How would we have reacted if Shawshank Redemption without the retribution, or the Green Mile? The content that comes to mind at this point is Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and other such films. Traditionally, such nihilistic content has a bright, jawdropping climax that has the people walk out of the theatres with a grin вЂ“ or log out of their streaming accounts. Good people die, better people lose their limbs, and all the characters are settled in an unforgiving, corrupt world. In Sacred Games, good news is few and far between, whether itвЂ™s the first season or the second.

But you canвЂ™t have the best of both worlds вЂ“ you canвЂ™t have a depressing, nihilistic web series with an open ending. It also creates an opportunity for the next season and keeps the internet abuzz about the series for a tad bit longer. We get it, open endings are a great way to close a web series. In the second season, it seems like the screenplay is prodding along to a questionable end. The first part was gripping, and the last couple of episodes had the requisite twists and turns to exhilarate an audience. WhatвЂ™s Blah : All said and done, Sacred Games falls for the age-old curse of the second.

Amruta Subhash plays her character with elan, and makes the audience want to know more about her вЂ“ which brings us to the next part of this reviewвЂ¦ Pankaj Tripathi, as Guruji has the ethos thatвЂ™s required of his character. Surveen Chawla knows sheвЂ™s got the role of a lifetime and grabs it with both hands, giving us one of the most enigmatic female characters in streaming. Ever since the first season, SaifвЂ™s underplayed character is the perfect foil for the GaitondeвЂ™s outrageousness. Nobody, repeat, nobody could have brought the egotistical, emotional and aggressive sides of Gaitonde like Nawazuddin has. Of all the performances, Nawazuddin still stands out. ThatвЂ™s forgotten now, but this reviewer remembers it happened sometime in the 90s.ДЄlso Read : Netflix Original Typewriter Review : It is an ode to Famous Five Kids who grew up in the eighties and nineties will find themselves grinning as the screenplay and characters cock a snook at real life incidents that inspired the screenplay, including the long forgotten story about a man who claimed to have created the perfect son by controlling all aspects of the conception. The writers take all the buzzworthy instances that Bombay/Mumbai remembers to create a screenplay that has the city as much as a character as Sartaj and Gaitonde.

WhatвЂ™s wow : Sacred Games is a rapid reader course in the pop-culture of Mumbai. With new characters, more story arcs and an unending race against time, Sacred Games Season 2 should have been an intense, gripping series with a mind-blowing climax that would have made memes for years to come. The second season follows right after the first, with Sartaj unravelling a conspiracy thatвЂ™s as much about him as it is about the city he so loves вЂ“ Mumbai. With the second season now out, hereвЂ™s our complete review of Sacred Games, Season 2. It also told audiences what kind of content could come up with the freedom that the streaming platforms provided.

The first season specifically told content creators how a binge-worthy web series should be made. The second season of Sacred Games was the tentpole event for Indian streaming.
