The Family Man

Just completed the second season as soon as it dropped on PrimeVideo and I got here to recommend you to watch it *ASAP*. All the people unsatisfied with the ending of the first season shall be satisfied in the very first episode.

With all due respect to Sacred Games and Mirzapur, both of whose first season were, in my opinion, better than first season of The Family Man, but had a slightly under-expected season 2. The Family Man, on the other hand, ups the ante and comes out a winner among Hindi thrillers in the OTT space.

Manoj Bajpayee perfectly fits into both the roles of a family man as well as an undercover agent. Bring on the action, bring on the humour, Manoj sir can do it all and how effortlessly. Watch out for. Samantha as Raji in the second season where she plays a character willing to go to any length, physically or emotionally, to reach her target.

Special shout-out to Sumeet Kotian for the crisp editing throughout the series and the directors for the brilliant show.

Gotta say, Raj and DK are one of the torch bearers of Indian OTT platforms. The Family Man is amongst the most popular Indian series and as of writing this review season 2 has finished.

At this point there's no need to praise Manoj Bajpayee for his skills. Just be thankful he exists and gifts us with these gems and we must protect him at all costs.

One of the best things about this series is the writing of characters. Small or lead characters, everyone is paid attention to detail and they exist for a reason. The antagonists are always very very well written which makes this more nail biting. Apart from that, background score, production design, dialogues are top notch.

VFX could be better with bigger budget and sometimes there are dues ex machina happening with either event or character which is a let down but nonetheless it's still entertaining, sometimes shocking with sprinkles of comic moments.

Lastly, The family man is a must watch show and ironically not family friendly.

Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.

What a series! Mind blowing acting, screenplay! The last scene of the last episode, it sounds like another season will come surely.

The family man.

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??
