Inside edge is a show based on the behind the scenes & workings of the much famed Indian 20-20 cricket league, the IPL. This web series paints a glossy picture on the givings or rather misgivings within the cricket league. Vested Ownership interests, power toggle, pampered players, Bookies and the betting scene, inter player rivalry, the role of support staff, player's personal lives, etc are some of the issues presented in this 10 episodes web series.
Though this is a work of fiction, I honestly believe Inside edge can't be very far of the truth. Yes cinema exaggerates all the time but it looks like the creator of the series, Karan Anshuman has mixed facts with fiction or facts with facts pretty brilliantly. The cinematography is excellent throughout the series, the game scenes look very real. Screenplay is definitely on the plus side, as it consists of many complicated plots & sub plots but presented in a rather simple way that is easily understandable to the average joe. Production design & costumes are primary reason that makes inside edge more believable.
Acting is kinda just around par level overall, without any outstanding performances, Sayani Gupta fared much better than the rest by a mile. Casting could have been a little better. Overall a good watch to all cricket-crazy fans to get a realistic peek into the glamorous world of IPL....err PPL. I know it is a fictional web series but just imagine if the writers had even 60-70% authentic stuff in their script.
