This movie is much more than the famous early 21st century scandal and the actors chosen to portray their respective roles are undoubtedly best placed in every moment. For me, this movie was not just about embezzlement of funds but more than that, the two minutes of agony that Dr. Frank Tassone(Hugh Jackman) had against the system and the world was the highlight. Although shown as a negative character, I could empathise with the actions taken by a public school teacher and how frustrating it is to be a part of a system where people instead of appreciating their mentors, forget and move on in their lives. The movie is about the mindset that the people in public service develop over-time, which is what compels them to do things that even they consider heinous. A frsutrated person tries to reason out with himself that his actions are justified and this is what drills him deeper into an abyss of negligence from which it is unable to crawl out. It all comes down to the role that we are expected to play in this world. We often forget the small, yet significant contribution of some people in our lives. That is why we should appreciate the people who help us in becoming who we are today, otherwise the other Dr. Frank-s won't have an option but to repeat the history again and again.

There has never been a show - written, directed and acted upon so beautifully. Everyone and anyone can relate to this show in so many ways. The most amazing aspect of the show is its pace. I never felt the show was running too fast or too slow, because it rolls at a pace as the life of gen-pop rolls. This show is a mirror to the beauraucrats and the people in power for how things have been and are being handled in the current scenario. It made me aware about so many things in life, which we know yet ignore everyday. Mostly the show deals with the ill-effects of drugs and how they harm the society in more ways than they destroy the person who uses it. In the words of the Godfather himself, "But drugs is a dirty business..." The show is able to touch every corner of the city and make us aware about the world from perspectives of different walks of life. I would recommend everyone to watch this show - especially the ones who cannot live without drugs - to get a glimpse to behind the scenes of a world which is blowing up in the air in form of bong, powder, pill or a joint.
