The Family Man

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.

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

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??

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.

After delivering an award-winning and extremely successful The Family Man Season 1, Raj & DK along with Suparn Varma perfectly created an engrossing sequel. The sharp writing, well-choreographed action sequences, impressive performances, and gripping screenplay are the major highlights of the show.

The opening scene is absorbing, initial episodes are fast-paced, humorous, and engaging. Each episode is shown with the right balance of entertainment and thrills. The character development was rightly achieved and various subplots are opened well. The series drops a little bit in midways but it catches speed from its 7th episode. The last 2 episodes are well executed & it takes the series to another level, the screenplay will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The credit of keeping the viewers hooked to the screen majorly goes to Manoj Bajpayee.

Manoj Bajpayee delivered an outstanding performance, right from the first episode he steals every scene with his expression and dialogue delivery. Equally good is Sharib Hashmi, he also delivered an impressive performance. Priyamani, Devadarshini, and Seema Biswas are fine in their supporting roles.

Samantha Akkineni as Raji is one of the best things about the series. She has chosen a great role and series to introduce herself to the Hindi and global audiences. Samantha plays the antagonist in the series and does complete justice to her character. Special mention for Ashlesha Thakur, she is excellent as Dhriti. Vedant Sinha as Atharv plays his part very well.

The cinematography by Cameron Eric Bryson is breathtaking, especially in the climax and the attack scenes at the police station. Ketan Sodha's background score is excellent. Sumeet Kotian's editing is crisp and compact. The series ends on a great note with the promise of a stirring Season 3.
