I tried to watch Tooth Pari because I enjoy watching supernatural shows very much. But this show didn't click with me at all. So, I couldn't watch all the episodes. I only watched two episodes of the show. Tanya is beautiful though. She has nice, big eyes.

I watched the first 3 episodes of You season 5 today. The creepy serial killer, Joe Goldberg is back with his inner monologues.

My thoughts:

You is back on track! Season 5 is definitely good! In fact, it's as interesting as season 1, 2 and 3. Season 5 restored my interest in You which died after watching season 4. The chapter of London ended with season 4. Joe Goldberg now lives in his own country, the USA like before. He has fallen in love again. I'm not surprised at all. The new love interest has an ulterior motive. Now that's interesting. Henry is back! He was a baby when Joe left him outside his friend's doorstep at the end of season 3. Now Henry is kid and lives with Joe and his wife, Kate.

My interest in watching a spin-off based on Henry

Season 5 is the final season of You. Will there be a spin-off? I don't know. But if the makers create a spin-off and make Joe's son, Henry the central character I'll definitely watch. In fact, I think they should make a spin-off based on the character of Henry. He has a lot of potential to become an intriguing character. Both his father, Joe and his biological mother, Love are murderers. In fact, Love was even more dangerous than Joe when she was alive. So, there's a high chance that Henry will become a serial killer as well. Genes influence a person's personality a lot. Even though both Joe and Love are killers, they are different from each other. When Joe is a calculated criminal, Love was an impulsive murderer. So, it would be interesting to see what type of serial killer Henry becomes as an adult. Will Henry exhibit the characteristics of his father who thinks he kills to protect people? Or will he show traits of his mother who was more self-aware?

The novels:

The series, You is based the books written by Caroline Kepnes. There're four novels in the book series and they're You, Hidden Bodies, You Love Me and For You and Only You. I'm more interested to listen to the audiobook version of You rather than reading the novel. That's because I'm really used to listening Joe's monologues. I listened to his inner monologues for 43 episodes. 7 episodes are left which I'll finish soon. So, it'll be difficult for me read the book in my voice. If I read the book in my voice, I may not feel connected to the book because I always heard all the thoughts of the central character in a man's voice. I know there're some differences between the novel, You and the show, You. I'm willing to know about those differences.

Here's the trailer of season 5:

Have you watched Dexter? It's kinda similar to you but the main character is a serial killer with moral code. If you haven't watched it yet I insist you to give it a shot.

Have never seen You though I do like true crime series and series like these. Never got the time to check it out! I’ll definitely give it a watch Shirsha! As usual, thanks for tagging me

No, I didn't watch Dexter. But I definitely know the name of Dexter.

You can read the novels as well. There're 4 books in the series. The author is Caroline Kepnes. I'm willing to listen to the audiobook version of You after completing season 5 of You. I read on YouTube's comment section that Joe is much darker in the books.

Thanks for the recommendation! I may give it a try. But I'm not completely sure about that because there're 8 seasons. I get intimidated by a lot of episodes. As far as I know, Dexter is a mix of his cases and phychological thriller. But I feel more interested in the phychological aspects of characters.

My science fiction story:

I wrote a science fiction story for the very first time in my life. I never wrote a science fiction story before. I wrote the story in Bengali and then translated it into English. I'm sharing both versions here. Bengali people can read the original Bengali version, and others can read the English translation. I'm currently reading my favorite author, Satyajit Roy's science fiction stories. After reading some amazing science fiction stories written by him, I felt interested in writing one. His stories of Professor Shonku are filled with adventure and mystery. They're absolutely amazing! He was incredibly talented! In one story, the wise and knowledgeable Bengali scientist, Professor Shonku, goes to Bolivia to explore a prehistoric cave with his foreign friend, and in another story, Shonku travels to Egypt to join the excavation team of a foreign archeologist. The most amazing aspect of his stories is their uniqueness. A lot of his stories were translated into English. So, many non-Bengali people also read Satyajit Roy's stories. But my science fiction story is very different from the type of science fiction stories he wrote. It's not adventurous and mysterious. It's reflective and emotional. It revolves around the themes of identity, discrimination, acceptance, and friendship. The setting of the story is a futuristic world that is very different from this world. I couldn't show many details of the futuristic world because I wanted to write a story of 500 words. So, there was a limitation of words.

