Mirzapur (2018)
Badly made and this from who gave high rating to Sacred Games and Gangs of Wasseypur
A badly acted, edited, directed, shot tv series. Script is weak, predictable and full of cliches. Dialogs are forcibly crude to sound genuine. Sex scenes are like new toys that some of these naive directors have discovered but do not know how to use them. Only two things that stands out are the location and the acting of Pankaj Tripathi. A gangster movie is not just small town location, guns, crude language, sex, and splatter of brain materials.
The high reviews either shows immaturity of the viewers or the hunger of the Indian audience to see a gangster drama that seems genuine albeit superficial.
Sacred Games (2018)
Seems like the directors lost their interest somewhere in the middle of season 2
Season 2 was a let down. The storyline is weak - although the script with clever language keeps it somewhat interesting. The main problems I see are - the series is not compelling, it does not keep you tied to the story, it does not build connection between the audience and the characters. Saif Ali Khan's partner of the first season is missed here - that is one reason Saif does not flourish in this season.
It is a good series compared to most of the crapy Indian TV series. But it fails to become a top class series that you will remember. Here is the test of a good movie or a TV series - a re-watch is always more interesting. I cannot see anyone can watch this one twice.

Feed the Beast (2016)
Like others, tried hard to like... giving up
I had a lot of expectation from this show but with every new episode it just continue to deteriorate. After seeing the explosion in the last episode, I am giving up. I wasted 8 hours
The background and set-up in the first episode seem promising. But unfortunately, the story and the script has no leg. Dialogs are pretty badly written, many characters have not been developed properly, and on top of that bad acting. Writers had tried hard to make the show interesting by introducing sudden surprise twist and turns - but these twist & turns are in-coherent and seemed forced rather than part of the story. The sudden death of the detective and then the reaction of her daughter is ludicrous. The constant flash back of the death of the kid's mother is annoying at best. Also the soft light affect in the flashback to evoke emotion makes me want to puke.
Overall the weakest part of this series is its story - I am not sure what it is trying to tell, where it is going, and what it is building up to.
