S02 : Season 2 is a sequel of the first season where it is shown that Shrikant Tiwari has left his job at TASC and works in a company of sales. He is shown very disgusted with his job and his mind always revolves around the whereabouts of TASC's mission. The story starts by showing a group of Sri Lankan Rebels training in their hideouts and camps and they all are preparing to revolt against the Government because they want to form their very own Government. They are very hostile towards the Indian Government and they conspire to attack the Indian PM during her meeting with the Sri Lankan PM at the assigned location. Many connections are shown in S02 from S01 as Major Sameer and Sajid are a part of this plan and are shown joining hands with the Sri Lankan Rebel Chief which indicates something big is going to happen. The main plan was to attack the location of the meeting with a helicopter full of explosives in which they appointed a trained fighter pilot, named Raji to fulfil the desired task. Getting to know about all these things happening around, Srikant leaves his job and joins TASC again to save his country one more time. They become successful in foiling the plans of the Sri Lankan Rebels and destroys the fighter jet in which Raji is eventually killed. Sajid after fulfilling his mission returns to execute an unfinished business with Srikant Tiwari but is killed in an encounter. But things doesn't end there as Sameer is still alive and he will go to any extent to achieve his mission. In the last scene it is shown that another Mission is being planned at China Town, Kolkata which gives a hint towards Season 3.

S01 : Well, I never expected this type of a show which showcases the lives and struggles of an IIT aspirant in the small city of Kota to premiere on YouTube. Honestly speaking, "Kota Factory" has levelled up to the expectations and it was a fabulous experience being able to know the real picture behind all the institutes where they run more before money than paying heed to the requirements and excellence of the students. That's how the students get caught up in this rat race and are striving each and every day to be better than yesterday. It also displays that the institutes give less importance to the lower batches of their coaching and as a result of which the students in the lower batch acquire less knowledge and have less problem solving ability than the upper batch ones. Hence batch partiality is there in each institution which makes the students the real sufferers and also they start self-doubting themselves. There is a continuous competition between the institutes like from which institution most of the rankers will be selected and they are given extra privileges which I think is unfair. Students get entangled in these internal politics of the coaching classes and after much striving might end up in the top batches. This does not end there then the cycle moves on from another institute to another and in this way the parents end up spending a huge sum of money for their children in the hope of a seat in IIT but that doesn't guarantee their selection. Thus the whole story is about the students of Kota which has been shot completely in black and white to make it more intriguing. S02 : Season 2 has taken a step further from where it left in Season 1 and has dived deep into the factories of Kota i.e. none other than the coaching institutes. We get to know more about the institutes' politics in Season 2 and the mental pressure one has to go through for JEE Advanced after clearing JEE Mains. Students also suffer from diseases like Jaundice because of the unhygienic environments and food they dwell in. Some parents also visit their children for some time in order for them to recover completely from the ailment. Some teachers resign from the coaching classes to start their own private institutions because of the dirty politics revolving around the renowned institutions in which they used to teach. When any teacher becomes very popular among the students and gets huge respect from the masses, the other institutions try to bribe those teachers to join theirs, and in case the offer is turned down, they try to foil their future plans as a teacher. It is also shown that the rankers can be bought by the institutions at huge prices like 10 lakhs which in turn increase their business by 1 crore anually. The institution from which the top ranker is selected in JEE Advanced, their business increases by 20 crore anually. It is also reflected that the students who couldn't clear the JEE or have failed to get a seat in IIT, end up trying to suicide. Thus, Season 2 is a step ahead into the educational business of Kota and Season 3 is arriving soon because there's lot more to unveil.

Well this was the first Crime Thriller Web Series which I witnessed having some really intricate instances which are enough to play with your mind completely. The plot is being quite flawlessly written where at the end of each webisode, a new door of clues opens and you get your gut feeling going for the next webisode. The story revolves around an MBA student who also drives the family cab part time. One night he picks up a girl who was very frustrated and he had to bear with her tantrums which eventually made him miss a party. Gradually they become very close with each other. After waking up in the middle of the night at the girl's house, he found that the girl has been murdered and he has no recollection of the past events. He is found guilty of murder and ends up in jail where with the passage of time he becomes accustomed with the life in prison and other prisoners. The series shows the brutal life in a prison and the politics that's being played within. It also delivers a strong message about the country's legal system that how much one has to go through, literally hell even if he/she is innocent. The climax also displays some vital clues and motives related to the murder that will make your jaw drop. The series has 10 episodes which are near about 40-60 mins long each. Acting of the main and supporting actors is really promising. The direction is also a thing to commend which has depicted a Foreign Novel on screen quite nicely.
