From a Western woman's perspective, and as an American who spent time in India 20 years ago, I REALLY enjoyed this series. It reminded me of Breaking Bad, but not quite of course. I thought the acting was excellent and the story-line shocking and compelling. I loved the female cast. Highly recommend. I can't wait for season 2!
I think this series presents a window into Indian life and culture that Westerners will find intriguing. I especially enjoyed the mother-in-law's character. Although there is some violence and sexual innuendo, it is not as much as seen in Western shows which I really appreciate.

Intersting and intense story and acting. But the end is very illogical and incomplete. There are examples of good ending on one series with offering continuity ... It seems series is relies without completing with end episode due to some issues in production. Acting is very good by everyone. Build up of story episode by episode in very good so one keep continuing watching episode by episode but feels cheated with incomplete series end which is frustrating that why have I watched it till end .... Just like bus dropped you before your destination stop and asking to wait for next bus without schedule , no information when and where to get next bus ....
Anwar Says: Dabba Cartel,Crime centred around women, an intriguing subject , and of course with manipulative partners. Here you'll watch desperation and frustration and hardly any violence. Web-series is good in parts and at some stages looks unnecessarily dragged .
All the women characters have given stellar performances and Shabana Azmi is the coolest. Gajrao Rao as honest Government Officer is excellent, Sunil Grover is visible in the last episode. Technically, the series is solid , particularly the cinematography. Creators Shibani Akhtar and Gaurav Kapur have been able to run two parallel stories together and making them meet as and when needed.
Another story has been built up for a second season and hope it would be more gripping.
Watch this season for Shabana and Gajraj Rao.

Dabba Cartel has a good plot but could have been executed in a much better way. Some scenes felt forced, and profanity was excessively used, making it seem unnecessary. The background score was a major letdown, why turn it into a rap when a more intense, gripping score could have elevated the tension?
That said, the series isn't all bad. The performances are top-notch, with Jyotika and Gajraj Rao delivering compelling acts.
The narrative focused more on the personal lives of five women rather than the pharmaceutical company, which, while unexpected, was the only element that kept me hooked. The show had potential but missed the mark in execution.

Good series with bad ending. Seems like the makers ran out of ideas how to end the story. The inclusion of Sunil Grover's character towards the end was forced and didn't add the zing to the story. Another female lead character was terminated without enough cause. The story took an abrupt turn towards the end. With some questions unanswered, it seems the makers have left the door open for season 2.
Apart from the story, action, screenplay, acting, dialogues etc are good and worth watching. One time watch, if you have nothing more interesting to Another thing, too many unnecessary abuses. In order to add reality and credibility to the story, the writer has added many abuses at different places. Some seemed forced. The message would've been conveyed without them.
