ब्रीद: इनटू द शैडो

Direction was good. Acting was awesome and great thrill.

Superbly directed, written and screenplay by the team. Kudouss..!!!!!!

Not even a single minute you will feel out of context or not relevant to even 1%. This was not their in S01 of the series. It was quite lengthy... But this season 2 was a marvelous combination of story telling, suspense and writing.

Coming to Acting - Abhishek Bachan, Naveen Kasturi and Amit Sadh have killed it. Supporting characters like Abha, police inspectors etc. Have played thier roles beautifully...

I had thought to complete in 3-4 days. Watched in 1 day!!!!

One line - Sure to watch ONE time!!!!!

(Season 01 to watch compulsory)

What worked:

• clever screenplay; we cannot deny that the role of the lead character especially Abhishek Bachhan is very wisely and cleverly portrayed despite some flaws of course. The series although long, keeps you engaged, stays in narrative and gradually explores its narrative aspect. As a mental health professional, I appreciate the writer's work on dealing with the disorder, and the writing in general is quiet well done. I also liked that the writers tried to answer minute nuances and details, also agreeing that some weren't done wisely.
• lead performances; Amit Sadh is a hidden gem, he is captivating and brilliant as usual. Abhishek deserves an applause for his performance. These roles should be a strong reference for their resume I believe.

What did not work:

• screenplay; the screenplay is dull, mundane at times, unreal and has plot holes. So many questions remain unanswered and unrevealed. The basic premise of the series is not handled properly. I don't want to give away the spoilers. We would have wanted a more detailed reasoning and revealing regarding the main characters action, motive and how the actions were presented in the camera. I would say the writing is edited but the main agenda of the series is not well baked, resulting in a dish half baked. Some of us will come out of the series with questions and with complains how this show could have been better.
• runtime; we can definitely question the run time. There were chances of cutting the scenes to crisp the narrative. Unlike other series, this one however keeps you engaged.

Final verdict: recommended, watch it casually

Amazing storyline and thrilling twists. The background score and overall production quality meets the international standards. Abhishek truly delivers. If you love watching crime thriller genre then this series is definitely for you. Don't want to say much about the storyline or anything else, just get comfy in your couch and let this season take you on a thrill ride.

The season ends in a cliffhanger but will definitely return for season 3.

Abhishek acted well, seems a lobby working to defame AB Jr giving negative reviews all over. Amit Sadh role should had been increased, a chase and action scene between AB and AS would had changed the level of series