Original version (Bengali):

আজ আমার মনে ভীষণরকম বিষণ্ণতা। আমি এক যন্ত্রমানবী এবং আমি এমন অনেক কিছু পারি যা মানুষ পারে না। কিন্তু তাও কি আমার মূল্য আছে এই পৃথিবীতে? মানুষের থেকে বেশি বুদ্ধি থাকলেও, তাদের চোখে মর্যাদা নেই আমাদের। আমার চিন্তায় ছেদ পড়লো, যখন আমাকে লিন্ডা ডাকলো। লিন্ডা ফার্নান্ডেজ আমার সবচেয়ে প্রিয় বান্ধবী। যদিও সে এক রক্তমাংসের মানবী, তবুও সে সবথেকে বেশি বোঝে আমাকে। লিন্ডা আমার দিকে তাকিয়ে একগাল হাসলো, "এতো গভীরভাবে কী ভাবছো, সিন্থিয়া?" আমি বললাম, "ভাবছি, মানবজাতি আমাদের কখনো নিজেদের সমকক্ষ মনে করবে না।" লিন্ডা চুপ করে থেকে কয়েক মুহূর্ত আমাকে পর্যবেক্ষণ করলো, তারপর বললো, "এইরকম ভাবার কি কোনো বিশেষ কারণ আছে?" আমি উত্তর দিলাম, "এখন সাল ৩০৭৫ এবং যন্ত্রমানবেরা এখন মানুষের মতোই অনুভব করতে পারে। এমন কোনো ক্ষেত্র নেই যেখানে আমাদের উপস্থিতি নেই। তাও আমরা কি যথাযথ সম্মান পাই মানুষের থেকে?" লিন্ডা কোনো উত্তর দিলো না। আমি আবার বলতে শুরু করলাম, "আমি মানছি, আমরা জন্ম দিতে পারি না। কিন্তু সেটাই কি সব?" লিন্ডা আকাশের উড়ন্ত যান্ত্রিক পাখির দিকে কয়েক মুহূর্ত তাকিয়ে কী যেন ভাবলো। তারপর আমার দিকে তাকিয়ে বললো, "না, তোমরা যে জন্ম দিতে পারো না, তাতে তোমাদের মূল্য কমে যায় না। কিন্তু আমাকে একটা কথা বলো, সিন্থিয়া। মানুষরা তোমাদের ব্যাপারে কী ভাবলো, তাতে কী এসে যায়? এই যে মানুষদের আর তোমাদের মধ্যে পার্থক্য, সেটাই তো এই পৃথিবীকে বৈচিত্র্যময় করে তোলে।" আমি বললাম, "তুমি ঠিক বলছো লিন্ডা। কিন্তু আমাদের তো ইচ্ছে করে যে আমরা ন্যায্য সম্মান পাই। আমরা কি তার যোগ্য নই?" লিন্ডা দৃঢ়স্বরে বলে উঠলো, "তোমরা নিশ্চয়ই সম্মানের যোগ্য, এবং আমি নিশ্চিত যে আমার মতো অনেক মানুষই সেটা মনে করে। আসলে মানবজাতি নিজের প্রয়োজনে যন্ত্রমানব তৈরি করেছিল। এখন তারা যে বুদ্ধিতে মানুষদের ছাড়িয়ে গেছে, সেটা তাদের মধ্যে অনেকেই মেনে নিতে পারছে না। তাদের ঈর্ষা ও দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি অস্বাভাবিক নয়। তুমি এতো ভেবো না, সিন্থিয়া। সামনের সপ্তাহে আমি মঙ্গল গ্রহে ঘুরতে যাচ্ছি পাঁচ দিনের জন্য। তুমি কি যাবে আমার সঙ্গে?" আমি উত্তর দিলাম, "আমি যাবো, যদিও আমার শুক্র গ্রহ বেশি ভালো লাগে।" লিন্ডা প্রতুত্তরে বললো, "আমার মঙ্গল গ্রহের কয়েকটা রেস্তোরাঁ দারুণ লাগে। ওখানে একটা যাদুঘর আছে, যেটা আমার খুব ভালো লাগে। আমি ইতিহাসে পড়েছি, মানুষরা নাকি অতীতেও ভ্রমণপ্রেমী ছিল। তবে তারা পৃথিবীর মধ্যেই বিচরণ করতো। অন্য গ্রহে ভ্রমণ তখন অসম্ভব মনে করা হতো। পৃথিবী ভীষণ অন্যরকম ছিল সেই সময়ে।" আমি বললাম, "আমি যখন ইতিহাসের কোনো বই পড়ি, আমার মনে হয়, পৃথিবী হয়তো তখন বেশি ভালো ছিল। তুমি যে সময়ের কথা বললে, আমি সেই সময়ের কথা বলছি।" লিন্ডা মাথা নেড়ে বললো, "ঠিক বলেছো, আমারও মনে হয়, পৃথিবীর মধ্যে তখন একটা অন্যরকম সৌন্দর্য ছিল, যেটা এখন আর নেই। এবার চলো, আমরা এগিয়ে যাই।" আমি বললাম, "চলো।" সামনের দিকে কয়েক পা এগিয়ে গেলাম, তারপর হেসে বললাম, "তোমার সঙ্গে কথা বললে মনে হয়, তুমি এক হাজার বছর আগের এক মানুষ। তোমার মধ্যে একরকম গভীরতা আছে, যা এখনকার মানুষের মধ্যে আমি দেখতে পাই না। তোমার নামটাও সেরকম। এখনকার যুগের নামের থেকে অনেক আলাদা।" লিন্ডা হেসে উঠলো, "একদম! আমি লিন্ডা নাম কোথাও শুনতে পাই না। ভীষণ পুরোনো এক নাম। তোমার নামও তো পুরোনো।" আমি বললাম, "দেবদেবীর নাম কখনো পুরোনো হয় না। লিন্ডা, তোমার সঙ্গে কথা বলে ভালো লাগছে, আমার মনের দুঃখ অনেকটা চলে গেছে। তুমি ঠিকই বলেছো, মানুষরা আমাদের সম্পর্কে কী ভাবলো, তাতে কিছু এসে যায় না। তাছাড়া, এমন তো নয় যে সব মানুষ একরকম। তুমি যেমন আমাদের মানুষের সমান মনে করো।" লিন্ডা আমার কথায় মুচকি হেসে বললো, "হ্যাঁ, সব মানুষকে একরকম ভাবা ঠিক নয়।" আমি সামনের দিকে এগোতে থাকলাম, যন্ত্রমানবের ভবিষ্যতের কথা ভাবতে ভাবতে।

