Summary
Reviewers say 'The Family Man' is acclaimed for its compelling narrative, realistic depiction of a middle-class man's dual life, and Manoj Bajpayee's stellar performance. The series is celebrated for its humor, action, and genre balance. However, some note pacing issues, uneven development, and clichΓ©s. Its portrayal of political and social themes is both praised and critiqued. Despite these flaws, it is seen as a major contribution to Indian web series.

Great balance between crime thriller and family drama
Manoj Bajpai is a great actor and well supported by the rest of the cast. The story is great and the way they handled sensitive issues is commendable but. Give it a try. It's definitely a binge watch
Worth Watching!!! One of the best so far.
I believe i am the first person to complete the entire series and i am pretty sure i am in no position to go to the office right now. One thing about which i am very confident about is - Its one of the best Indian TV series so far. Amazing acting, Amazing direction, Super Amazing cinematography and what not.
It was worth watching in a single go. I was completely engaged in the storyline. I would personally recommend it. Its totally different and its very much unpredictable.
Good Job Team /\

Season 3 WHY WHY WHY andddddddd Why???
Firstly this review is for Season 3
My rating for previous seasons: Season One - 8.5 β Season Two - 9.5 β
So now, Everything was going so well till the 6th episode and why tf do you think that you need to have a cliff hanger like this!! You want audience to be excited for next part ok but you don't do this if you take 4 years to make next part as simple as that.
This series has everything and this season again shows everything which we expect, How some people get sold despite getting every benefit, whereas for few pride is still what matters the most...How people whom we trust can Backstab, how people we tend to think can never trust come out of Syllabus. How Corrupt Media and corporates make narratives which suits them, how real heroes are always and always the ones who are on everything at frontline on ground...
But this show has set the bars so high specially after Season 2 that even after so much in it, it somewhat feels underpar with respect to Last season. So yes with heavy heart 8 stars this time :(

In the battle between Sacred Games and Mirzapur, The Family Man wins the war.
Just completed the second season as soon as it dropped on PrimeVideo and I got here to recommend you to watch it *ASAP*. All the people unsatisfied with the ending of the first season shall be satisfied in the very first episode.
With all due respect to Sacred Games and Mirzapur, both of whose first season were, in my opinion, better than first season of The Family Man, but had a slightly under-expected season 2. The Family Man, on the other hand, ups the ante and comes out a winner among Hindi thrillers in the OTT space.
Manoj Bajpayee perfectly fits into both the roles of a family man as well as an undercover agent. Bring on the action, bring on the humour, Manoj sir can do it all and how effortlessly. Watch out for. Samantha as Raji in the second season where she plays a character willing to go to any length, physically or emotionally, to reach her target.
Special shout-out to Sumeet Kotian for the crisp editing throughout the series and the directors for the brilliant show.

Overall 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??
