Summary

Reviewers say 'Paatal Lok' features strong performances, especially by Jaideep Ahlawat, and a dark, gritty storyline addressing societal issues like casteism and corruption. Many commend its originality and thought-provoking narrative. However, some criticize political bias, weak plot development, and excessive foul language. The series' slow pace and lack of suspense are points of contention, alongside its realistic portrayal of flawed characters and inclusion of sexual content and violence. Reactions are polarized, with some considering it a must-watch and others finding it average.

Good story, amazing acting

Really enjoyable serial. The characters had real depth and the whole thing was quite entertaining.

Underrated gem

At first I was ignoring it thinking it's just some discount Mirzapur show. Also I believed the whole "Anti Hindu" controversy and thought it's also like Ashram or something like that. Turns out I was wrong. I watched it on the last day of my Prime subscription and I binge watched it in one sitting of 10 hours. After watching it even Mirzapur looks like Hum Saath Saath Hain.

DON'T PAY HEED TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS!

It seems like the series is attracting a lot of negative reviews from biased and fascist sections of the population. Don't believe them, this series is definitely worth watching. The series shows things as they are happening in India, which cannot be classified as propoganda. A brilliant series that is essential watching.

Amazing. True Detective Season 1 in Indian setting.

I can't help but seeing this as the True Detective Season 1 in Indian setting.

Everything is not as it seems and there's so many layers to these secrets. Even the protagonist is a flawed character but trying very hard to finish this one particular make or break case.

Just like the True Detective, the protagonists need to solve this case to the very end, no matter what it unravels. Kudos to the writers, directors and actors/actresses and all that made this show possible.
