a good ending. The chapter of their lives that revolves around growing up and being mature has come to an end. Must watch this best comedy drama known as F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Mission Impossible:Fallout

Mission Impossible Fallout is the sixth part starring Tom Cruise directed by Christopher McQuarrie and it look like that it is here to make all the action movies look like baby action movies. It’s the best action film meticulously planned actions sequence not just from choreography or stunt perspective but from cinematography perspective. There are so many beautiful filmed moments. Movie like fallout with a star like Tom Cruise whose doing the things which Ethan hunt is written doing in the script he’s leaping over buildings he’s jumping from airplanes he’s hanging from helicopters he’s motorcycling through oncoming traffic in Paris and it’s a type of thing that a lot of films utilize CGI or stunt double but here the action sequence is done by Tom Cruise himself. Action sequences are so intense and white knuckled because they are actually taking place. It’s a wonderfully executed action movie from beginning to end filled with set pieces that are designed to make your jaw drop. Every action done in this film whether it’s a foot chase or helicopter stunt or shootouts it’s all the best version they could have done.

In movie tom cruise returns as an undercover agent whose mission is to save the world from a global nuclear destruction. The Apostles has risen to terrorize the world once more they believe that a great suffering will cause the world to seek peace and managed to attain three nuclear bombs. Due to the failing of arms deal in which hunt was present CIA put their best man agent Walker played by Henry Cavill to get the deal back. On the task to a hunt in recapturing the bombs with walker hunt travels to Paris to impersonate the leader of the Apostles john lock and meet with a broker named the white Widow. When Locke was killed. Hunt took his place without mask and met the white widow. The widow tells Hunt that in order to get the nuclear weapons back he must catch Solomon Lane and turn him over an arms exchange. This worries walker who tells his boss that he believes Hunt is in fact Locke and using the double bluff as a cover in order to carry out mission. Hunt caught Lane fantastically and succeeds to bring him to London. In London walker is tricked into revealing that he is in fact locked by a trap set up by Ethan. Hunt and the gang have about the plan though and have placed a tracking device in lane which they managed to follow to a remote village. Where hunt sees his ex-wife is working as a relief worker. Lane activates the bombs and hunt races across the sky to obtain the detonator whereas other people were doing their best to disable the bombs. It’s the fantastic finale that sees Henry Cavil end up looking like cross bones and it has one of the best action scenes in series so far. For a second time lane was captured and in the ending scenes he was handed over to the white widow.

If you’re fan of Tom Cruise this movie has like the ultimate Tom Cruise shots on top of building as he’s running. The cameras are rotating around him. It ends up in incredible stunts. Fallout has taken Mission Impossible to the next level which is insane considering this is the sixth movie in franchise that has spanned over 20 years.

MARVEL'S 'DAREDEVIL' (2015) SEASON 3 REVIEW

Daredevil is part of the Netflix segment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The giant success of the first season of the show was what led to the release of shows being produced on Netflix under the Marvel banner such as Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher and Defenders.  These shows are set in the same universe as the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and although we haven't seen many strong connections between the two, there are plot threads and references that bring up events from movies like Avengers that help solidify that the shows and the movies are set in the same world.

The Neftlix shows have been very hit-and-miss. The first season of Daredevil was stylish, well written, well directed, featured incredible performances, stuck true to its comic book roots and had some of the best action sequences I've ever witnessed so the show rightfully earned a lot of praise from critics. A lot of the other shows were great too and some not so much. But none of them ever really matched the quality that the first season of Daredevil had. They were plagued with problems such as too many episodes per season for a story that could easily be resolved in just 5 or 6. Season 2 of Daredevil faced similar issues and was a mild disappointment.

Season 3 ends up breaking that streak of mediocrity by bringing back the class of the first season and actually improving upon it in certain ways. The story picks up right where the Defenders miniseries ended with Matt waking up from a coma after the events of that series. The show immediately proves that it's going to have better pacing than the other seasons by keeping the focus on the character conflict from the start. The story remains focused on Matt questioning his catholic beliefs after the events of the previous seasons. We see him as a broken man working and fighting his way to his redemption over the course of the season and that already makes for a more interesting plot thread than immortal ninjas. The long number of episodes actually benefits the story for once. We see him contemplate whether or not he will murder Wilson Fisk and it never comes off as rushed. The story sticks true to its comic book roots by taking heavy influence from Frank Miller's Born Again storyline. That's always been what sets Daredevil apart from these other shows: It embraces its roots rather than shying away from them.

