Even the word Bardez evokes something fantastical, the lair of a once-powerful, unrecognisable force or the den of an evil overlord. For all these foreign influences, the etymology of Bardez is quintessentially Indian. And therefore, we get a quintessential Indian spooky story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Folks, If you have Netflix, this is a series perhaps worth watching. I was alerted to "Typewriter" by someone on the Goan Tanzanite site so I thought I would pass a few hours watching it. I usually watch movies shot in Goa just for the Goa scenes and this movie does not disappoint in that regard. However, Indian movies produced in India for Indians have started to develop depth in the plot and they are now dubbed in English - at least here in N.America . So even though I had the sound on mute, I could follow the plot. This series starts slow but gets more interesting with each episode. If anyone here has watched the series, I would like to know if the main villa is actually in Goa. It seems highly improbable to me. Once again, if you already have Netflix, Typewriter is worth watching. MervynP.S. another series targeting the N.American ethnic Indian market is "Never have I ever." I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a teenager.
