Four More Shots Please (A Pretentious Prime Original) is a vague attempt at making a feminist show. We Indian, I must say have a very wrong notion about feminism. This show is supposed to be portraying women power in a fresh light but ironically this show is filled with cliches and cringe-worthy one liners which we are now already very used to seeing in Bollywood. This show is filled with desperate innuendos to make it look more "progressive". The plot is mired with some very one dimensional and shallow writing. And lastly about men in this show. Though I have no problem with strong female characters and I also know that in a feminist show you shouldn't really expect male characters to shine but this show fights "male chauvinism" with it's own version of "female chauvinism". Men are mere ornaments for a good orgasm in the show, which is exactly what Bollywood is known for (just with the roles reversed). Total disappointment from the writing.

Edit - The above review only portrays the cons, which I believed would be the right way to criticize the show at that time, but looking at it's meager rating now I feel like I should add some pros too. There are very few things which I liked about this show. One being the performances, especially by Kirti Kulhari. Another being the music. In spite of having an inconsistent and flawed script, it manages to pull a pretty decent finale.

Four More Shots Please! Season 2 (web-series) review :

Damini, Anjana, Siddhi and Umang!

#FourBesties

Yup, they are back with a new season of Four More Shots Please - a desi version of 'Sex and the City' which found a fair amount of bouquets as well as brickbats in its first season. A mixed reaction, to put it bluntly!

Anyways, Season 2 has our ladies pick up (their lives) from where they left off and re-unite at their fave 'Truck Bar' for the mandatory tequilla shots and profane chatter highlighted with hastags!!

#FWordEverySentence. Oh yea!!

Sids (Maanvi Gagroo) gets over her breakup tamasha and attempts stand up comedy, Dee (Sayani Gupta) is chasing a real life scandal for her controversial novel, Anj (Kirti Kulhari) deals with a new misogynist boss while Mangs (Bani J) is supporting her depressed lesbian partner (Lisa Ray, gorgeous as ever) suffering from bipolar disorder.

#GirlGang

While the lead performances are sincere, it is Sayani and Kirti who stand out. Sayani Gupta is impressive once again as Dee. This chameleonistic actor can fit in to any role effortlessly. Kirti Kulhari pitches in yet another super fine act. Watch the scene where she gives back to her boss indulging in petty politics. Or a later episode where she resists her drunk hubby.

#Sheroes. Both of them.

On the other hand, the male cast comprising Milind Soman, Neil Bhoopalam and Prateik Babbar is one dimensional and strictly okey dokey.

#MenSuck. Offo!

Production values and other technical aspects are decent. The catchy title track is carried forward from season one. Ditto for the swear words se bhare dialogues.

More of a guilt pleasure watch, the new season of Four More Shots Please will appeal primarily to millennials and the SoBo crowd. Conservatives and NoBos, please stay far far away!!!

#LockdownTimepass

P.S. - Theres a twist at the end hinting at a season 3. Probably next year. That's ofcourse if these alcoholic promiscuous quadro are able to survive booze and casual sex during these Corona times. We hope!!!

On one hand Amazon Studios has given us shows like Bosch and on the other hand invests money in "creators" in India who are pretentious bunch of hypocrites who can't write a good plot to save their lives. Time for Amazon to start anew in India and this time, hire actual talents and not a bunch of pseudo-progressives.

Women empowerment = Cussing, having drugs, acting like a constipated screeching idiots.

If you're going to harp on the good ol' muh patriarchy again, at-least don't act like complete hypocrites in YOUR OWN SHOW. It's absolute cringe. At this point, it's almost like when they sit to write the show they have only three ingredients. Sex, cussing and, more sex. Because that's all the talent they have. Acting like loud mouth degenerates does not make this mess "progressive."

Avoid like a plague for your own sanity.

Could not see beyond ep 1. Most women certainly aren't obsessed with sex drinking drugs et al as depicted on this show. Made by Pritish Nandy Productions who don't have a great track record of making memorable films. In one word.......AVOID!!!!!!

Kudos for making a show like this. There are four relatable characters, no insta love, no creepy stalker love interests and most of all not basing every problem in their lives around their relationships.

I really enjoyed the series though I am very disappointed by the length of the season as there are many important threads left in cliffhanger too abruptly. My primary issue with the show is that it takes inspiration way too blatantly from a variety of Bollywood/ Hollywood movies and tv shows. A lot of the concept can be traced back to sex and the city. The pool scene involving lawyer and her intern is copy of a movie. This is the primary reason why I have deducted 3 stars for lack of originality. However despite that, the show manages to provide enough entertainment after being repackaged into an Indian style women focused show. Some of the low rating reviews here are misleading and reaffirm some of the issues highlighted in the show for e.g. some users are slut shaming siddhi's character. Over all I do not think the show is trying to convey a deep message and focuses more on the fun aspect of all the characters' life, so one should not read too deeply into it and the flawed arguments and imperfections of these characters just make them more realistic and relatable. I personally recommend this as a lighthearted comedy/drama watch and will wait for next season.

Every once in a while there comes a show that realigns the contours of entertainment. A show that redefines the plane of artistic brilliance and creativity. Four More Shots Please! Is not that show.

The show was projected as an exclusive female project and hence no one had any illusions regarding what the story line would be. The trailers laid to rest any remaining doubts. I finished the entire season this weekend not because it induced binge watching, but because I did not want to write a review without fully exposing myself to the ordeal.

The show basically chronicles the adventures and misadventures of four young women living in Mumbai, as they wade through troubled waters infested with a plethora of personal, professional and mostly silly issues.

