Psycho-killers, interviewed
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 23/08/2019
» The series didn't drop with as much ballyhoo as most Netflix new releases; instead it creepy-crawled into the algorithm of fans with chilly stealth last Friday. Mindhunter Season 2, created by Joe Penhall with several episodes directed by David Fincher, is a cerebral remedy to Netflix's glut of story-driven series and formulaic cliffhangers.

Junta fuels rap views
News, Postbag, Published on 29/10/2018
» The rap song <i>Prathet Ku Mee</i> by Rap Against Dictatorship has gone viral (BP, Oct 27).
