So far watched two episodes and first time liked Hindi serial...completely contrasting from the regu ...

And, full of adult content.By the way, Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chasma is not bad.

And, now there is a controversy associated with this series.

Netflix will be a next big thing in India. 3-4 years down the line, Netflix will have its own parallel bollywood and will attract more and more Indian urban viewers. The good old bollywood will loose its charm (not saying that, its great today) whatever is left as of today ;)

W.r.t. Sacred Games - great screen play and acting, one will get a feeling that, one is watching western series.

Also, when reality is depicted, there's ought be some controversies

It's an interesting series, and the Kashyap stamp is obvious on Gaitonde storyline. Motwane is not so strong on nuance, but he's delivered a fair game.

I haven't read the book, though I've had it on my radar for a long time. This is just the spur to do it finally.

The supporting performances are pretty great, almost across the board. Technically the series is apt and well designed. I must say that the craft quality has gone up several notches in Bollywood, at least the cinematography, art design, lighting and editing parts. Bold, yes, brimming with cuss, yes, adult, hell yes.

Just wondering, Gaitonde's voiceover narration: is it storytelling liberty or conceit? I'm not exactly nitpicking about it, though. I'm much willing to go with the flow.

To note, it is pretty strong, has a somewhat compelling snarky, blackly comic story and notes to it. It's also obvious fodder for the impending media-politics controversy on the verge of eruption, in real life, such as it is.

My puzzlement is thus: Where exactly is the context for his narration, who is he narrating it to, when does it occur... and so on. Has anyone read the book and throw light on how this fits with the foreground plot shenanigans? I expect it all ties up by the end, at least.

What do you all feel about the theme? What do you think it is, and what of its central argument?

Superb, the first season of 8 episodes is just 25% of the original novel by same name, eagerly waiting for the next season

Nice Series.. But could do with less cuss words..

Still it provoked me to start reading the book...

Very Disappointing. Too much deviation from the core plot leads to long stretches of meaningless drama. And beware of the finale .

Very well made. The production values are superb...
