Waack Girls

A classic Sooni Taraporevala masterpiece, with the characters having beautiful backdrops which unfold over the course of the show. I love parallel story lines and characters who have their lives intertwined (reminiscent of Little Zizou, another of sooni's works).

I remember watching ye ballet on Netflix, another one of sooni's works a couple years ago, which was great fun too. But this one takes the crown!! Kudos to the people who conceptualised it and executed it so beautifully!!

Hoping there's a season 2 coming soon! I finished seaon 1 in a weekend!!!! Hoping for longer episodes this time around

11/10. Must watch.

So great and different from all the nonsensical content coming out. What an enjoyable and refreshing watch! Loved it and cannot wait for season 2!

The cinematography, direction and dancing were incredible. The dancers are not just technically skilled but also incredibly expressive, making every routine a powerful statement. The show balances fierce competition with personal storytelling, allowing viewers to connect with the artists beyond their performances. The production quality is top-notch, with vibrant cinematography that truly enhances the visual spectacle of waacking.

Sooni Taraporevala you are a genius!

We had a wonderful time watching Waack Girls. There was so much energy, humor and genuine human feeling -- we were completely entertained.

Right from the start, we cared deeply about EVERY character. Even the smaller roles -- like the young girl who takes care of Grandpa -- are so carefully developed that we felt a connection with them.

One reason the characters seem so real: they behave beautifully one minute -- and make big mistakes the next minute. They also have unexplained details in their lives, which kept us wondering. So when those details are revealed in later episodes, it's very powerful.

One other surprise: seeing the many similarities -- and the extreme differences -- between modern life in India and our own world. The way the Waack Girls go in and out of English and Indian languages is fun to hear. Plus, the images of urban India are so vivid and beautiful, it's like taking a voyage away from our own world.

That's one of the reasons why we're eager to watch season 2. We want to go back to life with the Waack Girls!

This is indeed a revolutionary series that delivers strong messages in a subtle, delightful manner. It has layers of truths, some that emerge through pathos and also through the tickling, zany moments ! The characters are all so real and developed sensitively. Both Ishani and Lopa are awesome. Dadu is so delightful. The dancers are all magnificent! Loved that it featured the iconic Kolkata races and the authenticity of the city. This world class series empowers as it touchingly addresses diverse societal double standards. The end was a bit ambiguous ... perhaps allowing for a follow up series?

Waack Girls tells such a great story - and tells it so well. Subtle when it needs to be, big and bold when it needs to be. Enjoyed watching each characters arc unfold - they're all SO well written and acted. It's also one of those shows that feels so completely immersive - it's like you're sitting in the room with the girls, dancing with them, problem solving with them and I think that's due to the brilliant and atmospheric cinematographic. Need season 2 stat! We definitely need more shows like this - ones that tell different stories, feature different faces, and somehow still manage to capture those fundamental, universal emotions in a way that makes the most unrelatable, relatable.
