MASSIVE FAIL 👎 LETDOWN I was honestly hoping this to be just as engaging as the Netflix docu based on the same case. But now I think they never should’ve made this series and let that docu be the one for this case. The ‘story’, I mean, the crime still unsolved is sensational but this tv series treatment makes it seem to be so superficial and never really gives us that thriller/ suspense feel which the story demands. It just is a vapid drama that keeps oscillating between three time periods.. none making us glued to the screen. 🥱 There are three different time parallels in this making it all the more confusing for the viewer.. 1. The present (after the crime) 2. The victim is still alive (before crime) 3. The trial (much later after the crime has taken place) To match that incoherence, the acting by everyone is all over the place. Firth’s accent switching is atrocious to the ears. One can clearly make out he’s not an American English speaker by his way of pausing while talking. And Toni Colette almost makes us root for the victim to get killed 🙄 she’s a ditzy woman.. she (her character) seems to have no brains and comes out as a silly, and very frivolous.. we never know who she really was before the crime. The supportive cast of Stuhlbarg, Schwarzenegger, Turner and (and one lady attorney character with horrible Southern drawl) others all come off as stock characters which honestly could’ve been played by anyone 🤷‍♀️ not one character makes us root for them or keeps our interest on them. The screenplay and the way it’s shot itself doesn’t hold our interest. Terrible direction. I’m gonna watch this once just ‘cause I already started to mainly because of the 7/10 rating on IMDb (which I think is way too overrated) but I honestly think you should skip it. Thanks for reading.

Superficial entertainment fluff piece One look at Masaba Masaba, and quickly I'm wishing it were more like Keeping up with the Kardashians, where the camera just follows the real life and day-to-day happenings of the family. But this is a scripted show where famous people are playing different characters! 😳😑 I didn't sign up for this. Masaba Gupta is very real, genuine; so is her mother. They are very likeable, unlike the ladies they've got on board to do cameos (Farah Khan, seriously!?!). They are such a unique mother-daughter duo, with interracial, generational differences and what not. There was so much potential to unearth some genuine mom-daughter issues, single-parenting issues. Yet they go ahead and make this contrived masala fluff piece. 🙄 I had hoped to see their actual life, their real life on reel, than this "cool" , scripted show with some well known ott actors (And why's that girl from BuzzFeed here? She's pretty well-known by her real name. Her whole storyline didn't come across genuine at all). I just don't see the point of this show, just as how it is now. Perhaps, season 2, if there is one, will be more personal. Ps: Thanks to 1.25x speed on Netflix, I could watch the whole series. I had to, sorry.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend for crime TV lovers. Watched the first two on one day, the last one was the best out of three. Gripping, but at times flat, could've had at least two more hours of episodes, made it more suspenseful. But didn't feel cheated or disappointed, got the entertainment I was looking for. 👍👌😃 Always love mob characters (Michael Franceze), documentaries, etc (my all-time favourite show is The Sopranos). 💓From India

Great songs, good acting (although in some places Simbu is just blank), but too tired storyline. It's the same old boy loves girl, girl doesn't respond initially, then declines arranged marriage and finally says yes to him, boy gets involved in work, can't give her time, girl thinks it's best to break it off as he can't give time, and she agrees for the same old arranged marriage. 😤 Now, haven't we already seen this over and over again in indian cinema? Over the 2 hr 36 min stretched out storyline, I found myself asking "isn't there any way they can work it out and be together?" There are many couples in real life who have struggled and strifed and still made it through! The male character is the problem. He is written as a guy who has not yet found his place in life, he's too beta, not a firm guy who knows his wants (He just acts like he knows what he wants when she returns his love, but can't commit or give her time. He even abuses her!!). Maybe that's why it ends the way it does. However, thanks for making this movie for the songs, but no thanks for the same old story and rather bland acting. 🙄

This show is super bad, with super bad acting, casting and storyline. God, such a drag.
