Review of Dahaad

Dahaad (2023– )
8/10
A Gem from India
26 May 2023
Dahaad was a thoroughly engaging and entertaining Indian crime series. The characters from top to bottom were three-dimensional, the acting was stellar, and the cinematography was first-rate. The widespread nature of the crimes committed, allowed us to see many parts and sites of India, which added to the experience.

The series also offered a great vantage point on Indian society, in which issues of caste and gender are pervasive in everyday life-even in 2023.

The fact the policewoman Anjali Bhaati carried both burdens, and did so with such grace and dignity, made her role extra-special. While she had her personal struggles, I particularly enjoyed her kick-ass, suffer-no-fools attitude, a kind Indian-styled Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I couldn't get enough of her.

The entire supporting cast was so good, this group could carry three or more seasons of Dahaad, assuming the cases, villains, and writing stay at this high level. I strongly recommend it.
