Hi guys,
I rarely visit IF since last few years...the day I shifted to watching webseries I was completely done with serials...
I hv watched quite a number of webseries but I cant give the full list here of course...I hv lost count...but I will certainly mention a few which I really loved and I find them worth watching more than once or even more than twice...list will be in random order since I cant make up my mind which I like better than the other...
1. Asur - one of the best hindi series (btw I watch only hindi and bengali series) both barun and arshad were really gud...i loved it mainly because i was really happy that such complex psychological thriller was so well handled by the makers...waiting for ssn2 of course
2. Panchayat - another series I loved to the core...I first watched jitendra's perf in the movie shubh mangal zyaada savdhaan and I thot he is a very gud actor...in this web he was really brilliant...i loved the show for its simplicity and cinematography....again waiting for ssn2...i hope they will retain the same cast (read somewhere they may come up with a new story and new actors)
3. Inside edge (both seasons) - i am not very fond of vivek oberoi and so i was delaying watching it...i watched the first season only last month and then i soon followed up with ssn2...both were gr8...performance of actors was above ok...actually i love watching stories based on sports especially cricket and football...
4. Kaafir - this one also I loved for its sensitive love story...the ending was sad but inevitable...dia mirza's acting was as I expected from her, i.e. total wastage of screen space (i really wish web makers make careful casting since we hv high hopes from webseries) but mohit raina was the one who hands down stole the show...his restrained perf was too gud guys...i actually watched the show 3 times only and only for mohit :)
5. Mirzapur (first season) - I actually watched both ssns but I did not like the second one mainly I think because I was missing Vikrant Massey...he is one hell of an actor....first ssn was quite gud though too gory but I can get thru that so no probs for me...loved the perfs of Pankaj Tripathy too in both ssns...
6. Family Man - Now this one if I dont mention then this list will never be complete...I loved both the ssns...Manoj Bajpayee is truly a legend...his character has quite a lot of shades and he played them with perfection...loved Priyamani and Sharid Hashmi too...the specialty of the show is its one-shot scenes which were brilliantly done in both ssns...hats off to the makers and actors for their level of commitment that is needed for such scenes...I still cant fathom how in a one-shot scene an actress can fly a plane and then the plane bursts in flames in the sky...very well executed series and I will surely wait for ssn3 though that wont come for at least another couple of years I guess...
7. Bandish Bandits - how can i forget this...I am a big fan of Naseer but this show made me fall in love with Atul Kulkarni...he is some actor...I hv watched him in movies too but i dunno why here i found him exceptional...Sheeba Chaddha was very good too...the new actor Ritwik Bhowmik was extremely gud...if this one is his debut (I am not sure) then he was really beyond expectations...Kunaal Roy Kapoor was fantastic with his comic timing....the actor that I found pathetic was Shreya Chaudhary (another wrong casting)...i am really waiting for ssn2 and i fervently hope it will come...I loved how they treated the story based on classical music...they did lots of research and this reflected in every aspect from costumes to training of actors for scenes where they are singing...my fav song was the viraah song...loved the lyrics...i was not fond of classical music but this show has made me fall in love with classicals
8. His Storyy - I actually was tempted to place this at the top of the list (although its a random list but somehow this is one of my very fav web)...let me mention here I hv a fascination for gay stories because i find the topic very sensitive and also generally the gay characters are depicted as sensitive and very adorable...wen first my sis suggested this show I was not aware who the actors are and wat was the theme..i did not google because i refrain from googling webseries before I watch them and my sis told me nothing except that its a good show worth watching...so i must say wen i searched for the show on zee5 and saw the poster i was pleasantly surprised for a couple of reasons...one is that satyadeep mishra is there whom I first saw in POW (sadly hotstar has taken off the show)...he was brilliant (this is the least i can say since i am short of adjectives to describe his perf) in POW...his eyes guys simply speak volumes...why write dialogues for this actor i dunno...and second reason is of course as i already mentioned I like gay love stories...wen i also saw that its an altbalaji i was bit upset thinking it must be full with k-drama...but the show totally blew me over...i wont say drama was missing but that did not include the 3 protagonists (thankfully)...their story was so beautifully and subtly treated I fell in love with the screenplay writer and the dialogue writer...i cudnt believe there was no loud drama wen sakshi found out the truth about kunal...wen kunal missed his bday celebration with preet, and so on...i said i cudnt believe only because it was an altbalaji...this is the only show i binge watched in just one afternoon...otherwise i cant watch a series in one day...i take 2-3 days to watch any show...this one shud and must hv a second ssn...preet's character needs to be explored more...one plus point of altbalaji is that it surely brings subsequent ssns for its hit shows...so fingers crossed...loved the chem between satyadeep and mrinal dutt...all 3 actors including priyamani did a superb job...my pers fav character is preet maybe because he was not explored much and i had to interpret his emotions with my heart...unlike many viewers i cud understand his reason and pain behind his refusal to marry kunal...
9. Aarya - another fantastic and power packed show...I am not very fan of sushmita sen's acting but she was really gud in this one...loved the revelations towards the end and i am waiting for ssn2...heard that its coming soon...
10. Special Ops - loved this one too...Kay Kay Menon is another actor i really admire...watched this many months back so i cant recall much of the story except that I loved it to the core for its sleek treatment
11. Twisted - watched both ssns long back...loved the show...VB is a very gud storyteller...my fav is ssn2 though...loved Aaryan Mathur
12. Romil and Jugal - ok i edited to add twelfth show to my list...my major reason for keeping this in my list is that this is first ever webseries i watched...u wont believe but i did not understand the concept of webseries before this...but i loved the show for the chem between Manraj and Rajeev...this is also first ever gay show i watched and i got addicted to webseries...i must sadly mention before watching this show i was very prejudiced again gay ppl and i found same sex relationships disgusting...but this show opened my eyes...i cud learn that these ppl r as normal as us just that their choice is different...Manraj and Rajeev were really gud and i was really really hoping for second ssn which never came...but now after the success of his storyy i am keeping my fingers crossed for this one too...
i wont add anymore to my list otherwise i will just hv to go on and on...but i must mention TVF comes up with some really gud short webseries...my personal fav is triplings (yet to watch ssn2)...permanent roommates is also gud
I will mention breathe but i liked only second ssn...also i liked ssn2 of out of love (hated first ssn)...
Some other decent shows r paatal lok, abhay both ssns, the raikar murder case, legal, delhi crime, code M, tandav
there r also some crap shows which i refuse to believe that i hv watched them like the casino, 4 more shots please (ssn2), rjectx (just ssn1 cant watch ssn2), sunflower (acting was gud but the story made no sense...all the subplots had nothing to do with the main murder), the final call, skyfire
done i guess...i cud go on but let me end here...
Currently started watching criminal justice
I dont hv netflix so hvnt watched nything except delhi crime
