Mike F Nov 26 It was very disappointing and in some areas amerture. The locations were good, the acting was fine and even the plot contained an interesting storyline. How could the full force of the law miss the chance to apprehend a suspect because they were drinking tea? Next they were falling behind at an incredible rate when chasing the suspect couple. I must also state my surprise at the scarcity of traffic during the chase. A shame as I was really looking forward to it as something different.

In the process, the makers do tend to overly humanise the Indian police force, usually known for its brutality and hamhandedness. Shefali owns this one, by the way.

The episodes will wring a full range of emotions out of you, including terror, despair, rage and elation. Bollywood movies fantasize about Robocop heroes that smash through walls and wipe the floors with villains, as a representation of the ideals that their own failed real-life police forces should have been. This series shows the alternative is possible - sincere, determined hard work by cops, following the law and order - leading to iron-clad convictions and the delivery of justice. It is very heartening that the series makers tried very hard to stick to the real case facts, and mirrored their characters on the real heroes that brought these animals to justice. These law enforcers showed the world that even in the deeply corrupt sub-continent, it is possible for justice to be served swiftly, without fear or favour. In terms of pacing and shooting, this series is no less exciting than any police procedural drama from the west. Every episode is tension-filled as you silently and fervently wish for the police to succeed in seizing the suspects. It is also interesting to see the psychology of the good and bad guys explored carefully, instead of a robotic telling of facts. We get a glimpse into what makes all these folks tick, showing that nothing happens in a vacuum and that everything begins from a place of deep conviction.

It really brings the whole situation to life with excellent performances from the police officers, who portray an underfunded department swamped and attacked from all sides of society. The three-dimensional portrayal of the rapists is fascinating as well, and the five day hunt to track them down is thrilling and impressive in how quick it was. Everyone should check out this show, Indian or not. It's without a doubt the best Indian TV show I've seen and 100% deserves its Emmy! See more 03/15/2020 'Delhi Crime' is not a perfect series: the level of blood and gore is disturbing and there's just no denying that it shall especially shake the patriarchal sentimentalities. But at the same time, there's just no denying that it is an unpredictable thriller, gripping and moving I'm equal measure. Shefali Shah, Rajesh Tailang and Rasika Dugal star in main roles in this beautifully important web show that's a masterclass on how the world works... visually. See more Read all reviews
