The show is captivating and has practical view on how cyber crime is manifested. Many technical connotations are true to industry standards. However, the series is beyond that. It is an engaging watch due to Mr. De Niro's acting abilities. Rest of the cast are decent but it's all De Niro who keeps you glued to to the series!

The underwhelming aspects are within the storyline which is preachy and wastes substantial amount of time on hero worship. It seems that everything revolves around one person who can save the world. I felt with a strong and experienced ensemble cast, you could have wished more nuanced and layered storyline beyond the technical jargon and predictable plot twists.

The reason you watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan over and over again, is for Salman Khan and Harshali. Salman Khan has probably given his best performance and even in scenes where you can relate, cry and cheer for him! Nawazuddin is a great supporting act. Kareena Kapoor, Sharat Saxena and entire ensemble have ensured that they are supporting the storyline efficiently. But, I feel that it's Salman Khan who might be best thing in the movie. You still cry in the last scene no matter you have watched it for 25 time. It's sad that people don't talk much about Salman Khan's finesse as an actor but if he gets good script and great director, he can do wonders!

Special mention to Mr. Kabir Khan, he is a wonderful director and story teller. I believe people should watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan, to understand how humanity and love crosses beyond boundaries! Great acting and direction!
