Episodes
Touch-Move
The touch-move rule in chess specifies that, if a player deliberately touches a piece on the board when it is their turn to move, then they must move or capture that piece if it is legal to do so. If it is the player's piece that was touched, it must be moved and must continue the play whatever result may be. A lot like love. A lot like life. A careless act will lead you to do things out of your way. But sometimes, that unexpected turn, that unfamiliar route, can bring you to a much favorable position. And it's up to you to make the most out of it. Sakristan's first episode is about choosing between FATE and FAITH.
Bangkok
Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand where the BL series originated. It is the cradle of the phenomenal genre that is "Boy's Love". If love is a country, its capital city will definitely be Friendship. In this episode, we will look back at our precious high school moments that introduced us to our friends, through successes and struggles, making us realize how important it is for every relationship to become invested in friendship first before it can ripe into love. Sakristan's Second Episode shall discuss the different angles of LOVE and FRIENDSHIP
Cuerdas
The Courage of a String. Sakristan's 3rd Episode entitled Cuerdas contains scenes, dialogues, and a throwback that answers questions about how Zach and Christian's relationship came into being before the series resets to its "present time" narrative. Courage and Truth will be the resonating tune in this part of the series; a relatable subject for Filipinos who are afraid to dance to the rhythm of love.
Thick and White
"Thick and White" is thick with controversies surrounding Zach and Christian as they explore each other in an intimately passionate first. Prior to the encounter, Christian, a self-confessed noob on the subject, gets tutored by his outrageously eager friends on the basics of same-sex intercourse. Along the way, the couple learns not only the physical know-hows but more importantly, the emotional bonds that make a relationship stronger, more exciting and more rewarding. Thick and white is filled with metaphorical musings about the art of love-making. Like a thick and white rice porridge, love requires the right temperature, a harmony of ingredients, and the appetite, if not hunger, to consume it with pleasure.
Barong
"Barong" is an embroidered long-sleeved formal shirt for men and the national dress of the Philippines. This reflects the skin of each character, showing their true colors and representation.
The Goddess
"The Goddess" shall shed light to the undeniable power of forgiveness and acceptance after a series of devastating turn of events for Christian, he finds himself looking for answers and this hunt for peace led him to a wonderful journey of unexpected healing. Sakristan Episode 6 is an elaborate discussion of Love, Closure and Continuation.
The Wall
"The Wall", with 3 powerful conversations from 3 key players of the series, this episode will shed light about moving on, self-forgiveness and above-all the real importance of LOVE in the midst of sorrow.

This chapter in the lives of #ZaChristian will discuss the importance of "Respect"; Respect towards others and their own ordeals, Respect towards decisions and personal happiness and above all, Respect to one's self and humanity. The Finalé guarantees no closure, just new possibilities and chances waiting to unfold far from our eyes.
Recently Updated Shows
The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.
As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.
Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
Atomic
Atomic is a dynamic and entertaining action-fuelled adventure. When Max and Mohammed, two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa, they face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bombgetting into the wrong hands.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
