    Ok not OkI call the site The Irish Indian Times. It’s a nod to my background while I continue to write reviews. My background informs me; it doesn’t define me. This short is a hilariously bleak rom-com as we Gogglebox a couple and their dynamic together. Loretta is all hyper-animated, passionate, and sharp. It is…
