Made in Heaven (2019– )
Disappointing S2
14 August 2023
S1: 8/10
  • Too depressing


S2: 6/10
  • Every episode feels like a chapter being studied out of a textbook (Ch.1: colorism, Ch.2: domestic abuse, etc.). It becomes tiresome and predictable.


  • The depiction of Karan's drug addiction was so cliche, I felt very bored watching him go to a club, gamble, etc. We didn't need 4 -5 sequences of him getting high.


  • Jazz and Kabir's relationship seriously lacked chemistry. Super boring.


  • The Jauhari family plot line was very poorly executed. Felt very choppy. None of the characters and their belief systems were believable, and the dialogues felt like a fever dream.


  • I am losing track of Karan and Meher's many romances and partners, I felt my head spinning trying to remember whom they met where and when.


  • Faiza was a very interesting character but her constantly bringing up the divorce didn't build tension like it should have.


  • The addition of Gauri to the show could've been more interesting.


  • Wanted more of the Khanna family drama and more of Tara's divorce.


  • Overall theme of the show felt very preachy, which would've been fine if done better.


  • I don't feel invested in any of the sad storylines, like Karan's mom, Jazz's brother, Adil's dad's death, etc. Not enough emotional connection built.


  • Kabir's character is very irritating, and his storyline was just not necessary (gf breakup, career struggle, etc)


  • I don't get the hype around Mona Singh's acting as Bulbul Jauhari. She was introduced as a change maker at the office, but she never really estaished herself as a powerful part of the team or a force to be reckoned with. She was brought in with cheery music in the background a jump in her step but I never witnessed her actual cheery personality.


  • I liked how Tara became more morally ambiguous as she tried to make weddings happen for the benefit of their company even at the cost of the bride.


  • I liked the wedding plot of episode 3, could've made it more dangerous though. Episodes 4 and 5 were boring.


  • I didn't get to see much of the tiny luxurious details of the lives of the rich when it comes to wedding planning.


  • A lot of the actual wedding planning parts had a lot of shouting, complaining and hassle and that was it.


  • Raghav doesn't feel like an interesting rebound for Tara. Too tame, doesn't challenge her in a way that's interesting on the screen (other than his demure personality contrasting her coldness).


  • Tara's scenes with the purse, cab, helping Adil's mom and her niece, going to the art exhibition, etc felt nice but not cohesive.


  • Pallavi's brother's hesitations weren't ever resolved?