All the characters in the show are copybook stereotypes with no depth whatsoever. Imagination and detailing are conspicuously absent. The script is poorly written and the direction is equally bad. The dialogue in turn is ordinary and drab. There is no humour except for some poor jokes that are even more poorly delivered by the actors on screen. The acting ranges from medicore ( Sayani Gupta) to horrendous ( Bani J). While, no one ever presumed that the actors in the series were seasoned method actors, the expectations were inflated given the hype created around the show.

Prateek Babbar makes the sound department look bad, for every time he speaks in English, one cannot understand a word he is saying. Instead of creating relatable characters who are imperfect and believable, we have here finely chiseled individuals who smack of superficiality.

The director very poorly oversells feminism and women empowerment by adopting all the hashtags and buzz words around, and manipulatively inserting scenes and injecting messages that are ridiculous. As the season progresses one can clearly make out that all the protagonists are unprofessional and entitled individuals who have not yet matured despite their contempt for other immature individuals.

The show bears an uncanny resemblance to most American sitcoms that you may have seen and all the sets and locations are designed in such a way to pass off Mumbai as an American city. I couldn't help stare with wondrous eyes at the plush and posh looking "houses" (yes, houses not flats) where almost all the characters live. It now seems most of my Mumbai based friends are living in indigence.

The background music is pretentious and does little to redeem the show. All in all, the show doles out a liberal helping of mediocre content and hopes to cash on popularly trending themes that are transient in nature and hollow in body. Not looking forward to season 2.

My wife had a fever, so we were in the house all day and stumbled across Four More Shots on Prime. WOW!

This is an incredible series. Each character offers a great POV - the cinematography BAM - the acting INCREDIBLE - the direction, TOP-NOTCH. There is a fun balance between drama and comedy which is always appreciated.

This show discusses various social taboos with nuance, from the heart, not in a preachy way. I really hope your entire team gets the recognition you deserve. Thank you Cast & Crew for offering such great content to our world.

PS: Also, special shout out to the LGBTQ+ stories/characters this show features. As lesbian women, my wife and I have both been through a lot of difficulty in our lives dealing with homophobia and so these stories were received with special gratitude. Please keep highlighting these characters and giving them a bit more screen time would be amazing.

Good show with an updated concept. Ideal selection of star cast. Good performance but average implementation. Also ending should have been better. But overall worth a watch.

Pathetic acting, story and direction. It's a waste of time to watch this ... Well not sure what to call it.

A must watch show. All have done great acting. And story is really good. I don't know why people are posting negative reviews for such a good web series.

There's a good character build up as the series progresses, this is meant for very niche audience which exists only in Delhi or Mumbai. In a country where majority just falls for any sadhu baba, women aren't safe to step out after dusk and are still living in patriarchy setup, this show represents Indian women of the other side, which is in minority. Sadly, this series will be hated (not just disliked) by the most (which you can read from majority of haters in the review section).

Nonsense so called feminists who thinks men is only for enjoyment rest they are problems for us! Idiotic cast , and I hope you do not being more seasons.

Total waste of time. Its so cringy that I couldn't even watch till end .

Oh God - Season Two. One thought one season was more than enough. No more shots please.

I am waiting for the next episodes! Such stories are often criticized but the truth lies in them. It is not about feminism but is about few sides of women which are lying beneath the society.

I believe there was some room for story development but the series was entertaining enough portraying modern India with its all quirks and bits. Music was great and the actors performed well. Though, I was expecting it to end on a happy note. The director and script writer surely surprised us.

I'll be waiting for season 2.

After watching for 10 minutes, i want break the phone but EMI are still pending and new phone can't purchase in lockdown. Its horror show for my neurons.

Do not judge this show with all the critique and technicalities if you can relate to it then this the best show and i recommend it to every one.

Please don't go with reviews because everyone has its on way of seeing thing's different. Everyone in this series is really good and they did justice to it. We always find a perfect good story with perfect end but life was not about the same so open your mind and just go with flow. I think its worth watching and force you to think. Go watch it.

Stilted acting: Check Cliché story: Check Vapid script: Check Forced sexuality: Check check check

I wish I could give less than zero. That being said, I think you should watch at least one episode to see how hideous and distasteful it is.

If Amazon produces any more such show I will unsubscribe from Amazon Prime.

We're tripling down on both this season!

All in all, Four More Shots Please! Is a decent watch but if you freshly watched the first season and then the next, you might end up

Can we please go back to first season and understand what actually worked in the favour rather than creating multiple more with no substantial progress? Season 3 is not bad but stagnant with little to nothing to hook our curiosity for the future.

Although imdb has bad ratings, i have heard rave reviews of this but watching 1 episode, i didn't like it. My peers said, i should give it another try and so i did. It's a casual watch with some good comic relief, important feminist povs and unnecessary but engaging dramas. The actors are fine. However, it is unrelatable to a lot of extent, showing privileged women who are extraordinarily talented or lucky and having unbelievable childhood that most can't relate to, always on media, except siddhi, everyone is best in industry or dates celebrity and well, siddhi's dad is best in industry. How about you make something about women who are talented and thriving in career but not necessarily best in industry in 20s or early 30s? And all characters love to mess up their lives with Meaningless sex. I am all up for women exploring sexuality and sexual pleasure, dating and having sex, making mistakes and wrong choices, but who in their real mind willingly messes up their life for Meaningless sex when the end results are so obvious and how come they have so unnecessarily dramatic life? Hence, although engaging and easy to watch, it is unrealistic. Well, fiction should be unrealistic. However, it addresses important issues like glass ceiling, misogynist culture, women's sexuality, lgbtq, equality in relationships, friendship, co-parenting and so on. I wish the characters were more aware of their privileges though.

Unable to give less than 1 to this series. This is some poor taste web series designed to show Nudity, Feminism and cringe worthy one liners as new fashion. Avoid watching and save your time.
