Somehow Prime has got hold of Indian Audience nerves. They keep getting it better and better. Started with Breathe, then Mirzapur and now this. No cheesiness, straight story telling, beautiful direction, genius screenplay and editing. And amazingly realistic shots of Delhi police stations and Chitrakoot locations. Perfect casting and mind blowing background score. Great work for the first time production of Anushka Sharma team. Kudos and keep it coming. Now wait for season 2 begins...!!

I can't help but seeing this as the True Detective Season 1 in Indian setting.

Everything is not as it seems and there's so many layers to these secrets. Even the protagonist is a flawed character but trying very hard to finish this one particular make or break case.

Just like the True Detective, the protagonists need to solve this case to the very end, no matter what it unravels. Kudos to the writers, directors and actors/actresses and all that made this show possible.

At first I was ignoring it thinking it's just some discount Mirzapur show. Also I believed the whole "Anti Hindu" controversy and thought it's also like Ashram or something like that. Turns out I was wrong. I watched it on the last day of my Prime subscription and I binge watched it in one sitting of 10 hours. After watching it even Mirzapur looks like Hum Saath Saath Hain.

It gets you hooked. It is a brilliant story that keeps you at the edge of your seat. Jaideep Alhawat is brilliant as the leading man. Neeraj Kabi never dissapoints but the star of the show is Abhishek Banerjee. He is simply brilliant in every scene.

I saw this few days back on Amazon Prime n i found this to be more darker than Sacred Games.

It is one of the best police investigative thriller n Jaideep Ahlawat nailed the character of Haathi Singh. What a performance he gave.

The series has lots of twists n turns but it gets very gory n brutal at times. I forwarded the rape scene.

The last episode fits exactly like a jigsaw puzzle.

This series delves into the ideas of caste discrimination, religious communalism, political corruption and the repercussions of violence.

In an industry where everyone wants to be politically correct, this one has *alls of steel to tackle religious fanaticism, persecution of minorities, subjugation of the lower castes, child abuse, discrimination against transgenders and the pathetic state of women safety in rural India.
