Mirzapur 1 and 2 are just fire
But Mirzapur 3 does not meet the standard and vibe of the grand Mirzapur series. The season 3 is a very slow burn drama. It lacks a gangster feel. The series picks up pace after the 7th episode.
Review contain spoilers
The very first problem is the ending of S2. it ended like a dead end to the legacy of tripathi. Audience cant think what will happen next.
And S3 lacks a strong vibrant character like Munna bhaiya. There is still a huge gap of Munna bhaiya which we thought would be filled by Guddu, but the character lack that aura. First episodes seems more like a drama. The problem is even though Guddu rules Mirzapur we cant see that power and the character lacks purpose. The vibe of Mirzapur was ON when Kaleen bhaiya returns at the end of 10th episode, its sad that the character was not much utilised in this season.
Some characters we saw in the sub plots and side stories became the main part of season 3. Since the audience have only seen them as side charcters they were not connected with those characters.
