As the stakes mount and Sartaj seeks knowledge of his prey, it becomes clear that the game the two players thought they were engaged in is in fact part of a much larger scenario, one that expands beyond their city.

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 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… Joanna Hunkin New Zealand Herald 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 Yeah, you've heard [this] story before, but Sacred Games weds it to a fresh, intoxicating setting. Sep 4, 2018 | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff Vox Immediately captivating, its story in the criminal underbelly of Mumbai coiled like a labyrinth. Aug 14, 2018 | Full Review… Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya Thrillist Bollywood maximalism meets downbeat Euro noir meets Hollywood gangster epic. Jul 20, 2018 | Full Review… Taylor Antrim Vogue Flashing between past and present, the first episode left me in some confusion, though there was no denying the fevered atmosphere it conjured up. Jul 17, 2018 | Full Review… John Boland Irish Independent View All Critic Reviews (24) Audience Reviews for Sacred Games: Season 1 Feb 26, 2019 I'm a fan of both complex crime dramas and quality modern Indian cinema and Netflix really delivered. Captures the gritty chaotic city perfectly! Beaver M Feb 10, 2019 This TV series is phenomenal in every aspect. Anurag Kashyap is the best when it comes to Indian cinema.

Jan 09, 2019 Its pretty good but gets boring at times. FYI I'm not the hugest fan of dramas so take this with a grain of salt. Its a nice dark story though and it looks like it will continue into season 2. Riff J Nov 06, 2018 BIG JOKE. They have tried to make a good series but it got boring with every episode.
