Summary
Reviewers say 'The Family Man' is acclaimed for its compelling narrative, realistic depiction of a middle-class man's dual life, and Manoj Bajpayee's stellar performance. The series is celebrated for its humor, action, and genre balance. However, some note pacing issues, uneven development, and clichés. Its portrayal of political and social themes is both praised and critiqued. Despite these flaws, it is seen as a major contribution to Indian web series.
Featured reviews
Gotta say, Raj and DK are one of the torch bearers of Indian OTT platforms. The Family Man is amongst the most popular Indian series and as of writing this review season 2 has finished.
At this point there's no need to praise Manoj Bajpayee for his skills. Just be thankful he exists and gifts us with these gems and we must protect him at all costs.
One of the best things about this series is the writing of characters. Small or lead characters, everyone is paid attention to detail and they exist for a reason. The antagonists are always very very well written which makes this more nail biting. Apart from that, background score, production design, dialogues are top notch.
VFX could be better with bigger budget and sometimes there are dues ex machina happening with either event or character which is a let down but nonetheless it's still entertaining, sometimes shocking with sprinkles of comic moments.
Lastly, The family man is a must watch show and ironically not family friendly.

Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.
First of all I am happy with the fact that now people atleast know secret agents are not like Salman Khan's character Tiger (from Ek Tha Tiger , Tiger Zinda Hai), Secret agents are not commandos who can beat a bulk of villain singlehandedly, so you can say the level of Indian Series is going up.
Now talking about this series, I liked the concept, I liked the over all story, acting. Remember one thing this series is about a family man who also works for a secret team whose main task is... Okay I am not goning to give spoilers. Directors did really well in that part , the balance of life between work and a very normal family with two cute kids.
Now the things that could be better: It started really well, 'Dance of Death' was best eposide in my opinion. Show was going really well upto this part, but then directors tried to do some thing more, tried to put more twists, and ended up doing illogical things.
Dont read from this point if you haven't watched it yet: If you have watched this then you know there was a plan B, now can any one explain me why the terrorists were not executing plan B first...?? It was easier right??

Manoj Bajpai is a great actor and well supported by the rest of the cast. The story is great and the way they handled sensitive issues is commendable but. Give it a try. It's definitely a binge watch
What a series! Mind blowing acting, screenplay! The last scene of the last episode, it sounds like another season will come surely.
The family man.
