The Family Man

First of all I am happy with the fact that now people atleast know secret agents are not like Salman Khan's character Tiger (from Ek Tha Tiger , Tiger Zinda Hai), Secret agents are not commandos who can beat a bulk of villain singlehandedly, so you can say the level of Indian Series is going up.

Now talking about this series, I liked the concept, I liked the over all story, acting. Remember one thing this series is about a family man who also works for a secret team whose main task is... Okay I am not goning to give spoilers. Directors did really well in that part , the balance of life between work and a very normal family with two cute kids.

Now the things that could be better: It started really well, 'Dance of Death' was best eposide in my opinion. Show was going really well upto this part, but then directors tried to do some thing more, tried to put more twists, and ended up doing illogical things.

Dont read from this point if you haven't watched it yet: If you have watched this then you know there was a plan B, now can any one explain me why the terrorists were not executing plan B first...?? It was easier right??

Why take the Audience for a Big Merry Go Around Ride.

Season 3 is amazing.

We love The Family Man to no end but once why leave it incomplete like Season 1.

BIG BIG DISAPPOINT on that front.

Keeping it incomplete is like a Marketing Strategy to get Audience for the next Season.

Dear Producers, PLEASE NOTE, The Family Man is a BIG BIG HIT in the heart of the Audience. You don't need any marketing gimmicks to get the Audience.

Just completed the second season as soon as it dropped on PrimeVideo and I got here to recommend you to watch it *ASAP*. All the people unsatisfied with the ending of the first season shall be satisfied in the very first episode.

With all due respect to Sacred Games and Mirzapur, both of whose first season were, in my opinion, better than first season of The Family Man, but had a slightly under-expected season 2. The Family Man, on the other hand, ups the ante and comes out a winner among Hindi thrillers in the OTT space.

Manoj Bajpayee perfectly fits into both the roles of a family man as well as an undercover agent. Bring on the action, bring on the humour, Manoj sir can do it all and how effortlessly. Watch out for. Samantha as Raji in the second season where she plays a character willing to go to any length, physically or emotionally, to reach her target.

Special shout-out to Sumeet Kotian for the crisp editing throughout the series and the directors for the brilliant show.

The show was one of my favourites. People really loved the thrill season 1 offered and over the years it has not been the same.

Started out this show was a story inspired by news stories and clippings. There was a real sense of authenticity to the story and we all felt the connection to the characters very deeply. The plot twists, character turns it offered was unmatched by any other show there.

Over the years, although it still seems inspired by real day events there isnt that level of specificity that once used to be. Raj & DK the creators of the show have focussed more on star power and commercial twists and turns over purely character based ones. The third season of the show is just that, Engaging, fast paced, convoluted but feels just like an overview not a deep dive.

Also, the Family aspect of the Family man in this particular season just feels like an excess baggage with srikanth heading out to do his own thing while the family is just limited to a few scenes with the writing seemingly weak.

Overall, a pretty engaging one but lacks that realism touch.

In most part of season 3, the villain is one step ahead but they never show how and even when they explain it seems inorganic but obvious. Too obvious that the ones being followed should know or atleast figure out.

I believe i am the first person to complete the entire series and i am pretty sure i am in no position to go to the office right now. One thing about which i am very confident about is - Its one of the best Indian TV series so far. Amazing acting, Amazing direction, Super Amazing cinematography and what not.

It was worth watching in a single go. I was completely engaged in the storyline. I would personally recommend it. Its totally different and its very much unpredictable.

Good Job Team /\
