What the Folks (2017–2022) User Reviews

Daily stories you immediately identify with

[punkajjaju · 9/10 · 13 December 2017]

Smartly written and handled. Day-to-day nuggets which you can identify with.

The acting is good, the situations are oh-so-natural, the direction breezy.

Good Series

[shovonbhattacharjee · 8/10 · 17 April 2021]

The storyline of the series is good and acting is superb. Like this series, enjoyed a lot.

Relationship goals

[devs_sarkarr · 9/10 · 29 June 2019]

This realistic and sweet tale shows the nitty-gritty of relationship between in-laws and husband & wife....Anyone in Indian family set up can relate to this tale. Also season 2 shows how to be a perfect mother-in-law for her son's wife....Season 1 tells how to be a responsible son-in-law and how a father-in-law should behave with his daughter's husband. Season 1 also highlights the chemistry between jija-saali (not in the bad light though)...Quite an amazing tale...Waiting eagerly for season 3, if at all!!

Simple yet effective

[sajalpandya · 10/10 · 3 November 2018]

Lovely stories which you can related to and lovable characters.

An Affectionate Tale

[clearwinner · 10/10 · 21 April 2018]

It is a sweet tale but very very nuanced. Watch out for the climax in the 5th episode, it is delightful. Good Production Design, Fantastic Cinematography, the chemistry between all the lead actors was simply phenomenal, literally everybody is acting in a scene, 4 people in one frame and everybody ws reacting for a particular action, there are many such moments which is very very real. Writing is bang on.

A Web-Series to watch when you feel low.

Framedy (Family, Drama, Comedy)

[arpita-kulkarni · 10/10 · 27 January 2022]

With Dice media's essence, this framedy is quirky, empathetic, and depicts the life of almost every Indian family with millennials kids (now getting married). The struggle is real as they set out to manage the their parents, the in-laws and themselves in this zaalim duniya (translation: cruel world). The simple things like a talk with fam, a convo with elders, their "tips" on keeping the life boat afloat, and the feeling of having each other no matter what, keeps he show going. Totally loved this one!

This was specifically very relatable to my family, the parents and 2 daughters with the elder one married. At times we went "arre arre what is this personal attack?". We all watched it together! Loved the show.

Top Notch!

[paryagtaneja · 10/10 · 8 July 2019]

Brilliant acting, story and the screenplay. Way better than daily soaps!

Must watch.

[debojitdhawan · 10/10 · 12 February 2022]

This show is simply so brilliant. I came across it quite late when they dropped the trailer of the final season. 1st season dealt with managing the in laws in a very light, quirky mood, 2nd one grew a bit complex, 3rd one talked about falling out of love and moving on and this one, Akshita and Anita both taking mature decisions and how Indian parents deal with it. The relation shared by Nikhil and Akshu is really underrated, I just love the bond they share. It's a must watch.

Family Goals

[sagarunofficial · 10/10 · 31 January 2022]

WTF is the best relatable series by Dice Media. Acting by Nikhil and Anita is lit and their chemistry is just super awesome. All the characters in the show make u feel like their own family and have given pure justice to the show. Even the songs in season 1 was lit. Gonna Miss this show a lot as this is the last season.

Great show if you haven't seen similar before

[tabseriksson · 6/10 · 5 May 2022]

WHAT THE FOLKS is relatable and lighthearted and the acting is superb. I LOVE the handheld camera which makes you feel right there with the family. Honestly though watching the first couple of episodes I feel like I've seen this all before. It's the same story told hundreds of times before, and there just wasn't enough of a difference between this show and other TV and film to keep me coming back, which I'm sorry to say as had I seen this show first I would have given it a 10.

Must watch

[swathya-66470 · 10/10 · 22 September 2018]

The entire series is simply amazing Veer has done a gr8 job 👌

Good start but horrible end

[manasnanavaty · 5/10 · 21 September 2022]

The story starts off well and it's on peak somewhere in Season 3. From there on, it's downhill.. Key Characters go missing arbitrarily. Like Solankis are completely no show in Akshu's wedding (WTF!!). The story started with Nikhil and Anita but at the end, they are just faded on side in Akshata's wedding. Nikhil's dad had early onset of dementia but there's not a single news in Season 4. The story focus keeps shifting as they move along. So does their economic prosperity. Not to forget the constant barrage of advertisements of different products every 10 minutes, as if the YouTube ads are not enough.

Awesome!

