Aug 3, 2018 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic There's beauty in the way that all of this sinister intrigue is conveyed, but it's a surface-level telling of a story that wants to have so much more in its grasp. Jul 10, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane deliver a thriller that doesn't shy away from being an indictment on religion. The show argues that religion has always been used to shape politics, commit murder, and amass wealth. Mar 11, 2019 | Full Review… Poulomi Das Arré It may be "just" television, but it's also pushing forth important representation. TV is going global - and Sacred Games is just one way viewers can expand their worldview. Dec 28, 2018 | Full Review… Kaitlin Reilly Refinery29 I suspect Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane's exquisitely performed screen adaptation has subconsciously been translated by writers who might have internalized the social undertones, subtexts and latitudinal beats of the 928-page drama. Dec 20, 2018 | Full Review… Rahul Desai Film Companion Reviews Yeah, you've heard [this] story before, but Sacred Games weds it to a fresh, intoxicating setting. Sep 4, 2018 | Full Review… Todd VanDerWerff Vox Immediately captivating, its story in the criminal underbelly of Mumbai coiled like a labyrinth.

Jul 20, 2018 | Full Review… Taylor Antrim Vogue It wasn't predictable and provided something out of the ordinary compared to the plethora of other crime thrillers available. Jul 19, 2018 | Full Review… Staff New Zealand Herald Flashing between past and present, the first episode left me in some confusion, though there was no denying the fevered atmosphere it conjured up.
