???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

It’s TV’s biggest night, with the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards airing tonight at 2 AM. Contending shows for the top prizes include:

Best Outstanding Drama Series: Bridgerton, Lovecraft Country, Pose, The Boys, The Crown, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Mandalorian, and This Is Us.

Best Outstanding Comedy Series: Blackish, Cobra Kaii, Emily in Paris, Hacks, Pen 15, Ted Lasso, The Flight Attendant, and The Kominsky Project.

We’ll be featuring reviews of our favourite nominees throughout this week — starting with The Mandalorian: The show, which has raked in 24 Emmy nominations, is an example of an adaptation of an existing intellectual property done right — something Disney has failed to do with its Star Wars sequels that were poorly received by fans. Instead of ruining already established and beloved characters (which it had been doing), Disney reached out to Jon Favraeu (who kicked off the Marvel cinematic universe with Iron Man) to develop an entirely original that includes beloved side characters from the franchise and the extended universe, which franchise-killer JJ Abrams murdered when he took over Star Wars. Add to that the ambiance of a Spaghetti Western meets space opera, and you finally have a Star Wars live action show worth watching in the last 20 years. You can watch it now on OSN.

Get a taste of Italian ice cream with Casa di Gelato: This gelateria makes artisanal handmade Italian ice cream with the best seasonal ingredients and organic dairy products. Located in New Cairo’s Arabella Plaza, Casa di Gelato boasts 38 classic flavors which include a special without sugar. They also have mini pancakes that can be drenched in your choice of topping, whether maple, nutella or lotus. Their popsicles are referred to as “magical ice cream sticks” and are true to their name. Our favorite was their gelato slush, which was perfect on a hot summer day.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Rahul Raina’s debut novel, How to Kidnap the Rich, is a satirical tale of modern day India that follows the brilliant but poor Ramesh Kumar, who makes a living by taking tests for India's elite students. But things get complicated when one of his clients ranks first across the entire country thanks to him. Although the narrative and plot resembles that of Slumdog Mn’aire, this novel takes on a dark and subtle comedic turn. The book does a great job at highlighting India’s prejudices against the poor. Highly recommended to get a better idea of Indian culture.