Speaking of which, the other characters are fantastic too. Vincent D'Onofrio reprises his role as Wilson Fisk and he's just as intimidating as ever.  Explaining how Wilson Fisk got out of prison was never going to be a particularly easy task but the show found a clever way to handle that and seeing him get straight back to work on becoming New York City's Kingpin of Crime proves to be immensely satisfying.  He has some of the best scenes in the season and his confrontation with Matt was iconic. Other returning characters include Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and they actually have interesting things to do this season as they deal with the loss and distancing of their friend. We also have some really great new additions including the show stealing Ben Pointdexter who is portrayed brilliantly by Wilson Bethel. The actor's performance really helps empathize with him despite the things he does. He's a really great interpretation of Bullseye and they adapted him perfectly. I hope to see more of him in the future.

One thing I was really worried about was that the show would fall victim to the other Netflix series's problem of not having a lot of style. Fortunately this season ended up having some really impressive camerawork. The action scenes somehow managed to out-do the ones in the last 2 seasons which is an impressive feat. The one shot hallway sequence in episode 4 is one of the most intense and exhilarating sequences I've ever witnessed. The Daredevil vs Pointdexter fight in episode 6 was also a standout sequence with some really great choreography, setting and surprising respect to Bullseye's abilities from the comic book.

The season does have a few issues. The show using the trope of Matt seeing Wilson Fisk as an hallucination was kind of irritating, even though it's better done here than in other shows. Still it was only rarely used so it wasn't a big issue for me. There were also times I felt that Daredevil himself was put on the back-burner as the certain episodes diverted their focus too much on the side characters. There's a 20 minute long flashback sequence in episode 10 that breaks the flow and tension set up the by the previous episode's ending. I feel like this sequence could've been spread out elsewhere over the course of the season and it would've played out much better. There were also times when I questioned the use of the lens they chose to shoot certain scenes. The lens ended up making movement look very blurry and the show looked really cheap during those moments.

All in all those are just minor nitpicks and I really enjoyed this season more than any of the other Netflix seasons. I really hope it gets picked up for a fourth season as there's much more they can do with these characters later on. I'd strongly recommend checking out this show if you haven't already.

I give Daredevil season 3 a 5/5.

HICHKI (2018) "HOW CAN A TEACHER MAKE A FUTURE?"

Hichki is an Indian Hindi comedy-drama film, directed by Sidharth Malhotra under the banner Yash Raj Films. This film was an adaption of an autobiography How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had.

Naina Mathur (Rani Mukerji) suffers from Tourette syndrome. Her condition causes her to make uncontrollable sounds like hiccups. Yet, Naina receives an offer to teach at the school namely “prestigious St. Notker's School”. Naina's intense and enduring confidence impresses the current school committee and they assign her to 9F, a new class section. Later in the movie, 9F turned to be most difficult class to deal with. It was revealed that the school was furious to hire her as all other teachers had failed to get the class to cooperate. Naina notices that the students are unruly misbehaved and are visibly at odds. Shyamlal, a school worker (Asif Basra), discloses to Naina that the 9F students belong to families from a nearby slum and that they were given admission to fill the government-prescribed quota for the underprivileged. Naina got surprised with this information, she decided to draft a complaint but she got to know that every member of the committee was also involved. Then she tried to make a new strategy to deal with the students of 9F. A student from 9F secretly sabotages 9A's project in his revenge. This is discovered by the Principal and he decides to expel 9F. Naina prevents this by promising that the class will pass their final exams, but she was unable to avoid their suspension from attending school till the exams as it was an offence. Exam results shows Naina's promise as the 9F students pass examination. Mr.Wadia, the VP, encouraged Naina's transformative teaching and asks her to pin the perfect badge to her students who ranked first. The film shows Naina's last day at school where she had served for more then 25 years. She incorporated innovative teaching styles, provided trainings to staff and taken school learning to a great new level where students enjoy coming to school. At the last day students arranged a farewell party for her. The last to happily bid her farewell were the students of 9F who were now successful adults.

