Skyline Drive
Why tune in?
The opening line of Skyline Drive's first episode is:
"I don't believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to me."
I instantly got hooked.
I don't believe in astrology, but every once in a while, I go into a rabbit hole of astrological charts. Watch astrology-related videos on YouTube. I read about my sign and try to find similarities or things that don't relate to me at all.
I'm a Libra Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Cancer Rising. Which should make me an indecisive, adventurer with a kind heart?
Astrology is a fun hobby, a tool for learning more about oneself, and a lucrative business. It speaks to people's desire to know the future and has the strength to tap into our deepest insecurities and fears.
The first episode is a bundle full of emotions.
From a conversation with A.J. Jacobs. A person who decided to live a life biblically for 1 year, to sweet and vulnerable discussion with Mangesh's mother on the story of her arranged marriage and what role astrology played there.
Quote, I loved from the first episode: "Astrology is true the same way a poem is true."
Who would love Skyline Drive?
Taking astrology seriously is not serious. You'd be made fun of for having astrology as a hobby or simply for believing in it.
If you are a believer or a curious explorer, you'll feel snug and safe with the stories of people who share their connection with astrology and the mysterious stars.
Mangesh takes us on a valuable journey to figuring out what astrology means to him, his family, his culture, and the people he talks to.
If the first episode indicates something, then the upcoming 7 episodes will be filled with diverse experiences of people who ponder, what's up there in the stars?
Caution: forget your axe at home!
