Introduction
Today Weβre discussing Family Man. Right off the bat, this is the only Indian web series that has a better second season than the first one. The mainstream series like Sacred Games and Mirzapur failed to maintain the standards and hype in the second entry. Not this time. Family Man wins the race.
Plot Summary
Family Man is about the life of a TASC spy Srikan Tiwari who puts his life in danger for the safety of the country but hides his profession from his family who thinks heβs a corporate employee. The story shows how he manages both professional and personal life, and how he deals with situations where his familyβs and peopleβs life is in jeopardy.
Detailed Analysis
The first scene is riveting, and the opening plot is fast-paced, good-humored, and riveting. Each episode strikes a proper balance between entertainment and excitement. Character development is done correctly, and several side plots are well developed. The series dropped a bit midway but found the rhythm of episode 7. The last two episodes were executed very well, taking the series to another level, with the script allowing the audience to sit in on it. edge of their seats. Manoj Bajpayee is the main credit for attracting the audience to the screen.
Manoj Bajpayee performed well. Since the first episode, his expression and dialogue have taken away every scene. As good as Sharib Hashmi, his performance is also impressive. Priyamani, Devadarshini, and Seema Biswas performed well in their supporting roles.
Samantha Akkineni as Raji is one of the best works in the series. She chose a great character and series to introduce herself to Hindi and global audiences. Samantha plays the show’s villain and is completely fair to her role. Especially noteworthy is Ashlesha Thakur, who is outstanding as Dhriti. Vedant Sinha played Atharv very well.
The shots of Cameron Eric Bryson are impressive, especially during the climax and the attack on the police station. Ketan Sodha’s background score is excellent. The Sumeet Kotian edition is clear and compact.
Conclusion
If I have to name one thing that is best in this series, then it would be the writing of the characters. Little ones or protagonists, everyone is created with attention to detail, and they exist for a reason. The villain always writes very well, which makes this even creepier. Plus, the background music, production design, and dialogue are top-notch.
