Summary
Reviewers say 'The Family Man' is acclaimed for its compelling narrative, realistic depiction of a middle-class man's dual life, and Manoj Bajpayee's stellar performance. The series is celebrated for its humor, action, and genre balance. However, some note pacing issues, uneven development, and clichés. Its portrayal of political and social themes is both praised and critiqued. Despite these flaws, it is seen as a major contribution to Indian web series.

First of all I am happy with the fact that now people atleast know secret agents are not like Salman Khan's character Tiger (from Ek Tha Tiger , Tiger Zinda Hai), Secret agents are not commandos who can beat a bulk of villain singlehandedly, so you can say the level of Indian Series is going up.
Now talking about this series, I liked the concept, I liked the over all story, acting. Remember one thing this series is about a family man who also works for a secret team whose main task is... Okay I am not goning to give spoilers. Directors did really well in that part , the balance of life between work and a very normal family with two cute kids.
Now the things that could be better: It started really well, 'Dance of Death' was best eposide in my opinion. Show was going really well upto this part, but then directors tried to do some thing more, tried to put more twists, and ended up doing illogical things.
Dont read from this point if you haven't watched it yet: If you have watched this then you know there was a plan B, now can any one explain me why the terrorists were not executing plan B first...?? It was easier right??

Firstly this review is for Season 3
My rating for previous seasons: Season One - 8.5 ⭐ Season Two - 9.5 ⭐
So now, Everything was going so well till the 6th episode and why tf do you think that you need to have a cliff hanger like this!! You want audience to be excited for next part ok but you don't do this if you take 4 years to make next part as simple as that.
This series has everything and this season again shows everything which we expect, How some people get sold despite getting every benefit, whereas for few pride is still what matters the most...How people whom we trust can Backstab, how people we tend to think can never trust come out of Syllabus. How Corrupt Media and corporates make narratives which suits them, how real heroes are always and always the ones who are on everything at frontline on ground...
But this show has set the bars so high specially after Season 2 that even after so much in it, it somewhat feels underpar with respect to Last season. So yes with heavy heart 8 stars this time :(

Jack Ryan, which also happens to be an Amazon original used to be my favourite action/drama series until I saw this masterpiece. This series is very realistic and an exciting take on spy based series where the spy drives some old messed up hatchback and not an Aston Martin. The series also shows how the underpaid job of a spy affects Sri and his family. 10/10 would recommend. Doesn't matter which country you're from
Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.
Manoj Bajpai is a great actor and well supported by the rest of the cast. The story is great and the way they handled sensitive issues is commendable but. Give it a try. It's definitely a binge watch
