Mirzapur

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!

Loved it. Mirzapur is something Raw and new... Pankaj Tripathi who is the protagonist is way par and one of the best actors of modern times. The story direction casting everything was upto the mark. I rate Mirzapur 10 on 10. And eagerly waiting for the next season!🔥🔥🔥

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.

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.

Finally got around to watch season 1 of the infamous Series. So many Top notch performances, great writing & unabashed display of never seen before level of Gore. Pankaj Tripathi gives a Marlon Brando level performance, he is a National Treasure !!!