The film shows that how some schools neglect individuals just because they don’t fit in their standards. The film also justifies that every single person of society has an equal right to gain an education. The movie also portrays that every single teacher has such a huge effect on the pupil’s life. Everyone can make a difference but a teacher can make a whole future. The film is a must-see for all the people of any age. Everything in the film was just brilliant.

THE INTERVIEW (2014) MOST CONTROVERSIAL MOVIE OF TIME

The Interview is a 2014 American comedy film produced and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The screenplay is by Dan Sterling, based upon a story he co-authored with Rogen and Goldberg. The film stars Rogen and James Franco who are journalists in the movie, set up an interview with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and are recruited by the CIA to assassinate him. North Korean leader likes these journalists, as they were having a great show in America. So he decided to have an interview. CIA provided them with initial training about how to assassinate the North Korean leader. The humor and dialogue delivery makes this a very comedy movie. One journalist spends some extra time with the leader and he realizes that he is not a that bad person as portrayed by the American media. This caused a conflict among the two mates. One between them stepped back from the mission and wants to enjoy a healthy friendship with the leader. He thought that he is a very kind-hearted person and peace loving. He loves his own people and people are happily living their lives, but he was not right as shown in the movie. Later he got to know that he was not correct. He was very wrong about he views. All the things he has seen were fabricated and not for real. The night he realized all these things was the last night before the final interview. In the interview he asked very open and blunt questions from the leader, he got shocked. This scene ended up revealing the real face of the leader by attacking the journalists and stopping them to continue the show and going back to their home country. Many army men helped them to escape. This shows that people in the country were not very happy with a leader.

Both the countries are hostile for each other and there are certain facts which must be revealed and there are certain which must not be. Overall it was a very worthy movie to watch, but there are some things which must be avoided. The leader of any state is a leader overall. Opinions may differ. This movie because of such a controversy faced many difficulties in the release. Both the countries again had a conflict over this movie. This movie was watched by millions of people.

 The film is also heavily inspired by a documentary which was shot in 2012. Rogen and Goldberg developed the idea for The Interview in the late 2000s, with Kim Jong-il as the original assassination target. In 2011, after Jong-il's death, Jong-un replaced him as the North Korean leader. Rogen and Goldberg re-developed the script with the focus on Jong-un's character. The announcement for the film was made in March 2013. Principal photography took place in Vancouver from October to December 2013. In June 2014, the North Korean government threatened action against the United States if Columbia Pictures released the film. Columbia delayed the release from October to December and reportedly re-edited the film to make it more acceptable to North Korea. In November, the computer systems of parent company Sony Pictures Entertainment were hacked by the "Guardians of Peace", a group the FBI claims has ties to North Korea. The group also threatened terrorist attacks against cinemas that showed the film. Major cinema chains opted not to release the film, leading Sony to release it for online rental and purchase on December 24, 2014, followed by a limited release at select cinemas the next day. The Interview grossed $40 million in digital rentals, making it Sony's most successful digital release, and earned an additional $12.3 million worldwide at the box office on a $44 million budget. It received mixed reviews for its humor and subject matter, although a few critics praised the performances of Rogen, Franco, Park and Diana Bang.

Money Heist 2019? ( Le casa de papel)

Money Heist or “Le Casa De Papel” is one of the most exciting tv shows that I’ve watched in a while. It gets your blood rushing and keeps you wondering what will happen next, fearing for the life of those who are organizing the heist (weird, I know). Money heist is a tv show that started in 2017. It’s originally created by Netflix in the Spanish language but has also been dubbed in English. The very first episode is what gets you hooked to the show. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t watched it yet.

 

The season starts with a man who is waiting outside for a woman to take her away from the motel that she lives in. Then the introduction starts. A narrative by the woman who was being taken away from all the things that she’s done. But for one last time she’ll commit a crime and live her life to the fullest. Her name is Tokyo. The class starts and everyone is given a name after a city, so that there’s discretion and no personal affiliation with each other. There’s Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Nairobi, Denver, Rio, Oslo and Helsinki. The person who’s leading the heist is known as The Professor or his alter ego to the police as Salva. Salva is short for Salvador, which he names himself after the artist Salvador Dali, who’s masks they use to hide their faces for the heist. Mind=Blown. Anyway, there are 8 people who are operating the heist (minus the professor). The professor is their backend information control to keep a check on everything outside the heist. 

