Mirzapur: A Cidade do Conflito

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!

Disclaimer: I am from Uttar Pradesh, who lives in Bangalore. Except for acid attack, they have covered everything in the underbelly of Uttar Pradesh.

I have given it 10 start rating. Why? Because I could connect way more than its other state viewers. As game of throne, takes its inspiration from medieval Europe, this series takes its inspiration from Uttar Pradesh of 90's and early 20's (Notice the name of CM brothers for reference :P).

Now, I have grown up in that kind of environment. But, is there any form of art which has reflected it succinctly. Omkara or Ganges of Wasseypur came close, but even they tried to tone it down a bit, and acceptable for silver screen. Producing a content for digital medium, has an edge that, they didn't have to be politically correct, just to please people - and thus tinker with the spirit of the story.

That perhaps was the best part, and I watched all the episode in a single session. A pure nostalgia. From the comfort of my room here in bangalore, I was reminiscing through my childhood. Yes Uttar Pradesh is violent. Uttar Pradesh values power. The meaning of word "Bahubali" is different there. But, Uttar Pradesh is not dull state. There is a cohesion amongst all, which makes that state lively, vibrant, and politically charged. A spectacle for someone who is watching it all from a comfortable distance - not too close to get your hand burnt in it.

And this series, gave you that very experience. Keep up the good work.

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.

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.

Some idiots are trying to defame and Criticize this show just because Ali faizal was in favor of Protest.

To all those idiots people, Are you watching movies or shows because of story, Acting, Direction, Dialogues, Emotions, expressions or just because if actor or actress believes in same ideology or not.

This show is truly masterpiece. Even Season 2 did not disappoint me at all.

If you truly appreciate the art and artist then you should watch this show.

If you are not in favor of Ali Faizal's ideology then go and criticize him on twitter.

What's the point in boycotting such a wonderful show??
