Let’s start a brand new story…

Yep, Boyzone song…

Monday is free these days as the super annoying Ishqiya has ended. ARY Digital has not aired the finale episode so I cannot comment on how it ended. It was loud while it lasted.

Anywho, off to a new show to fill the vacancy. Mushk is perfect because the first episode aired on August 17, 2020. It is better to review right from the first episode so there is no backlog to clear.

Mushk has quite impressive credentials associated with it. Written by Imran Ashraf and directed by Aehsun Talish, this new HUM TV drama has a retro  feeling in contemporary setting.

Let’s meet the cast and characters, shall we?