Now begins the heist. They move into the Royal Mint of Spain strategically, knowing that they have leverage over the special forces as the  daughter of the British ambassador is on a field trip. Berlin is the head of the heist happening inside the Royal Mint. They show the first episode as if they were going to get a few million euros and run out the main entrance and get caught but it was part of a bigger plan. But they go back inside, seeming to be “stuck” in The Royal Mint. As the plot starts to unveil they show that the professor starts to become a friend of the negotiating head of the heist, who is an abused woman and an easy target. During all this time they do no harm whatsoever to the hostages and print money of their own as long as they are in there. They get most of the hostages on their side and within sometime they get the media audience on their side too. One of the hostages get shot and they call in the paramedics, The Professor uses that as leverage to fix a microphone in one of the negotiators glasses while seducing the head of negotiation. 

On The Professor’s end, he tried to fix a few loose ends that were meant to be done before the heist started. Those few frames make your heart beat faster as it seems that The Professors identity would  be revealed and all of the heist would go down the drain. Tokyo, Rio and Berlin’s name’s are the only ones the police find. Raquel, head of negotiation suspects The Professor (Salva to him) quite a few times and is proven wrong. They eventually start to fall in love with each other, which causes difficulties on both ends. 

The police find the house in which the heist was initially being planned but it slowly starts to unveil that The Professor had been scattering evidence which would lead them to a dead end. During the time The Professor is tying loose ends, Berlin doesn’t get a checkup call that they agreed to every 6 hours, and everyone starts getting impatient. It seems as though their plan is falling apart. When everyone starts loosing their minds, Tokyo’s fuse is the first to go off, and she tries to kill Berlin, who’s keeping the heist together. That angers him and he sends her off to the police. The Professor, still trying to keep the heist together on his end pulls Tokyo out of the hands of the police and wasn’t able to call her to give her instructions to safety. So Tokyo finds her way back into the Royal Mint.

During this time Raquel accuses her partner of being a mole which causes them to split. He figures out that Salva, the guy she’s been seeing, is The Professor, but before he could say anything his car crashes and he’s in a state of coma. 

Raquel believes that The Professor had planted the car crash and plans a trap. To check whether it’s a trap or not, the Professor plans a small chaotic stage show full of clowns to cause distraction in the hospital and see if Raquel’s partner is out of the coma or not. He later has a lunch date with Raquel and forgets to take the bright orange clown hair off his coat before he sees her. She sees that and figures out he’s The Professor and is later blamed that she might be planning this whole heist with him and is kicked off the task force. She starts interrogating him alone and he eventually frees himself and aborts the plan. She finds his heist spot none the less, and tries to hurt him but her emotions get in the way. He explains to her why he’s conducting the heist and convinces her enough that their side becomes one. 

The rest of them try to dig their way out and eventually find The Professor at the end of the tunnel. Relieved, some dead, make their way out, taking all that they could within 3 days. While Raquel maintains her dignity and the criminals their pride, everything comes to a rest. Raquel, after one year, finds her way to The Professor. And that’s where the season ends.

So after looking at how perfectly that’ve executed the series, they’ve planned to make a 3^rd season. It scares me and excites me as they ended it so beautifully, that making a sequel to it might ruin they whole essence of the TV show. But who knows, maybe it’ll be better that season 1 and 2. We’ll have to wait and watch.

What made The dark Knight (2008) movie so popular?

The Dark Knight is one of the finest films ever made. Directed, produced and co-written by Christopher Nolan. The film is the second part of Batman Begins. It’s an entertaining comic-book movie, a compelling drama, a thrilling action picture and a brilliant observation of the ambiguity of justice. The film properly showed the darkness of Dark Knight while still showing the humanity of Bruce Wayne and his struggle of carrying the weight of Gotham on his shoulders.

I saw The Dark Knight about seven years ago. And I still remember their acting, dialogues, the camera work, the story, everything. It is the movie worth seeing. The way the film opens with the group of clowns robbing a bank and during the job each member begins to kill one another one by one. The remaining robber reveals himself as Joker. A crazy super villain.

