Brinda -drama series review

When i saw the ad for this series, Trisha was the primary reason that hooked us onto this. She looked very old despite the best effort from her make up team and i started watching the series with literally no hope after getting to know that she was playing a police inspector. The first episode ended in an intriguing note and the series literally took off from the next episode onwards. For starters more than the individuals, it is the work that has gone behind the story board in making the investigation process interesting, has lent more teeth to the storyline. The way each of the murders are linked and how it keeps on getting extrapolating makes interesting viewing for sure. What starts as a serial killer case, becomes a major case of mass murderer and the reasoning behind all those killings is quite novel to be honest. The director does a tight rope walk on a knife's edge in many cases where religion is involved and makes sure that he is not branded as favoring any one in particular. The guy who serves as the weapon for the mastermind in achieving his means is awesome in his role. His backstory is shocking and is quite emotional. Overall the series is a harsh take on superstitions and how each one deals with it in their own way. It also talks about nature vs nurture in its own way and how each one copes up with their loss and perceived loss in their own way. There are several logic misses in the way the events turn up, but if you set them aside, it is a nice thrill ride all the way. The ending is quite predictable. The step sister character arc is a waste and would have benefited in making the series taught had it been removed. But overall, the series makes an interesting watch and is quite racy. A good binge watch over a weekend.
