So BBC has produced this for Indian viewers and honestly it is just an average affair. This series gave me nostalgic feel of Byomkesh Bakshi due to story being set in West Bengal.

The writing and episodes have been heavily copied from original BBC tv series and they have been just modified in terms of Indian demographics. If you are looking for originality in storytelling similar to shows like Elementary then you should not watch it. But for someone getting introduced to wonderful world of Sherlock Holmes then it is ok to watch but I will not recommend it to others who have seen Sherlock before.

I decided to watch the first season only because Michael Emerson was added to this project and I had really liked his previous work in "Person of Interest" which in my opinion was a really one of the best SciFi crime drama of last decade. And I am bit late to write this review as world was shaken up the pandemic and everyone was kind of trying to rearrange their lives. But when I started the season 2 and they showed a glimpse of upcoming episodes it really filled me with more excitement as they promised more shocking storyline as the show will progress. But coming back to review part I was shocked to see it was rated very low. I will admit that this show has taken bit longer to shape what sort of show it wanted to be and perhaps that may be the biggest reason why most of people have jumped the ship after first 2-3 episodes or may be after half the season and rated low so do not drop this show because of low ratings. Believe me when you watch the whole season then it sort of starts to show its range and character development. The story line basically deals around Church, faith, Devil and horrific deeds which are being investigated by lead actress still there is a horror tone which I had never seen in a show before and only find unique to this show. There were scenes which sometimes were really scary or uneasy to watch for me. And that is a very commendable for any horror show writer and director. I found the show entertaining and will recommend it to everyone who is into horror genre programs. May be this show took a long time to show what sort of show it wanted to be but perhaps that is how devil works it never lets you guess its main motive and that is in sync with its theme. So it is worth it. Do not be discouraged by low ratings it is far better than shows which have inflated ratings. And once you have watched it you will thank me later.

If you are not familiar with this Anime then My ADVISE IS that you MUST watch the 1st Season. Then you will appreciate this Survival Horror/Action Anime. The Movie starts off where the 1st season has ended. The movie straight away takes you to the journey and action begins. Though the premise is very simple that our Hero Tanjiro boards the train which has monsters on it. But given the length I was not sure how long the action sequences will be and the story part will be there or not. But the way story telling is done you get loads of actions and emotions and character development. The movie does not let you blink eyes for a second as the story and action happen on a pleasant pace and it keeps your interest going. The ending is not all happy go lucky but it does provides a glimpse of what is yet to come. And I am eagerly waiting for the next season to air. This movie is what keeps surprising me about anime and I recommend it for people who never had seen any anime or any movie based on it. If your mind is bored with this MUC & DC and want to watch stories with great characters and plot twists then this is one of those storytelling masterpiece.
