The Family Man

Jack Ryan, which also happens to be an Amazon original used to be my favourite action/drama series until I saw this masterpiece. This series is very realistic and an exciting take on spy based series where the spy drives some old messed up hatchback and not an Aston Martin. The series also shows how the underpaid job of a spy affects Sri and his family. 10/10 would recommend. Doesn't matter which country you're from

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 /\

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.

Gotta say, Raj and DK are one of the torch bearers of Indian OTT platforms. The Family Man is amongst the most popular Indian series and as of writing this review season 2 has finished.

At this point there's no need to praise Manoj Bajpayee for his skills. Just be thankful he exists and gifts us with these gems and we must protect him at all costs.

One of the best things about this series is the writing of characters. Small or lead characters, everyone is paid attention to detail and they exist for a reason. The antagonists are always very very well written which makes this more nail biting. Apart from that, background score, production design, dialogues are top notch.

VFX could be better with bigger budget and sometimes there are dues ex machina happening with either event or character which is a let down but nonetheless it's still entertaining, sometimes shocking with sprinkles of comic moments.

Lastly, The family man is a must watch show and ironically not family friendly.

Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.
