Money Heist 4 (Netflix)

Money Heist returned to Netflix on Friday for its fourth season, known as La casa de papel in Spanish, which means ‘the house of paper’..

The trailer of season 4 features Tokyo narrating stating that the Professor has lost his mind and we get a first glimpse as to what will happen with Raquel in season 4. She’s offered the chance to get her old life back. We also get plenty of action shots suggesting this is going to be a fast-paced and action-packed fourth entry.

Panchayat (Amazon Prime Video) Panchayat is a light-hearted show capturing the journey of an urban protagonist Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar), who for lack of a better job option, joins as secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh. Stuck between crazy characters, Abhishek unwillingly starts his job but with the sole motivation of getting out of there as soon as possible, for which he even prepares for CAT.
