Master Peace

Upon viewing the series promo, I held notably high expectations for it. The series demonstrates a commendable effort in seamlessly aligning colors, objects, and characters with a distinct Wes Anderson-esque style, where characters are symmetrically positioned at the center of the screen. This aspect of the production is almost on par with the director's signature aesthetic.

However, what dissuades me from considering the second season is the deficiency in humor, the timing of dialogues, and an overarching narrative with a lack of a robust plot. While I genuinely applaud the creators for their innovative approach, there is a clear need for enhancement in the content to captivate and retain viewers. My best wishes go out to the team for their future endeavors.

For instance, in a similar context, viewers have praised Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" for its meticulous symmetry and visual style Yet, even in his films, the humor and dialogue timing are crucial for audience engagement.

The high-wired acts were a delight to watch. Maybe, it is the adage "seeing someone else's mother or family going madder by every second can be a cause for someone else's joy" is what makes this series fun. I believe this series didn't need such a star-studded cast. There are other's who could've been cast and could have elevated the spiralling of the families with their natural inclination. I liked how effectively they destroyed balance of those two old couples. Seeing this series made me wish someone would resurrect Akkara Kazhchakal format or the light humor it had with the energy of certain characters in this series. Things I didn't like at all was the incessant messaging, the voiceover sound, the highly artificial set and the young couple. Maybe, parts of the story was formulated with the intention to fit with the international platform's overall position on certain things, but such compromise is not required, not all languages do it, take French language TV-Series and Movies for an example. Fun should have been the only criteria for making this series.

"Masterpeace" boasts an impressive ensemble cast, but the film's script and acting are marred by a plastic and overly loud quality. The production team has clearly drawn inspiration from Wes Anderson's distinctive style in terms of production design and character portrayal. However, they falter in establishing the humane and relatable comic connection with the audience that Anderson excels at.

The film's characters appear to be overly stylized, lacking the depth and emotional resonance that would make them truly engaging. The dialogue might be witty, but it often comes across as forced, failing to capture the natural and endearing humor that Anderson's films are known for. This results in a disconnect between the characters and the viewers, making it difficult to empathize or root for them.

The visual elements, including the camera work and art direction, mirror this stylized approach. While Wes Anderson's films are known for their meticulous and quirky aesthetics, "Masterpeace" seems to mimic these elements without capturing the heart and soul that make Anderson's work so beloved. The art direction may be visually striking, but it lacks the warmth and authenticity that can draw the audience into the story.

In essence, "Masterpeace" falls short of successfully emulating the Wes Anderson style, as it lacks the essential human touch and genuine comic appeal that Anderson effortlessly weaves into his films. While the cast may be formidable, they are constrained by a script that forces them into artificial performances, and the visual aspects of the film fail to strike the right balance between style and substance. As a result, "Masterpeace" may leave viewers admiring its aesthetics but ultimately feeling detached from the characters and their journey.

The home decorations are quite impressive, adding a visually pleasing element to the setting. However, the screenplay falls short of expectations, leaving much to be desired. The humor in the show is, unfortunately, lackluster and doesn't resonate with my taste.

I'm genuinely puzzled by how this series managed to achieve an IMDb rating of 6.3, as it doesn't align with my personal preferences. It's clear that there was potential for significant improvement in various aspects of the production.

Regrettably, my disappointment with the show grew as I watched more episodes. After viewing the initial three episodes, I found myself so disengaged that I resorted to fast-forwarding through the rest of the series to see if it would redeem itself in any way.

Pilot episode started kind of slow. But then it got really interesting. It was more of serious conversations rather than fun. A little more of fun would be appreciated. I thought this was just 1 season thing like Kerala crime files, but how it ended I'm waiting for the next season. When Roshan came it was really funny, wished he would have been in this season itself. Anyway waiting for the next season. Aa a series fan I always want more malayalam series.

Every one played their part really well. Jude and Sharafudheen are my favorites. And Shanthi krishna was really good with that song thing. Maala parvathy little overacted sometimes.
