Every episode plumbed new depths of horror, teetering on the edge of \u201chow is this legal?\u201d, while parading a checklist of American gore carried out in broad daylight. The result is that you\u2019re glued to your seat in morbid fascination, despite common sense.\n\n<em>Tiger King<\/em> became a cultural touchstone almost overnight, its cult multiplying as memes, tweets, and personal recommendations based solely on its ability to shock during a period defined by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/coronavirus\/the-coronavirus-was-just-declared-a-pandemic-what-does-this-mean\/\">pandemic<\/a> and a global lockdown, when nothing really felt shocking anymore. In an essay for The New Yorker titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2020\/04\/13\/the-crass-pleasures-of-tiger-king\">\u201cThe Crass Pleasures of Tiger King,\u201d<\/a> writer Doreen St F\u00e9lix termed the show \u201cprestige trash\u201d. \u201c<em>Tiger King<\/em> is what we watched two weeks into our isolation,\u201d she wrote, observing that the collective embrace is evidence of \u201cour renewed craving for the crass, the politically incorrect, the culturally insensitive.\u201d\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-62488\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1587367468.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"775\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Even when the show paints a portrait of the decades-long hold of the Indian social conditioning that has always worked against the liberation of Indian women, it is not entirely interested in representing them.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nOne month into isolation, the show that we choose to watch closer home is <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em>, an Indianised, watered-down version of <em>Sex and the City<\/em> for similar reasons. Like <em>Tiger King<\/em>, the breathless obsession with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/the-life-of-a-journalist-in-four-more-shots-please-and-other-chick-flicks-is-fake-news\/\">Four More Shots Please!<\/a><\/em> has less to do with its quality and more to do with how unequivocally it commands our attention as well as takes our minds off the things that demand our attention. Exactly like <em>Tiger King<\/em>, the ability of <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> to promptly end up as a conversation-starter across social media timelines is more than anything, a product of its timing.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-62486\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1587367475.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"724\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>As of today, actress Kareena Kapoor, one-fourth of a girl gang herself, has put her weight behind the show.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nThe second season of the show \u2013 now streaming on Amazon Prime \u2013 comes at a time when the ambiguity of a lockdown that has us unmoored from human contact, is beginning to gnaw. At this moment, when every positive case of coronavirus and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/coronavirus\/indias-corona-story-isnt-as-bleak-as-predicted\/\">increasing death toll<\/a> is a harbinger of even more uncertainty, a show like <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> that doesn\u2019t just distract but also deflects from the realities on the ground, offers a different kind of escapist, therapeutic pleasure.\n\nIf the first season of <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> introduced us to a brand of aesthetic feminism, stacked to the brim with loud sex, alcoholism, lesbian romance, and numerous vagina interventions, then the second season takes it several notches higher. The protagonists, Damini (Sayani Gupta), the strong-headed journalist, Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo), an affable spoilt brat, Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), the successful divorcee lawyer, and Umang (Bani J), the plucky bisexual gym trainer, navigate misogyny, fake orgasms, a surprise pregnancy, monogamy, and the perils of the writing process with renewed vigour. The show works overtime in tackling every possible thread of bubble-gum progressiveness: Sapiosexuality, polyamory, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/sex-tinder-india-open-marriage-open-relationship-dating\/\">open marriage<\/a> are invoked as is standing up against the government machinery at the cost of being branded an anti-national. Ample screentime is also afforded to a vipassana retreat, stand-up comedy, Instagram fame, and same-sex marriage, which is yet to be legalised in the country, even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/take-me-as-i-am-supreme-court-section-377\/\">Section 377<\/a> has been repealed.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Four More Shots Please! achievement is the fact that everyone seems to be watching and talking about it at the same time as each other.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nAs anyone who has watched even one episode will tell you, <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> doesn\u2019t quite qualify as brilliant television. Even when the show paints a portrait of the decades-long hold of the Indian social conditioning that has always worked against the liberation of Indian women, it is not entirely interested in representing them. Its storylines are characterised by the kind of superficial excess that at times can be undeniably ridiculous \u2013 the obstacles faced by the four protagonists frequently come across as minor inconveniences that are often devoid of any real consequences. This season for instance, has an integral subplot about a journalist who finishes writing a book within the first five minutes of an episode and then self-publishes it in the closing five minutes of an episode. In the next episode, we learn that the book, based on the mysterious death of a judge (heavily inspired by Justice Loya\u2019s death and journalist Rana Ayyub\u2019s <em>Gujarat Files<\/em>), is both banned and a best-seller. Somehow, things seem to always work out for these four women, either through a stroke of good fortune, wealth, privilege, or a combination of all of the above.\n\nYet it is also the show\u2019s frivolity that is the reason behind the mass-traction it is amassing at the moment. The truth is, <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> is simply easier to consume than anything else \u2013 the fact that its universe is so far removed from our current realities is thrilling at a time when delusion seems hard-earned. If the measure of a watchable show is the endorsement that it manages to generate around itself, through outrage, guilty-watches, or memes, then <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> is a definite shoo-in for the ultimate Coronavirus unifier. Its achievement isn\u2019t just that everyone is watching and talking about it but also the fact that everyone seems to be watching and talking about it at the same time as each other. Effectively, the show has managed to find a loophole in the restrictions that have made it physically impossible to gather for a group viewing and turned the internet into a screening room. In doing so, it has allowed us to replicate the joys of community watching, giving us a reason to talk to others about something that they can talk back to us about.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-62487\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1587367471.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"651\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Four More Shots Please! is simply easier to consume than anything else \u2013 the fact that its universe is so far removed from our current realities is thrilling at a time when delusion seems hard-earned.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nAs of today, actress Kareena Kapoor, one-fourth of a girl gang herself, has put her weight behind the show, indulging in a good-natured Instagram banter about making an appearance in the third season (can you imagine?). In the last two days, my Twitter timeline has started resembling a confessional room. Every third tweet is about the show \u2013 friends, acquaintances, and strangers can\u2019t stop talking about how they can\u2019t stop themselves from talking about the show.\n\nBefore a deadly pandemic halted our lives almost without warning, <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> was merely prestige trash: a show that was so bad that it was good. But today, it is also emblematic of what quarantine entertainment looks like, similar to a time-out during heated moments in basketball matches.\n\nEvery episode in the second season of <em>Four More Shots Please!<\/em> opens with a disclaimer that declares that it is made \u201csolely for viewer entertainment\u201d. Whether you are a fan or not, you\u2019d agree that it does live up to that promise. Sometimes, that\u2019s all you need from a show.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like Tiger King, the breathless obsession with Four More Shots Please! has less to do with its quality and more to do with how unequivocally it commands our attention.
