Amazing treat for sherlock fans. If you are watching this after being a fan of elementary then you wont be disappointed. Kay Kay Menon sir and Ranvir sir are an absolute delight. The direction is fantastic and background score is good.
The suspense buildup is good. It is the first time that detective series of such good quality has been made. The character of sherlock and watson has been accurately depicted with such simplicity. It has been beyond my expectation. With no much hindering about it has short episodes and hits onto the point. All the supporting characters have been played flawlessly. The character of irene played as iravaty has been magnetic too. I am eagerly waiting for season 2.

I don't understand. Why we settle for cheap copy paste. Why can't we be original like Byomkesh Bakshi? May be stalwart like KK Menon needed money, but do we realise how all this impacts Brand 'Bharat'? Brand KK Menon? May be people who are going gaga over this haven't seen the original yet. Once they see the original they'll realise that there's nothing much to offer in direction, story line and even acting (as one needs to just copy the character). I started watching it and quickly realised the references from original are not just references, they are exactly lifted from the original show (Sherlock)
Watched this series with low expectation.. And watched it for KK Menon and Ranvir Shorey and they didn't disappoint. Every episode has a different detective story except the last two episodes which are interconnected.
At first I thought it would be a adaptation of Sherlock Holmes series but it's not. I repeat it's not.
There isn't any big mystery or something in every episode but they were decent and it won't bore you.
Although there is a bit of shocker waiting for you in climax which gives this series a bit more breath of fresh air... Otherwise I would have given it 6/10 had it went on expected lines..
Enjoy 🍻

When I watched first episode, I was not that hopeful and it took some effort to continue. Having watched so many Sherlock adaptions already, this one felt unnecessary and KK appeared to be out of role and overacting. But as series progresses, you not only adjust to his style of acting, you also start to appreciate the background, the 90s setting and all the characters.
The stories are all adapted from original Sherlock stories but have that Bengal touch to it that still gives these stories some unique flavour.
The climax is good and though it starts to become obvious as end nears, it's definitely not entirely predictable and manages to throw in a good surprise.
I definitely recommend this series for anyone looking to enjoy a series during a relaxing evening.

Kay Kay Menon ! I am his fan so no words to describe his acting. In the begining you may find it boring or stereotype but my friend wait till the end there are many surprises. I was not happy with the name but it was justified so well. Overall everything works so well in this series. Direction, acting and most important the series is based out in 90s and they have shown us with very low budget you can create such a wonderful series.
I would love to watch Menon again in such roles and I hope BBC will continue to produce another part of its there.
Lastly, if you love crime solving series, this is for you. Please don't compare with Benedict's Sherlock home and enjoy over Indian espionage Mr. Menon.
Go for it !! That's my word.
