Much awaited Season 2 was quite a disappointment. The mystery was quite predictable & there are many flaws in the story. For instance is it that easy to kill a prisoner in the CIA protected prison and that too was guarded by Venezuelan asset and not an American?! They didn't even bother to figure out how he died? Also, realism was missing in the story/direction. 5-6 US soldiers moving around Venezuelan jungle on a boat freely and no Venezuelan soldiers have a clue how to find them? How about these same US soldiers with GOD mode type shooting skills were able to freely enter Venezuelan Presidents compound on a Helicopter without any resistance from the air or ground and easily managed to get to the President?!! I feel the story could have been better and direction definitely lacked the punch.

Story was unnecessarily dragged. Entire suspense turned out to be a common storyline repeated in many other movies of a troubled person who turns into a terrorist who vows for revenge and another character who becomes the hero while going through his own personal crisis. Add a mixture of Osho type baba who brainwashes people into believing that world is a crappy place. Add another mixture of a gangster and corrupt politicians/cops who are all involved in a grand masterplan.

Among the many loopholes in the storyline, one big one was how in the world this terrorist was able to easily get hold of Nuclear (fission) bomb that was capable of 5 times bigger blast than Hiroshima/Nagasaki bomb?

When authorities found out the exact location of the bomb, (which itself is another mysterious flaw in the storyline), they decided to drive to the location (in Mumbai traffic) rather than use air transportation?! You talking about bomb that could wipe out most of Maharashtra here! This is lazy writing.

Writer has basically picked stories from different places and combined it into one story. There seems to be no originality in the storyline at all. I have not read the book so I cant comment on that front nor compare.

Nawazuddin is a brilliant actor and for that very reason I have given this series a 3 star rather than a 1. His acting, delivery of humor etc. made this series somewhat watchable till the end. It seems there will be Season 3!

I would normally promote Indian comedy shows that are not as cheesy as Taarak Mehta, but this one is a terrible remake. Growing up and living in US for almost 2 decades and then in India, I noticed there is a huge cultural difference that even applies to corporate environment. So I understand the difficulty for writers to come up with some similarity that could be humorous. But here writers have pretty much copied lot of the episodes plot from US version and translated into Hindi with Indian actors and in Indian context it just does not seem to be as funny. Dialogues are weak, actors are trying too hard to strike similarity with US versions characters and it is translating into overacting or just poor acting in general. Please note that this review is based on 2 episodes so it can be biased.
