Watching a Hindi tv show for the first time in decades, The Family Man on Netflix. Counterterrorism stuff, kinda like Homeland. Very patchy, but nice to see pretty modern TV with global sensibilities in Hindi.
Watched 1 episode, didn’t like it. Not a fan of Saif Ali Khan, worth persevering?

He’s the worst part of the show for sure. It’s weird, I would never watch it if there were more contemporary drama shows in Hindi, but because of the sheer novelty, that saw the whole thing. In any other world, the writing is extremely uneven

I think the dialogue writers of these shows are pretty lousy... they seem to think throwing in a lot of gaalis makes it authentic, but then mess up fairly simple shit like throwing in doordarshan-Hindi words into what should be Urdu etc.
