Amazing acting direction

All the Actors the real world how the person is in the real world

Fun to watch Gulshan as always

Its a great show to watch the concept was really good .It reminded me of the movie "Man from the Earth" and a TED video on what if we have superpower of immortality.I always wanted a Indian show/movie to explore this concept as we can connect this to so many things in mythology.

They could have made the show a little bit smaller as sometimes it feel like story is unnecessary extended.Acting was really good.Kudos to the team

This is one of the serieses I watched overnight without break. A psychological Dark Comedy Thriller. The genre itself is unique. I haven't seen something like this before and that is a major reason why I liked it.

This is not for everyone. Typical bollywood fans kindly refrain from down-rating this show.

For all the dark comedy lovers - It's a gem.

Full marks for writing such fascinating story. Actors have done a great job. Length of episodes is perfect. Brilliant writing the way everything connects with each other.

Writers came up with a brilliant idea but messed up a big time. First few episodes are great but as the show goes on it loses its charm and main protagonist just exists there with no use in the story. Gulshan Devaiah is great but somewhat wasted and a lot of unnecessary killings in the name of dark comedy adds to nothing in the show.

If you are looking something out of the ordinary and you are fan of dark comedies then this is it. Brilliant performances specially from Gulshan followed by Heeba Shah. Great back ground score which is tailor crafted to the screenplay. Out and out it's a great show to binge watch and keeps you engaged till the end. Only drawback is that the screenplay could have been better.

It's a classic example of the story that promises so much early on only to go downhill towards the end. Afsos starts on a fantastic note with its innovative idea and brilliant acting of protagonist and antagonist but the latter episodes lack depth as director tries to do plenty of things in total duration of just around 3 hours. Story moves at a rapid pace initially and leaves much less scope for expansion later on leading to nearly one entire episode getting wasted on one unnecessary action sequence. Climax could have been better as well. All in all it can be watched for it's novel idea and performances but don't pin all your hopes on it.

Amazon did it again with the quality of content! They are constantly producing great shows constantly! Afsos is best described as a psychological cum dark comedy cum thriller! Anubhuti Kashyap ( who directed ) has a tight grip on screenplay, direction, editing, music! Veterans of Thrillers like Shriram Raghvan and in writing Zoya and Reema should have to be jealous 😅. The writing is bang on, layering the characters, and giving a very fresh perspective is the strength of the show! The dialogues are the culmination of realism and dramatic! The comedy comes with irony and it is well and organically placed! And I want to specially mention the opening credits, it has great sound and visuals and I never skipped it!

I DON'T WANT THIS SHOW TO BE CALLED UNDERRATED , SO TALK ABOUT IT , PRAISE IT OR EVEN CRITICIZE IT! BUT ENGAGE!

It's a good story with a good cast even cinematography is good but only afsos is that it all looked like a theater act most of the time mostly because of the dialog delivery or showing the reactions. Be it upadhyay ..maria or shloka. Nevertheless it's watchable.

This series is absolutely worth ur time.. Go for it.. Afsos nahi hoga ;)

It is fun series if you have time not that it worth your time.

Lead actor done pretty much good job, after watching him in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and this series, I think he is underrated in industry. Remaining Cast member do their best with little screen time or not much story to their character to develop.

It has nice dark comedy and Some illogical plots keeps story moving but also entertaining if you don't put lot of brain.

I don't get the moral if it is about loneliness, dissatisfaction, crowdy cities but it's entertaining.

I have waited so long to watch this series because it had some interesting plot that attracted me during Covid lockdown, but somehow I missed this series and watched it after a long wait of 4 straight years.

It had an interesting plot to explore but the way they represented this story especially in the 2nd half was pretty average. Anyway this show is above average at least for a regular audience. The Acting performances of all the actors were top notch and the BGM was truly soothing to ears. The shooting locations were extremely good especially those Himachal snowy shots. Action was above average especially by that badass female hitman. The dark humor was somehow good in this entire series. The screenplay was gripping and well edited. In the later half the new characters story was poorly written, that's the exact moment some people may feel boredom with it.

Overall I will consider it as One time watch.. Some offensive languages were used and some moaning sounds were there so definitely not made for family audiences but 13+ can easily go for it.. From my side it will be 5 Out of 10 Stars for it. It had some potential to be a good series with this unique mythological plot but they just wasted a bit in it..

One time watch with some different story but lots of concept r unspoken

Watch this is you have time because you are going to binge watch it anyway because of us length Watch it if you have not seen The man from the Earth because the basic concept will end up being the same behind both Watch it if you want to appreciate some good acting because this is that one thing which is actually really great

The sorry could have been more twisted, the world of on line shows is getting bigger and better and this show is a bit late to come into life at you won't be blown away by it but you will like it.

Nice storyline, gripping, entertaining but too annoyed looking at random people dying anywhere/everywhere without any reason. What a sadist way of filming the scene when inspector is asking for counts on how many of their policemen are left. If it was supposed to be funny, then... it wasn't. It's worth watching once. Nice twist in the end.

Best story.. keeps you interested all the time, many twists, lots of humour and funny moments !! A class of its own .. Must watch- you will be never disappointed.. do yourself a favor - start watching !

A good web series with a message.Every person especially the depressed soul should watch this series to understand how valuable is one's life...

Afsos on Amazon Prime is wonderful watch for people who don't mind black comedy. The web series deals with black comedy of such humongous proportions, that one will either love or hate it. If people are in good mood before watching, I am sure afsos will keep them entertained throughout the 8 episodes.

Gulshan Devaiah as Nakul a depressed young man on a suicidal streak steals the show with a brilliant performance. The rest of the support cast do their job decently well enough. The character development & story is very good to keep us entertained throughout. Karima Upadhyay played by Heeba Shah as a female hit man was a well written character.

Cinematography in 4K was simply outstanding with lots of close ups shot very well. Editing could have been a little better considering the plot. Shooting locations in Uttarakhand was simply superb. Direction, Music and production design was definitely of acceptable standards.

Had a more popular person had played the lead instead of Gulshan devaiah, I am sure the web series would have been 10 times more popular than it is now. Overall Afsos ticks most of the boxes and would have had a wider reach and ticked more boxes only if more budget was allocated to casting and certain tweaks to the storyline to suit the younger generation. A very good web series to watch with friends.

Have gone through some reviews that don't seem to like the show, i loved the very bit of erred comedy and acting/ class act.

If you have some extra free time you can watch this mini series. Each episode is half hour long. Dark comedy and unique story.

Series becomes little sluggish in middle but over all watchable.

I started watching Afsos on Prime Video. Episode 1 was slowish but at least it held the interest .. of sorts. From Episode 2 onwards the production became mediocre, melodramatic especially the scenes with Upadhya the psychotic contract killer. Not to mention the exaggerated convoluted plot.

I still felt maybe it will improve and diligently watched uptil Episode 6 when I decided I just had to give up. This series is definitely not my cup of tea. Undoubtedly though, there will be enough of an audience for this type of show.

The show starts of as intriguing, then picks up the pace pretty rapidly. There aren't many dull moments in the show. A dark satire.