The stories usually focus on the journey of the main character and in The Dark Knight the protagonist’s journey is defined by his antagonist. There’s a same right a hero is only as good as villain and that’s true to a certain extent. While villain contributes a huge factor to the movie it does not mean that if he’s a well-developed character the movies going to be a winner. It’s not about how each character is individually but how each character pays off the other. The Dark Knight is a brilliant film due to the role Batman and Joker play with each other and how they influence and respond to each other’s choices.

But when I think about why The Dark Knight works so well, the answer always seems clear the Joker (Heath Ledger). He was not a star before this movie but became a legend after it. His acting was incredible. The way he delivers dialogues hit a person properly. Some of his best dialogues:

“We stop looking for monsters under the bed when we realize they are inside us”

“Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that face”  

His unpredictability. One minute he is hilarious, harmless prankster and the next an inhumanly brutal savage. There has been psychopathic villain before but there is something special about the Joker. Now, what makes him best antagonist? How he become the perfect opponent of The Dark Knight? For that watch the Dark Knight.

Teen Titans Go! To The Movies (2018)

I'm not a massive fan of  the series Teen Titans Go! I've seen a bit of the show and I've found it to be very hit and miss. Sometimes it's really clever, other times it's unbearably stupid and childish. There are very rare occasions where it ends up being a mix of both. It's safe to say that I still prefer the original more mature take on the team that the original Teen Titans show on CN had to offer.

When this movie as announced I was...skeptical, to say the least. However the more I saw of it; the more it peaked my interest. The trailers showed a film that seems to be very self aware and not afraid to take shots at other films in the superhero genre. Basically a family friendly version of Deadpool (which they also took shots at). I could dig that.

So I saw the film after the massive critical acclaim it received really sparked my curiosity and....I loved it. I thought it was fantastic.

The plot is that Robin is upset that he hasn't been given a solo film of his own while every major superhero around him is starring in big budget franchises.  So the Titans set out to prove themselves as real heroes who are deserving of a film of their own. Overall the plot is pretty predictable but the film is very aware of that and even pokes fun at itself for it. This could easily come off as lazy but the film doesn't shy away from exploring the most creative and absurd things that they could do with this story. There are several over the top and absolutely hilarious scenarios that our heroes keep throwing themselves into. A lot of them don't even really contribute to the plot in any meaningful way but they're done in a very interesting and funny manner so you tend to forgive it as you laugh along.

One thing I really admired about this film is that they clearly had such a blast in experimenting with different animation styles for different scenes. During most of the songs (which are extremely catchy) they employed styles that made the animation more fluid and  made those sequences more surreal than they would've been otherwise. This added to my appreciation for the effort being put here.

If you've seen the show then you probably have a very good idea of the type of humor to expect when you watch this movie. Fart jokes, self referential gags, meta humor, more fart jokes, etc. Deadpool follows this same standard for comedy but I actually think it sort of works better in this movie than it does in that one. Mainly because this film takes itself less seriously so there's a weird charm to the absurdity. Even (do I daresay) a surprising level of intelligence. Think of Lego Movie but with more toilet humor and you've got Teen Titans Go! To The Movies. 

The film isn't aimed at just kids. There's a surprising amount of dark humor that I admit took me by surprise and made me laugh til my gut hurt. The last joke of the film had both me and my friend laughing out loud. Aside from that there is clearly a lot of love present here for DC comics and the superhero genre in general. This is evident from the jokes (present and background) that reference superheroes and stories that even I'm barely aware that existed. They poke fun but you can tell it's done with a lot of love and care for what they're referencing.

What really makes the film work for me is the characters. They have a really great dynamic with each other that's equally funny and heartfelt. They work off each other great and they really feel like a proper team. This is evident in the banter and the action scenes. The voice cast consists of talents like Tara Strong, Will Arnett, Kristen Bell...and Nicolas Cage (who finally got to play Superman). Everyone sounded like they were having a blast.

Overall I found the movie really fun. I'd strongly recommend it.

DHAMAAL (2007) "FUN UNLIMITED"

 Dhamaal (fun) is a 2007 Indian comedy directed by Indra Kumar. Story is all about hidden treasure it starts with four unemployed friends (Roy, Manav, Adi, and Boman) who were kicked out by their landlady for not giving their rent. They all make up a plan to earn money. One of them ask the other to steal painting from the house so that they can sell to the late business man Dwiwedi for money. But accidently Manav picked up the blank one. They humorously sell the painting for 20,000 to Dwiwedi’s son. They again steal that painting to sell it to Mr. Aggarwal not knowing that he has been murdered. During investigation of Mr. Aggarwal, inspector got the information that before murdered he was talking about some horse and grass. At the same time all four arrived at Aggarwal’s residence to sell painting, inspector came and demands to see the painting. Seeing the horse and grass he immediately arrest them.