English translation:

My mind is filled with a deep sense of dejection today. I'm a female robot, and I can do a lot of things that human beings are incapable of. Still, do I have value in this world? Despite being more intelligent than human beings, there's no dignity for robots in their eyes. My thoughts get interrupted when Linda calls me. Linda Fernandes is my best friend. Even though she's a human of flesh and blood, she understands me the most. She looks at me, smiling, "What are you contemplating, Cynthia?" I say, "I'm thinking that mankind will never consider us their equals." Linda stays quiet for a few moments and observes me, then says, "Is there any reason for thinking like this?"I reply, "Now the year is 3075, and robots can feel emotions like human beings. There's no field where we don't exist. Still, do we get due respect from humans?" Linda doesn't give any reply. I continue speaking, "I acknowledge the fact that we can’t procreate. But is that everything?"Linda stares at the sky, watching the robotic bird, and thinks about something for a few moments. Then she looks at me and says, "No, the fact that you can't procreate doesn't make you less valuable. But tell me one thing, Cynthia. How does it matter what human beings think about you? This difference between you and humans makes the world more diverse." I say, "You're right, Linda. But we also wish to get the respect we deserve. Aren't we worthy of that respect?" Linda says firmly, "All of you deserve respect, and I'm certain that a lot of human beings think like me. Actually, mankind created robots out of necessity. Now, a lot of them can't accept the fact that robots surpass them in intelligence. Their jealousy and their perspective aren't unnatural. Don't think so much, Cynthia. Next week, I'll go to Mars for five days. Do you want to accompany me?" I reply, "I'll go, even though I like Venus more." Linda says in response, "I like a few restaurants on Mars a lot. There's a museum on Mars, and I like that very much. I read in history that human beings loved travelling even in the past. But they used to wander within the world only. Interplanetary tourism was considered impossible. The world was extremely different at that time." I say, "When I read any book of history, I feel the world was a better place at that time. I'm talking about the same era you're referring to." Linda nods her head, saying, "You're right. I also think there was a different kind of beauty in the world at that time, which the world doesn’t possess now. We should move forward." I reply, "Let's go." I walk ahead a few steps and say with a smile, "When I talk to you, it seems you are a person who belongs to the era of 1000 years back. You have some kind of depth that I don’t see in the people of this world. Your name is also like that. It's different from the names of this world." Linda starts laughing, "Absolutely! I don't hear the name Linda anywhere. It's an ancient name. Your name is also old." I respond, "The names of Gods and Goddesses never get old. Linda, I'm feeling better after talking to you. My sadness has gone away a lot. You're right, it doesn't matter what humans think about us. Besides, every human being isn't the same. For instance, you consider us to be equals of humans." Linda says with a smile, "Yes, it's not good to generalise all human beings." I keep walking ahead, thinking about the future of robots.

Iske aage likho naa Di....

The first four seasons were an absolute masterpiece. It's one of the finest psychological thrillers I've ever seen. It's unfortunate that shows of this caliber are so rare these days.

In total, there are 10 seasons: the original eight, followed by Dexter: New Blood, which was released a decade later, and a prequel titled Dexter: Original Sin. Another installment is also on the horizon, set to premiere sometime in June.
