The Village

The concept is good but the taking was at its worst. The performance of the actors was purely intended for the early Doordarshan serials.

It was a slow drag serial with disgusting makeup.

We have come a long way. From free Doordarshan serials of the 80s to the 50Rs Dish serials of the 90s, from the 125 Rupees DTH for all Television sets in the same household to the 400Rupees per Tv DTH.

From the 100rupees per ott to the present 700 per OTT subscriptions.

All this development for what, to watch the same old drag serials at 100 times the price.

Got irritated with the last couple of episodes.

This show kicked off with promise, looking like something new. First two episodes were decent. But then, hit episode 3, and it just nosedived. The main guy, the hero, his acting was off from the start-too corny. And don't even get me started on the CGI; it's stuck in the '90s. Shoutout to the supporting cast, they held their own. Except for that kid girl, her acting was a bit off. Others did fine. Overall, started strong but lost its way. Had its moments, but kind of a letdown. Despite its flaws, I found myself hoping for a redemption that sadly never materialized. Here's to hoping they fix the issues in the next season.

I started watching it but lost it when the guy starts walking in the pitch-dark jungle and claims to walk for 1 and a half hours.

Later he reaches some other small town, talks to people, and starts walking back without getting any help. Dude, just put yourself in his place, why the **** would you go back empty hands, that too walking again?

Later the girl also comes out of the car, starts running around to find their dog, again in the pitch-dark place. At least pretend to hold your phone's flashlight to make it logical.

Stopped watching after those homemade plastic PPU kits and those giant luminescent flowers.

I was really disappointed with this web series. The story itself was just uninspired. It was a rehash of old clichés, and there was nothing new or unique about it. The writing was full of clichés and tired tropes. The dialogue was uninspired. The pacing was slow and uneven. There were long stretches where nothing happened, followed by sudden bursts of action that felt out of place.

The acting was one of the biggest problems with the show. The main characters were all wooden and unconvincing. Their delivery was flat, and their expressions were blank. It was hard to believe in their characters or care about what happened to them

Overall, I would not recommend Web Series The Village to anyone.

Pretty disgusting, illogical & often irritating series.

In short - A "Wrong turn" wannabe that was poorly written & directed.

While watching you'll realize that the thrill factor slowly goes below the bar & as we watch further it gets more & more disgusting and annoying, and forces us to stop watching at some point.

The dialogues, the screenplay, the narratives & the intrigue factor, nothing fascinates us in any manner.

The story feels like it was written by a 5 year old. The visuals which are expected to give us thrills turned out to be extremely awful.

We're in 2023, but unfortunately the director seems to be stuck in 1970s.