As a result, fight arises and they decided that whoever reaches the treasure first would take all the money. They all try to reach Goa as fast as they can. Roy come across a guy named Babu Bhai (Sanjay Mishra) and conform to divide the money among themselves provided they manage to be in Goa Asap. On the other side Boman bump into his father. Although Nari at first desires to kill his son, changes his mind once he learns about the 10 crores. Adi and Manav travel along. Kabir nearly escapes death as he hangs off a drop and was saved by some kids. All of them bear a series of hilarious adventures before reaching Goa.

Apart from Kabir they all reach the garden at the same time. Finally Roy explains that it is useless finding the treasure alone and all agree to find the money together. They all search for the big ‘W’. Manav is able to locate the palm trees which make the shape of ‘W' when a crow poos on Adi. But Kabir arrives there and ask them to divide the money between them to which all agree. They dig there and are able to find the money. But again a fight ensues over the payment for the damage of car. The fight goes on and Kabir took the advantage and runs away with money. He tries to escape in hot air balloon on beach but finds it tied to a pole , he dives in an effort to cut the rope but couldn’t. They all catch him and the balloon blows off shore.

Wind changes direction they all follow the balloon but balloon clashes against a pole and the bag falls down. All of them try to collect money suddenly some spot lights target them and a crowd cheers loudly behind them. They were standing on stage where a function is being held by an organization name ‘Help Orphans’. Seeing so much money in their hands everyone thinks they came to donate. All of them get emotional and every one attempt to give the cash for orphans. The film ends on a cheerful note conveying that the fate of the cash was already determined. It was never belonged to the four friends. They were simply a medium that helped the money reach its true destination.

TOP 10 INTELLECTUAL MALE CHARECTARS AS SEEN ON TV

This list is just my opinion, and there is no order to it.


10. Walter White

It’s difficult to portray both the chemistry teacher dad and a ruthless drug-lord at the same time but Bryan Cranston got the job done with his unforgettable performance as Walter White in the hit AMC series ‘Breaking Bad’. Set in scenic New Mexico, the series follows Walter’s journey from being a loving father and husband to a brilliant meth kingpin after he gets diagnosed with lung cancer. Aside from the show developing his turn from protagonist to antagonist; the show also shows us just how cunning and brilliant this former chemistry teacher is. Throughout the series, Walt is able to throw off his family’s suspicions, save his own life and avoid being arrested repeatedly. He’s manipulative, cunning and can plan ahead in ways that are hard for the characters or audience to predict. Plus his impressive knowledge of chemistry and science makes for him some very interesting scenarios where Walt solves his problems in creative ways. These include picking locks with homemade explosives, prying open handcuffs using a nearby copper wire, crafting explosive mercury to intimidate a drug lord and many more. Because of his cunning intellect the characters and audience are all left wondering: What will he do next? 

9. Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister played by Peter Dinklage in the series Game of Thrones is one of the most charismatic characters to be played. His elegant personality makes his character probably the most loved character on the series, other than the sympathy we all have for him. Tyrion is able to mimic the person standing in front of him and speak their language. His impressive strategies and alliances make his character wise. Unlike other’s that have been on this list, his down to earth personality keeps him from getting into trouble and other characters have compassion for him. 

8. Elliot Alderson

Elliot Alderson played by Rami Malek in the series Mr. Robot is the weirdest and technologically advanced character possibly made on tv. Elliot used to work in a cybersecurity engineering company alongside his childhood friend. His character has such a high IQ that he is able to hack into places without the help of softwares’ or any other mediums. Elliot has a leverage of technology and the great understanding of it to compensate for his antisocial behavior and his psychological problems. Even though the character has not be established to make the right choices or think absolutely straight, and there is a contradiction as to how Elliot’s thought process affects him in general, he has power over all things high-tech. 

