Shefali Shah’s Delhi Crime 2 - out now. Review added - Page 2

Loved the series. I am a viewer who has not watched S1 and even then it was gripping to me. Have always been scared of watching S1 given the theme and the plot which makes me relive the memories of reading about the horrific crime committed in 2012.

Coming to S2- all the actors, esp. Shefali, Rasika, Rajesh Tailang and Tilottama were excellent. I loved how they showcase the numerous problems a police force has in a city which has both the affluent and the marginalized. Even in the show there are various instances that show how lack of privilege can affect your chances if you are in the grip of the police machinery.

My only gripe is that in certain situations the use of English seems out of place and excessive.

The show certainly needed more episodes, they made a sudden jump from the initial red herring to catching the actual criminals involved. They didn't ease us into the transition so smoothly.

The ending was again unexpected. Will this show have more seasons? As a police procedural, it is quite top notch. Hope it does!

Do watch S1 too. It's well made. And better than S2. Though S2 is good too. Very few web series have had subsequent seasons equally gripping.

I admire Shefali as an actress and will most likely watch the show. I'm hoping it's not as bad as her previous web series Humans. It was too pretentious.. and I didn't like the series masked political agenda. A Hindu Goddess devotee was portrayed as the devil, and a Muslim was portrayed as the Saviour!!

This was just awesome!!!

Sheefali is such a wonderful actor... i mean she shadowed vidya in jalsa nd Alia n darlings

Not bad web series --- actually quite decent execution. As one of members said, one of the major issues was the excessive use of English and lack of proper transition from the regeneration of an old gang being used as a shield for the criminals in this case to nabbing the actual culprit as the episodes narrate the case story. I would've liked to see 1-2 more episodes, though, in order to have a better transition and nabbing the criminal red-handed (kinda felt rushed).

But, other than that, the way the case was unraveled and the lack of materialistic items and the woven dreams which were ignored + the controversial (even though, it's subtle and dismissed quickly amongst commoners) reactions amongst people can give rise to criminals. Speaking of which, the old adage of how certain people are considered as "born criminals" and the reaction to it has been nicely executed and is quite visible throughout the scenes w/o explaining it in the viewer's face.

Also, it was nice to see decent exposure of some of the police officer's lives and how it's often intertwined with their professional lives. I kinda felt bad for Neeti in that such her husband is such a selfish jerk despite himself being a military personnel. Like come on! Neeti was much more interested in solving the case since her domestic problems did nothing but eat her mind up. I'm not saying there should be a work-life balance but not respecting one's space & being selfish was completely stupid on Neeti's husband part. What he failed to see is that she's also trying to balance both but isn't perfect and prioritized his money/savings. Ughh!

Shefali was stellar as the team lead and had no-nonsense behavior but was also concerned about her team members both on the professional + personal front. I can relate to her character as my own mentor in my company has a similar demeanor which I like tbh and gets things rolling but also not losing the human side of ensuring the team members' wellbeing.

Tillotama did a decent job as a criminal and the show did a decent job as to explaining the reason behind her criminal activity.

Decent but not as good as first one. Excessive use of english where it is not needed at all.
