How To Get Away With Murder

     I just finished this series on Netflix entitled "How To Get Away With Murder", which is very catchy. Until now I am still wondering how Netflix can air this kind of series. The title alone is suggesting a negative message to the audience.
The series that perplexes me 

     I know the content is about fighting for justice for the underdogs and hiding the truth in order to protect the innocent who happened to be at the scene. It is a noble objective but the lies and hiding still annoys me. I understand they were trying to portray fighting for justice in this cruel imbalanced world where the moneyed and powerful perpetrate their crimes over those who have no means to fight. I believe a better title would have made the series less offensive.

Dollhouse

     I seldom watch Filipino films on Netflix always going for the English flicks simply because I have always felt Filipino films' standard are so-so. Then this week I saw the no. 1 hit in Netflix Philippines is a film led by Baron Geisler. He is one of the greatest Filipino actor but he was an addict, I believe he is recovering since he is now with a family.

     Curious as to the no. 1 tag, I watched it. I didn't know it would make me cry. I don't know if the film is really that good or I am easy to cry. It has a simple plot but the ending where Baron Geisler's character in the rehab recuperating from stroke, unable to recognize his daughter who is now teen is tearjerking. My tears rolled out from my eyes without me knowing it.