7. Sheldon Cooper

Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons in the series The Big Bang Theory has a comically intellectual side. He is a Quantum Physicist in his late 30’s who doesn’t believe in anything but science. Sheldon Cooper’s character is made to only believe in facts and that is shown in random back flashes of his childhood as well. His gifted mind makes him skeptical of the world around him and immune to jokes and gags (which makes the series funny). His straightforward thinking and brainy personality makes his character lovable and intimidating at the same time. Many viewers find it irritable but gifted people like him actually exist. 

6. Harvey Specter

Harvey Specter played by Gabriel Macht, in the series Suits, is the most charming smart character made in the world of law tv series. Many would argue that his right hand, or his understudy Mike, is far more dexterous than he is, but I beg to differ. Harvey is a lawyer at Specter-Pearson Associates, a law firm in which Harvey used to work in, is now owned by him. The cunning lawyer makes it to where he is through hard work and his high IQ. He knows what the enemy’s next move would be and plans ahead of time to counter it. Due to Harvey’s experience in the field, he is able to recognize every lawyer that passes by him. What makes his character so charming is that he has a good taste in humor and there are many times life knocks him down and he is presented with an arguably difficult choice in life, he always seems to find a way to make things work. 

5. Gregory House

Gregory House played by Hugh Laurie, in the series House MD has been one of the most admired and hilarious character ever to be made. What makes his character so lovable is that House has a low tolerance of incompetency, whilst training employees under him team. He always seems to have clever comebacks when someone talks about unnecessary stuff, whether it’s a colleague or a patient. He seems to know the answer to every medical problem that is present and is able to fit all the missing pieces in highly advanced cases that he has come across. Although House has lost patience’s due to late understanding of a small details (sometimes), that doesn’t stop him from continuing to help his patients. Even though his addiction of Vicodin gets the best of him, House always seems to know the answer. 

4. The professor

The Professor, or Sergio, played by Álvaro Morte, from the Spanish series Money Heist (Casa De Papel) has a different vibe to intellect. The professor is a mastermind behind planning a heist for years of his life, training his partners in crime in 5 months. What makes this character smart is that whatever he plans, he plans all the outcomes and consequences of his actions, despite them creating hurdles in the heist. And all those outcomes have backups of backup plans. He reads all those people who become involved in the heist and uses their skills to his advantage. The fact that the Professor planned his outcomes, a lot of things go wrong (naturally) and yet he was able to turn those events in his favor. The smartest thing that he does is pull out from the heist and take whatever he can while he still could. His character is clever, charming and humble. 

3. Rick Sanchez

Rick Sanchez, voiced by Justin Roiland, from the series Rick and Morty has been created ever so brilliantly. Even though Rick is an animated character, it doesn’t knock him off this list. There was a lot of effort and thought put into the evil scientist, who has created multi-verse of the same world. The character has an intelligence so high only the learned can pick up on his nasty humor. His understanding of philosophy, psychology, physics, autonomy, chemistry, botany, astronomy, and God knows what else makes Rick superior to all other beings in his universe and all other possible universe and multiple versions of him. He can stop time and travel through portals. His character isn’t liked by many due to his habits and lack of emotional bonding, and yet it makes many to want to have that kind of power over others. 

2. Dr. Cal Lightman

Dr. Cal Lightman, played by Tim Roth, in the series Lie To Me has been an all time, highly advanced and qualified character to be made by American television. Lightman is a deception expert who runs his own firm with a friend. What sets this character apart from any other is that he can tell when he’d being deceived in less than a millisecond. Perhaps it’s his years of experience that makes him gifted. Other than deceptive facial expressions, he can pick up on various details that surpass the normal eye (even on camera… Tell me about it… Yeesh) that can solve the most challenging cases. And with the help of his precision to detail, he can fit all the puzzle pieces as though putting alphabets in order. 

1. Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, has been labelled one of the most intellectually produced characters (initially made by Sir Conan Doyle) in the British series Sherlock. His ability to analyze a situation ahead of time due to his high IQ is what makes the character intriguing. Sherlock is perceived to be very well aware of his surroundings and those unknown to him. His eye for detail is what makes this character so superficially smart. He can withdraw as to what a personality an individual holds just by a thread on the coat, or the empty line on the ring finger. Above all, the guy has enough knowledge to destroy the world. The character’s carelessness towards emotions and irritability towards incompetency is probably why people like to idolize him.
