When I watched first episode, I was not that hopeful and it took some effort to continue. Having watched so many Sherlock adaptions already, this one felt unnecessary and KK appeared to be out of role and overacting. But as series progresses, you not only adjust to his style of acting, you also start to appreciate the background, the 90s setting and all the characters.
The stories are all adapted from original Sherlock stories but have that Bengal touch to it that still gives these stories some unique flavour.
The climax is good and though it starts to become obvious as end nears, it's definitely not entirely predictable and manages to throw in a good surprise.
I definitely recommend this series for anyone looking to enjoy a series during a relaxing evening.

Rohan Sippy and Srijit Mukherjee's direction in Shekhar Home is a perfect blend of suspense and humor. They've created a unique atmosphere that feels both tense and playful, making the series a joy to watch. The attention to detail in the setting and character development is impressive, and their ability to balance multiple storylines without losing focus is a testament to their skill.

Love KK and Mr Shorey as actors. Infact love every actor that appeared in this series, even the ones who did cameo roles were brilliant. The story sucks you in and keeps improving in even episode. Thr mystery remains till end and the twists and brilliant and almost unpredictable even for a mystery crime savant like me who has read every Agatha Christie book more than a few times. The series is very atmospheric, easy gentle paced (still thrilling) and reminiscent of olden golden days of Byomkesh Bakshi. The best part was there was no political, woke or religious agenda pushed at you, which is refreshing in this day and age. The music is SUBLIME, just like this series and we, the audience want MORE of it please.
I don't understand. Why we settle for cheap copy paste. Why can't we be original like Byomkesh Bakshi? May be stalwart like KK Menon needed money, but do we realise how all this impacts Brand 'Bharat'? Brand KK Menon? May be people who are going gaga over this haven't seen the original yet. Once they see the original they'll realise that there's nothing much to offer in direction, story line and even acting (as one needs to just copy the character). I started watching it and quickly realised the references from original are not just references, they are exactly lifted from the original show (Sherlock)
Kay Kay Menon ! I am his fan so no words to describe his acting. In the begining you may find it boring or stereotype but my friend wait till the end there are many surprises. I was not happy with the name but it was justified so well. Overall everything works so well in this series. Direction, acting and most important the series is based out in 90s and they have shown us with very low budget you can create such a wonderful series.
I would love to watch Menon again in such roles and I hope BBC will continue to produce another part of its there.
Lastly, if you love crime solving series, this is for you. Please don't compare with Benedict's Sherlock home and enjoy over Indian espionage Mr. Menon.
Go for it !! That's my word.
