Mirzapur

Must watch series after sacred games. Eagerly waiting for the 2nd season

A lot of people might argue about which was the better season and has better engagement. Trust me, second season has more storyline than just violence and sex. Everything is well written and well executed. Though you might feel that the twists and turns are somehow predictable at some point but it has created a strong base for the upcoming season.

I write this review after watching all 9 episodes and reading god awful critic reviews about how predictable the story line is and how gore and violence doesn't let it fly. Don't listen to any of the critics on this for sure because this show is anything but predictable.I myself am an avid fan of cinema and have watched stuff across many genre and can testify that this is a new and original show with characters, dialogues and storyline to die for.Every review that you read will praise Pankaj Tripathi, even the bad ones and he deserves it but i guarantee you that have never seen 'Ali Fazal' like in this show and for me he stole every second of his presence and even scenes with Pankaj Tripathi.

Overall rating of the three seasons is 7, before season 3 it was a solid 8... Season 3 is a whole new Mirzapur with new leads and atmosphere. It's darker and more intense than ever, yet it's substantially dragged and undercooked, with the writing and underdeveloped character arcs being the main culprits. This is absurd because these aspects should have had the prime focus, considering that most lead characters from earlier seasons were missing or not prominent this season. It has its moments, but that's just it. Sadly, it's a letdown. By the way, there is a post-credit scene in the last episode. Don't miss it!

My rating for the entire series dropped significantly after watching season 3. Season 1 was top notch, Season 2 was watchable. Season 3 is utter trash with extremely boring and inconsequential sub plots. Pankaj tripathi has no presence, Shwetha bores you to death - she's the most unfit for the role in the entire series. With the unforgettable bad boy Munna's death in Season 2, macho man's Guddus role is wasted with petty scenes. Jail scenes with Guddus father are worth skipping entirely. Sarad Shukla character is total BS, he neither knows to act nor his role is interesting. The never ending CM/ political scenes have no meaning whatsoever. Last but not the least in terms of criticism, is the mega boring Bihari family with twins and a dwarf father make you hate this series so much that you longer want to wait for any more seasons ever. My rating was 9/10 until season 2. Season 3 is just a disappointment after waiting for so many years. We can call this once gem of a series good bye.
