Summary
Reviewers say 'The Family Man' is acclaimed for its compelling narrative, realistic depiction of a middle-class man's dual life, and Manoj Bajpayee's stellar performance. The series is celebrated for its humor, action, and genre balance. However, some note pacing issues, uneven development, and clichés. Its portrayal of political and social themes is both praised and critiqued. Despite these flaws, it is seen as a major contribution to Indian web series.
Featured reviews
Changing scenario in Indian storytelling and combining it with visuals is the product called THE FAMILY MAN.
What a gripping story, initially I thought same old spy story but man i was wrong, this story is as real as it gets in the real world. Wonderful cast well directed and acting credit goes to all especially Manoj Bajpayee stole the show.
Hope this is not a one or two seasons kind a thing this should get at least 4 to 5 seasons...
Totally enjoyed and every one should watch it.
Manoj Bajpai is a great actor and well supported by the rest of the cast. The story is great and the way they handled sensitive issues is commendable but. Give it a try. It's definitely a binge watch
After delivering an award-winning and extremely successful The Family Man Season 1, Raj & DK along with Suparn Varma perfectly created an engrossing sequel. The sharp writing, well-choreographed action sequences, impressive performances, and gripping screenplay are the major highlights of the show.
The opening scene is absorbing, initial episodes are fast-paced, humorous, and engaging. Each episode is shown with the right balance of entertainment and thrills. The character development was rightly achieved and various subplots are opened well. The series drops a little bit in midways but it catches speed from its 7th episode. The last 2 episodes are well executed & it takes the series to another level, the screenplay will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The credit of keeping the viewers hooked to the screen majorly goes to Manoj Bajpayee.
Manoj Bajpayee delivered an outstanding performance, right from the first episode he steals every scene with his expression and dialogue delivery. Equally good is Sharib Hashmi, he also delivered an impressive performance. Priyamani, Devadarshini, and Seema Biswas are fine in their supporting roles.
Samantha Akkineni as Raji is one of the best things about the series. She has chosen a great role and series to introduce herself to the Hindi and global audiences. Samantha plays the antagonist in the series and does complete justice to her character. Special mention for Ashlesha Thakur, she is excellent as Dhriti. Vedant Sinha as Atharv plays his part very well.
The cinematography by Cameron Eric Bryson is breathtaking, especially in the climax and the attack scenes at the police station. Ketan Sodha's background score is excellent. Sumeet Kotian's editing is crisp and compact. The series ends on a great note with the promise of a stirring Season 3.

Just completed the second season as soon as it dropped on PrimeVideo and I got here to recommend you to watch it *ASAP*. All the people unsatisfied with the ending of the first season shall be satisfied in the very first episode.
With all due respect to Sacred Games and Mirzapur, both of whose first season were, in my opinion, better than first season of The Family Man, but had a slightly under-expected season 2. The Family Man, on the other hand, ups the ante and comes out a winner among Hindi thrillers in the OTT space.
Manoj Bajpayee perfectly fits into both the roles of a family man as well as an undercover agent. Bring on the action, bring on the humour, Manoj sir can do it all and how effortlessly. Watch out for. Samantha as Raji in the second season where she plays a character willing to go to any length, physically or emotionally, to reach her target.
Special shout-out to Sumeet Kotian for the crisp editing throughout the series and the directors for the brilliant show.

I believe i am the first person to complete the entire series and i am pretty sure i am in no position to go to the office right now. One thing about which i am very confident about is - Its one of the best Indian TV series so far. Amazing acting, Amazing direction, Super Amazing cinematography and what not.
It was worth watching in a single go. I was completely engaged in the storyline. I would personally recommend it. Its totally different and its very much unpredictable.
Good Job Team /\
