    Gripping Series

    A well attempt decent tamil series 👌🏼 can safely watch with family. I watched this series in a single seating and didn't forward any of the scenes tbh. The entire cast did justice to the screenplay in my personal opinion all of them are equally good on screen. Naveen was good as well. I think the flashback scenes could have trimmed hahaha.. Please bring more series like this since Amazon is known for canceling good series. Just checking if anyone can tell who's the dubbing artist because I'm hearing same voice over for all the female actresses. Felt like one voice used for all the female actresses.

    Not perfect but good.

    It's not perfect but definitely has soul and is a very decent watch.

    Cliched yet bold twists keep you on the toes but then some parts feel like you have seen it all way too many times. Same tropes, different story.

    Acting is refined and fresh and note worth for all actors involved.

    Particularly loved the man vs nature segments but couldn't help but wish that the mythical elements didn't drag as much as made it more interesting, which did not happen after Episode 7.

    I would recommend the show even if you are not dazzled as easily.

    Good concept but could have been much better.

    Enjoy it but don't expect much.

    A Captivating Blend of Mystery, Folklore, and Social Commentary

    "Inspector Rishi" is a gripping Tamil series that seamlessly blends the elements of a crime thriller with the eerie atmosphere of a supernatural drama. Set in the remote village of Vanarachi, the series follows Inspector Rishi, a sharp and determined detective who arrives to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, only to find himself entangled in a web of ancient traditions, hidden secrets, and supernatural forces.

    The series masterfully captures the essence of rural India, with its stunning visuals and atmospheric soundtrack creating a sense of both beauty and unease. The performances are commendable, with the actor portraying Inspector Rishi delivering a nuanced portrayal of a man grappling with the complexities of his investigation and the clash between modernity and tradition.

    The narrative expertly interweaves the procedural elements of a crime investigation with the chilling mysteries of the supernatural, keeping viewers engaged with its twists and turns. The series explores themes of faith, superstition, justice, and the challenges of reconciling ancient beliefs with modern perspectives.

    While the series occasionally relies on familiar tropes, it manages to create a unique and captivating atmosphere that keeps viewers hooked. The character development is well-executed, with each episode revealing new layers of complexity and depth to the inhabitants of Vanarachi.

    Overall, "Inspector Rishi" is a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers and supernatural dramas. Its compelling characters, intriguing plotlines, and atmospheric storytelling make it a standout series that will leave you wanting more.

    Gripping show that loses its Grip

    I must say that the show started off really well, especially with the backdrop of an eerie forest and village near it .Even the opening scene was pretty dope. Inspite of few cliches like the troubled past of the lead detective, the subordinate not approving with the senior. We might start guessing the story plot somewhere by the 4th episode, but you'd watch it still for the good narration. However the show drags on unnecessarily and is maybe a couple of episodes too long. Some of the side storylines were too cliched and could have been made better. Overall a decent show that has different yet not unique plotline, great camera, decent acting by the characters, and is definitely watchable.

    Interesting but a slow drag!

    How is that a show with a good plot, decent acting, good direction makes it such a slow burn. The series has a good but predictable storyline, and is gripping at times. But what is the most annoying is that it is sooo slow. This show has 10 episodes but it could've easily done well in 6. The back stories of the characters are good but integrated poorly. One scene would be absolutely gripping and then randomly cut to a back story which had absolutely no connection. Those random cuts in the scenes are so jarring and takes away from the viewing experience.

    The actors have played their parts well. The cinematography is beautiful as well, capturing the hilly montages perfectly. If only they had edited out the silly backstories and made the plot line more tight, it would've been brilliant . The story inherently is quite engaging but takes too long to get to the point. I was forwarding all the backstory portions because they contributed nothing to the plot line.

    Overall a decent series which could have done with lesser runtime and edits.
