Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 06/15/2023
Avinash Arun’s series, set in fictional hill-station Dalton Town, delves into one of the most common human weaknesses, and comes up with a bunch of troubled, twisted individuals who feel real. Go to Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in 06/15/2023
The show emphasises the danger of unresolved issues, childhood trauma and proclivity for repeated behavioural patterns, but opts for visual impact and specific surprise...the lead performances are moving... Go to Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 06/15/2023
4/5
School of Lies is a sensitive, affecting and assiduously crafted series that packs a massive punch. Go to Full Review Santanu Das Hindustan Times 06/15/2023
School of Lies makes a good case for trauma dumping, without an iota of sensitivity and nuance. The more questions you ask, the more it becomes bitter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Flixster F @RT77094268 07/14/2023 The plot is a bit unusual for Indian series and it could have been a great experience. Unfortunately, the execution is very flawed. Different timelines isn't new for me, but many have been confused because of it. The writers haven't been able to put it together nicely enough. While most of the questions are answered by the end, one thing isn't clear to me still. Vikram tells Bhola that he killed his son Chanchal. However, Chanchal is shown alive at the end of the series and I'm not sure if I missed something or if it's left for Season 2 (if at all it's gonna be made). As for the performances, Aamir Bashir is excellent and Nimrat Kaur is good in general but overacts in the last episode. Others are passable. Overall, this supposedly 'inspired by true events' can be skipped. See more Read all reviews
