SACRED GAMES is an intense series. The plot, the twists, the action: everything says it well.
All the episodes have something so unique that it's hard not to watch all of them back-to-back. After a long time, you get to see Saif Ali Khan, the actor and not the star. This is definitely his best performance in a no-nonsense role after a long time and he delivers on every front. Radhika Apte delivers as usual: realistic, believable performance. No doubt she's one of the best actresses we have in India. Nawazuddin... He has totally sunken his teeth and pumped life into the character of Gaitonde. Watch out for his emotional scenes and you'll be shocked by his excellence. Rest of the cast does it part extremely well.
Direction-wise, this series is splendid. Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap have done their part with perfection. Technically too, this series manages to impress given its not-so-grand scale. Dialogues have been written pretty well. Another round of applause for the action sequences; this series is loaded with intense action in every episode and every action sequence delivers white-knuckle fun.
Certain twists can come across as shocking, so be prepared. There is blood, sex, profanity etc everything which we could've never got to see as it is, had it been a theatrically released film. Sometimes the nudity aspect is overdone but it soon gets neglected with passage of time.
So if you want to see a powerful web series with plenty of story and loads of action, SACRED GAMES is just the right stuff for you. I watched this crime-action series just out of curiosity and now I will await its next season with a lot of excitement.
