What to Know

Critics Consensus

Charlie Hunnam is appealingly roguish as the irascible Lin Ford, but Shantaram's lack of a propelling narrative leaves this compelling character stranded.

There’s not a single weak performance. Go to Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times 10/17/2022
2/5
This tale of a fallen man’s attempt to find both himself and redemption in various “exotic” lands has little self-awareness and few redeeming qualities. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 10/17/2022
It’s a languid show where not a lot happens but if you have the patience to stick with it, Shantaram is compelling enough to be an immersive story. Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu 10/04/2023
Shantaram is definitely not the show to go for if you are looking for gritty reality, but spending time with hunky Hunnam and his colourful cast of characters does not seem such an imposition. Go to Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk 10/25/2022
3/5
Yes, it’s a bumpy ride. But the evocation of the tumult of 1980s Bombay is vibrantly executed and Hunnam is a revelation as Lin, the anti-hero of this epic, who brings just the right mix of blokey physicality and sensitivity... Go to Full Review Rahul Desai Firstpost 10/20/2022
The narrative might go through its high and low points over the next eight episodes. But it’s safe to say that this gaze won’t be going anywhere. I won’t be holding my breath either – mostly because Shantaram is all duty-free perfume. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Fiona V @RT26114227 Apr 15 Amazing series of a man who escapes prison in Australia and goes to Bombay, where he lives, loves, and finds endless adventures. Please, PLEASE let there be a Series 2. This is unmissable TV. See more Melanie R. @yougotmel Feb 5 I loved it so much because I’m a Charlie Hunnam fan. I discovered also other actors I loved and I loved seeing what Bombay in the 80s might’ve been like(now Mumbai). See more Alem B @AlemBlas Jan 5 An incredible journey of redemption that invites the viewer to introspect and meditate on love, friendship, loyalty, purpose, and the decisions we make and take responsibility for. See more Miguel A. @ViktRank Nov 27 I definitely need a 2nd season See more Edward F @RT21493057 Oct 31 Yet another example of how the RT rating SHOULD NOT be the critics rating, it should be the AUDIENCE rating. F the elites and what they think - how does the audience respond? 80-something % is a much better gauge than the silly fifty-something from arrogant heads-up-their-asses critics. This is worth the watch, particularly when the shows at the top of your list have all been checked off. See more Paula M @RT40773233 Sep 2 I love this show! Ignore the RT ratings because Charlie Hunnam is fantastic in this unique story. Other characters are developed well, too, and the sets & shots are amazing. Give it a chance - you won’t regret it! Apple didn’t give this series the promotion it deserved - I only found it recently. It was a crime it was cancelled after only one season!! Also, if you liked Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy, you’ll love CH in his role of Lin Ford here also. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 See more Read all reviews
