Deli Boys

Two Dar boys set out on the road to carry on the empire built by their father, this series while a bit childish at moments will never let have a dull moment and always keep you hooked, however incomplete and paced character development as well as a sometimes holed script leaves this box of achar with lots of masalas dripping into the wounds of people looking for logic, but if you don't want a logic and just want to enjoy a great relatable dark comedy (especially for all the ABCDs out there) then brace up for 10 episodes of quirky jokes, relatable characters as well as some sibling bonding moments.

What happens when "Fargo" crashes into "Dumb and Dumber"-but with a generous serving of spicy masala? You get "Deli Boys", a fresh and frenetic crime-comedy that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

At the heart of the series are two brothers: one flamboyant and reckless, the other naïve yet ambitious. Their father, a successful businessman who deliberately kept them out of his empire, suddenly dies-leaving them to inherit not just his legacy but also the shady dealings hiding beneath it. As they fumble through legal and financial chaos, a whirlwind of colorful characters enters (including FBI) the picture, none more magnetic than Aunt Lucky (Poona Jagannathan), who effortlessly steals every scene.

Clocking in at around crisp 23 minutes per episode (sans credit roll), Deli Boys delivers tight, well-paced storytelling, a rarity in today's era of overlong streaming series. The humor is sharp, unforced, and refreshingly authentic-never pausing to over-explain inside jokes, especially those rooted in South Asian (particularly Punjabi) culture.

Goofy yet organic, Deli Boys blends smart writing with strong technical execution. It may not reach cult-classic status, but it's a solid, standout comedy that will resonate with South Asian audiences for years to come.

I can't name many sitcoms that have made me laugh over the last decade, but I can add DELI BOYS to the list. It is so much fun.

DELI BOYS succeeds where so many sitcoms fail. It is genuinely funny, but it has that larger than life situation that helps it be funny. The surprising and shocking twists and turns make it laugh out loud funny.

There's a nice ensemble cast that makes this show work. The cast has really nice chemistry.

With so many comedies that don't work because they are unfunny dramedies or zinger based one liner sitcoms, we really need fun shows like DELI BOYS. I really hope Hulu renews it for a second season.

Looking for something to watch on a boring night of TV? Five hundred channels and nothing on? Give this show a shot. We needed something new to kill time on TV, and remembered the ads for this show. I have to say it did start a little slowly, and there are a few references early on that some people may not "get." But about halfway through the first episode, a lot of that had been put aside and the fun started. A lot of good back-and-forth dialogue that keeps you listening and interested. The storyline takes a few unexpected twists and turns as well. We're 4 episodes in, and we're looking forward to the rest of the season.

I finally found a good comedy to watch even if it's a dark one! I'm a fan of dark comedies anyway. You can get away with much more in these type series. Absolutely love the clash of cultures and the ways of life. There's a stereotype but their characters themselves make fun of it. Really good story fits modern day perfectly. Plenty of laugh out loud scenes and screwed up families. You find yourself really rooting for some of the characters to succeed. The series succeeds where many others fail. The only thing I wish is that the episodes were an extra 5 minutes longer. There is plenty of story to tell in the series. Looking forward to the next season.
