Worth watching but rating grossly inflated by excited Indians who are judging by different standards!

At the time of writing, this show has an average rating of 9.1, making it grossly over-rated compared to other TV series and Netflix shows. I would say a fair reflection of its quality compared to other international shows is 7.5 to 8 max. I've only given it 5 stars to lower the average but I would probably give it 8 as 7.5 is not an option!

I'm not very familiar with other Indian TV series but this seems to break new ground in a number of ways including its depiction of religion and sex. I enjoyed it but it never made me stay up all night binge watching as I have with numerous other TV series.

I watched over half of it in the default UK audio setting which is (dubbed) English and found the differences in the dubbing and subtitle translations to be amusing but also distracting. It was much better when I switched to the native Hindi dialogue with subtitles.

score 5/10
