After Scam 92 this is another Hansal Mehta Masterpiece. Excellent story telling that keeps you engaged with stellar performances by Karishma Tanna, Zeeshan Ayub, Deven Bhojani, Prasenjit, Harman Baweja and many other class actors. Karishma Tanna proved that she is much more than her glamorous and beautiful looks while Zeeshan Ayub was spell bounding as Imran as well as the pivotal actor in the show. It was great to see the cute Mr. Deven Bhojani from Dekh Bhai Dekh fame after long, Prasenjit did well in a small guest role. Directors like Zoya Akhtar need to learn direction & story telling from Hansal Mehta. Though it's a depressing story, it has a positive ending with redemption from the dark world of news for the lead character.

I don't know where do I begin from to praise this amazing work. Adapted from Bernard Cornwell's 'The Saxon Chronicles', the series is a master piece. I watched it 5 times in the binge, I lived as Uthred of Bebbanburg and became a die hard fan of every character in the series. Every seasons gives you a new adventure, new characters & something to miss. I wish some of the characters were not killed or died. Alfred the great played by David Dawson was one of the best TV characters I have watched till date. The Lady of Mercia, leaves you in tears as she leaves Uthred forever and the actress Millie Brady left me in love with her forever. Some of the other amazing characters we will always miss are that of Father Beocca, Aethelwold, Gisela, Lord Odda, Leofrich, Steappa, Brida & Aethelred. And last but not the least Alexander Dreymon leaves an impression by carrying ahead the difficult and cplex character of Uthred. I am waiting for 'Seven Kings Must Die' impatiently and wished this series never ended.

Pathetic, over blown, extremely flashy, fake series. Pritish Nandy can definitely come up with something so gaudy. This seems more like trying to be desperate houswives or Sex and the City. It's totally wannabe and mixed up crap . The series does not have a story line or doesn't make sense, just running around with the lives of 4 grown up but immature women, some of whom are spoit rich brats trying to justify crazy actions and blaming men for everything and anything. Some good actors like Jim Sarbh and Sushant Singh get crumpled and wasted in the casting and poor direction. Skip this for sanity.
