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
Gotta say, Raj and DK are one of the torch bearers of Indian OTT platforms. The Family Man is amongst the most popular Indian series and as of writing this review season 2 has finished.
At this point there's no need to praise Manoj Bajpayee for his skills. Just be thankful he exists and gifts us with these gems and we must protect him at all costs.
One of the best things about this series is the writing of characters. Small or lead characters, everyone is paid attention to detail and they exist for a reason. The antagonists are always very very well written which makes this more nail biting. Apart from that, background score, production design, dialogues are top notch.
VFX could be better with bigger budget and sometimes there are dues ex machina happening with either event or character which is a let down but nonetheless it's still entertaining, sometimes shocking with sprinkles of comic moments.
Lastly, The family man is a must watch show and ironically not family friendly.

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.

Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.
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
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.