[qpid_strikes · 9/10 · 22 October 2018]

A fresh look to an Indian series. Love the normal feel of a home and relations. Great work!

Go to series.

[jayakrishnaspeaks · 9/10 · 27 April 2023]

So heart warming ,relatable and thought provoking series. They have portrayed different stages of life , from different perspectives the process of evolving together above all difference of opinions and outlooks. I am sure the wierd in laws dynamics and process of fitting in will be quite relatable to most of the viewers. So is the contradictions of outlook between generations and eternal fights, arguments and reasoning for personal space. They have beautifully expressed most aspects of family dynamics carefully blending in progressive ideas to making sure to bring audience on to the same page. Can't help it saying they did a great job in blending all the promos well without making viewers annoyed and lose the flow. Good work.

Wtf!

[sakshimorankar · 10/10 · 12 February 2022]

Definitely one of the best web series!

[jatinsharma-71898 · 10/10 · 14 February 2022]

This series teaches you a lot about life. This is a must watch.

From the beginning of 1st season, you get so involved with the characters.

I always recommend this web series to all friends and family.

The creators of this show have really done justice to the show.

Simply amazing!!

Perfect Show according to me

[bartwalkartikey · 10/10 · 12 February 2022]

My star rating describes the show. It is quite heartwarming and will bring a smile on your face... Definitely recommend it to people. The level of role portrayal is so good that you would feel like this is a real time family stuff going on.

Good

[abhilashaa · 9/10 · 20 January 2024]

Very cute family drama Nikhil Akshata their family are the main characters and it was done in a very cute way. NIKHIL's family was a bit serious where Anitha's family was a bit chill but not in that way because his father always tried to make jokes. The first season was very entertaining as I really liked Prakash's character but after that season he was not visible in the show but he made a lot of good jokes that was really sassy

9/10 because of a lot of ads.

Simple, somewhat entertaining, but overrated.

[aradhitapyne · 5/10 · 20 February 2022]

The story is simple; it revolves around the daily happenings of the Sharmas and Solankis. Anita and Akshata's father was damn funny and cracked up foolish jokes. It's entertaining to some extent; a loving chemistry between Nikhil and Anita, a bubbly family bonding, problems with Shreya's marital life and how she manages to stay happy after all, Akshata's savageness and naughtiness was lovely... Watching this series will not make you disappointed, but, I somehow feel that the series is to much overrated.

Showing the best way to deal with problems in your life.

[prayaspoudelu · 10/10 · 12 February 2022]

I have no words to express my love to the crew, artists, writers and all of the members of this series. We all have been living our life with all these dramas. We made good and bad choices. The presenter of this series tries to recreate the same drama and show us the good way to deal with it. It is a tough job. The concept is clear. Decide wise and live the moment of your life. Only the sad part is of this series is, this is the final season. :( Anyways, Love from Nepal.

Relationship Goals & Mad Family

[kanishksharma-04325 · 9/10 · 20 February 2022]

It's a show filled with humor, love, care and respect for the family. Cute little fights which are the part of a healthy relationship can be seen throughout the series.

Season 1 shows how in-laws provide special treatment to their son-in-law where season 2 goes with the changes a daughter-in-law wants to make in herself to be liked by her in-laws.

Season-3 is more like a typical Indian melo-dramatic family sequence which will force you to roll on the floor, laughing.

The finale season of this series disappointed me a little as the lead actor was missing in some important parts of the show.

But, if we look at the overall series, it's a blast.

What the Folks! - A coming of age webseries.

[monicamahima · 8/10 · 3 December 2018]

This is one of those light-hearted webseries'. When you have binged tons of serious shows about drugs and all things gory, this one is striaght up a comic relief. In addition to being light-hearted, it is also thoughtful and it successfully addresses many social issues. Its basically a good watch.

Family tale

[shitijmore · 9/10 · 23 November 2023]

One of the best family series i ever watched till now. Characters are just awesome and the story line up is wonderful. I would have rated it 10 but there was a replacement for Anita's father or else the series would have been more entertaining as the old one left a strong img in the 1st season. Unfortunately the series ends at season 4 but need season 5 badly. Many good things are bought forth such as adoption, parental mentality etc. I loved the character of Nikhils father and Akshata even Anita each one of them were different in their own way but I feel season 5 is needed as many things are yet to be revealed.

Awesome series

[anandaarti-07946 · 10/10 · 25 February 2022]
