It is like the desert that Rachel makes. Everything "good" but put together "tastes like feet". The new Hoichoi series by Anirban has done it so much better. It keeps you glued inspite of adhering to the original story to the T with powerful dialogue and no unwanted exaggeration.
Abir fails to catch the essence of Byomkesh, I don't know how he kept getting the role for almost a decade! Desparate twists that lead to the same conclusion.
