When mid-day started this series of star recommendations, we hoped to introduce readers to the gamut of untapped shows and movies, and give a rare peek into the choices their favourite stars make. In our chat with Nushrat Bharucha, she gave a glimpse of her geeky side as she listed out the sci-fi thrillers that have her hooked.

"Netflix has a range of shows which are largely untapped," starts off Bharucha as she categorises them based on the streaming platform, and cross-references to the genre they belong to, almost like Monica Geller from the sitcom Friends. "My favourite is The OA, which is a layered and delicious series that narrates the story of a woman, who resurfaces after seven years. It has a mix of interstellar and spiritual elements. The German show Dark [is on my list] because of its supernatural concept. It talks about two children who go missing from a small town," says the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor. Being a fan of murder mysteries, Bharucha also talks about The Sinner, a series inspired from German crime writer, Petra Hammesfahr's novel of the same name.
