Kohrra: Brumes hivernales

This is probably the third Indian series I have watched. All the ones I have watched have been of high quality. This series continued that strong streak. The series was multi-leveled and in a good way raw. The characters were believable and the actors were good. The series was somewhat emotionally cruel, but was ultimately warm at its core. I also appreciated the fact that there were only six episodes. This was quite enough to create depth, atmosphere, flow and still be slow burnish. I don't know, but this little bit reminded me of True Detective and I cannot quite point on why. It is also interesting to follow the cultural differences.

An otherwise good production spoilt by the over violent police.

The police would always hit a suspect during questioning in every scene, violating a suspects human rights.

It put me off finishing this production.

Is police brutality normal in India?

Why is the show getting such high ratings despite the police brutality?

I don't understand why the producers would glorify this in this mini series.

Why is Netflix casting such a show that normalizes such violation of human rights?

Any how the story line was good, acting was good but the violence from the law enforcement has put me off from finishing the series.

For the past couple of days, this series has been cropping up everywhere on social media. Critics were showering love on the show and condemning Netflix for not making adequate efforts to promote their newly released content. And this slew of discourses eventually led me to the series.

Now that I have completed all the episodes, I would beg to differ with the pundits; Netflix has had done the right thing not to market it because it does not deserve the attention it's getting. I'm not saying it was terrible; it was decent at best. But also, it was uninspiring and shockingly uneventful from a writing standpoint. Albeit, they have tried to deal with half a dozen subjects.

While I appreciate their heartiest exertions to initiate relevant dialogues on several issues pertinent to our modern-day society and its people, unfortunately, none of those notions materialised to their fullest extent, all thanks to sluggish screenwriting that had elongated the course of events for no apparent justifications.

Thankfully, it didn't mar the investigative procedures, which did have a fitting resolution in the concluding moments. I wish the writing here were tighter and more proficient in conveying the messages they wanted to convey!

Loved it, yes I agree that it is a slow burn content, but what else you expect from suspense based crime thriller??? Those who are complaining I think they do not have ever watch mindhunter..now coming to the content, starting episodes were very engaging and I liked the subtle comedy between the characters..mid episodes I did find were bit slow might be due to lack of much twist or hooking point towards the end..I did find kidnapping segment useless..and best part about the series is how it ends..climax is ok, it won't disappoint you much.. there is a good resolve for each character at the end..which makes you feel good.

Generally am pretty lazy to write feedbacks/ reviews but when I saw folks rating this series as low as 1 felt its unfair for the viewers who deserves to watch this intriguing and touching human drama of realistic emotions and suspense. Pls note you will not be able to predict the outcome and mystery until last few mins so pls watch it. Agree it slow at times and not fancy and nonsense like Abbas Mastan movies but who cares when you get to see great acting skills and an original writing. Very tight direction great dialogues and camerawork. This work is far better than recent pathetic movies getting aired with big names like Khans and Kapoors. Thank GOD we have OTT contents for viewers like us. Well done Netflix. I could have rated 8/ 9 but coz of its slow running pace will stick to 7.
