This is probably the third Indian series I have watched. All the ones I have watched have been of high quality. This series continued that strong streak. The series was multi-leveled and in a good way raw. The characters were believable and the actors were good. The series was somewhat emotionally cruel, but was ultimately warm at its core. I also appreciated the fact that there were only six episodes. This was quite enough to create depth, atmosphere, flow and still be slow burnish. I don't know, but this little bit reminded me of True Detective and I cannot quite point on why. It is also interesting to follow the cultural differences.

The best thing is the honest and accurate portrayal of Punjab, its culture and language. Though people don't use that much foul language, that's typical of any Netflix series based out of India. Still, the characters are local, and the shots are scenes in authentic villages. The story is OK but could have been improved. Other small personal stories of characters are neither related to the ongoing investigation nor are they much captivating-however, outstanding performances from all the cast members. Despite the average story, I would give eight stars for the originality shown. Small actions or scenes make you believe that characters are local and authentic.

There has been a slew of series in the past few months that are trying to cash in on the Indian public's thirst for police brutality. While some shows have added nuance and turned a critical eye on themselves and shown some sense of self-awareness, this show drops the pretence and goes all out to woo the people who like to watch liberals get beat up black and blue by police bros who don't give a damn about procedure or laws.

But despite gleefully carrying police brutality on its shoulders, this show could've also come up with a great story about virulent toxic masculinity in Punjab and delivered a great social message. But why do that when you can deliver a smorgasbord of pulp fiction tropes, drizzled with copious amounts of violence and gore for the brain-dead zombie consumers of Indian OTT.

Please don't fall for the hype and avoid this pathetic excuse for a show.

Generally am pretty lazy to write feedbacks/ reviews but when I saw folks rating this series as low as 1 felt its unfair for the viewers who deserves to watch this intriguing and touching human drama of realistic emotions and suspense. Pls note you will not be able to predict the outcome and mystery until last few mins so pls watch it. Agree it slow at times and not fancy and nonsense like Abbas Mastan movies but who cares when you get to see great acting skills and an original writing. Very tight direction great dialogues and camerawork. This work is far better than recent pathetic movies getting aired with big names like Khans and Kapoors. Thank GOD we have OTT contents for viewers like us. Well done Netflix. I could have rated 8/ 9 but coz of its slow running pace will stick to 7.

Loved it, yes I agree that it is a slow burn content, but what else you expect from suspense based crime thriller??? Those who are complaining I think they do not have ever watch mindhunter..now coming to the content, starting episodes were very engaging and I liked the subtle comedy between the characters..mid episodes I did find were bit slow might be due to lack of much twist or hooking point towards the end..I did find kidnapping segment useless..and best part about the series is how it ends..climax is ok, it won't disappoint you much.. there is a good resolve for each character at the end..which makes you feel good.
