The Family Man

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.

What a series! Mind blowing acting, screenplay! The last scene of the last episode, it sounds like another season will come surely.

The family man.

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

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??

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
