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.

The good bits (Manoj Bajpayee’s acting, dysfunctional family plot, depiction of Hindu-Muslim endemic tensions, beef lynchings) are pretty good, and the bad parts are pretty bad (terrible depiction of tech, pretty bad dialogue, though Bajpayee redeems his bits)

Correction: It’s Prime The action scenes are pretty amateurishly done. Clearly low budget. The support cast acting is terrible. Plotting is pretty taut though.

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.
