    A story tangy like the achar

    Two Dar boys set out on the road to carry on the empire built by their father, this series while a bit childish at moments will never let have a dull moment and always keep you hooked, however incomplete and paced character development as well as a sometimes holed script leaves this box of achar with lots of masalas dripping into the wounds of people looking for logic, but if you don't want a logic and just want to enjoy a great relatable dark comedy (especially for all the ABCDs out there) then brace up for 10 episodes of quirky jokes, relatable characters as well as some sibling bonding moments.

    IMMEDIATE RENEWAL

    Praying for a renewal!!! I need season 2!

    Deli Boys is seriously one of the best shows ever! I can't believe how funny and relatable it is. The characters are super cool, and you just wanna hang out with them. Every episode has me laughing and feeling all the feels at the same time.

    The writing is hilarious, and the actors totally nail their roles. It's just a great mix of comedy and some real-life stuff that hits home. I really want them to bring it back for more seasons because there's so much more they could do with the story and the characters.

    So yeah, let's get a renewal for Deli Boys! I need more of that wild ride in my life!

    Fantastic!

    I finally found a good comedy to watch even if it's a dark one! I'm a fan of dark comedies anyway. You can get away with much more in these type series. Absolutely love the clash of cultures and the ways of life. There's a stereotype but their characters themselves make fun of it. Really good story fits modern day perfectly. Plenty of laugh out loud scenes and screwed up families. You find yourself really rooting for some of the characters to succeed. The series succeeds where many others fail. The only thing I wish is that the episodes were an extra 5 minutes longer. There is plenty of story to tell in the series. Looking forward to the next season.

    It's the Deluxe BLT of Hulu Shows

    Hulu's new 2025 original series, Deli Boys, created by Abdullah Saeed, delivers a fresh, energetic take on a premise that feels both unique and unexpectedly hilarious. With its mix of family dynamics, crime, and dark humor, the show grabs your attention from the very first episode and keeps you invested throughout the 10 episode run.

    At the heart of Deli Boys are two Pakistani-American brothers, Mir and Raj Dar, played by Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh, respectively. The pair inherit their father's convenience store empire after his sudden death, only to discover that the business they thought was built on hard work is actually a sprawling criminal enterprise. The juxtaposition of their comfortable, privileged lives against the shocking reality of their father's hidden life creates both comedic and dramatic tension. Mir is the responsible brother trying to live up to his late father's expectations, while Raj is the carefree sibling, perfectly content to enjoy the spoils of their family's success. The brothers' chemistry feels real, and their differing approaches to the chaos they've inherited serve as the emotional core of the series.

    Where Deli Boys truly stands out is in its unique execution. The show blends humor with criminal intrigue in ways that feel seamless, striking a balance between laugh-out-loud moments and darker, more suspenseful beats. The series is refreshingly unpredictable, delivering more than just your typical comedy or crime drama. It feels fresh, tapping into unexplored narratives within the South Asian community while embracing the genre conventions of both crime thrillers and family comedies.

    The ensemble cast is a standout, with Poorna Jagannathan as Lucky, their father's formidable criminal confidante, bringing a much-needed depth to the series. Her performance highlights the power dynamics that Mir and Raj are suddenly thrust into. Additionally, the inclusion of Tan France, in his acting debut as a London-based gang leader, adds an intriguing layer of tension. France's performance as Zubair is chilling and effective, even though he's known more for his charm on Queer Eye-his willingness to dive into the role of a menacing figure is commendable.

    The series is visually engaging, with vibrant settings and quick-witted dialogue that keep the pacing sharp and exciting. The humor can be absurd and sometimes dark, but it never feels forced. There's a natural flow between the comedy and crime, which is part of what makes Deli Boys so compelling. And while there are moments that lean into the absurdity of the premise, the heart of the show remains grounded in the brothers' journey-navigating the high-stakes world they didn't ask for, but now must manage.

    The show is not without its imperfections, but its unique storytelling, strong performances, and the undeniable chemistry between the lead actors more than make up for it. Deli Boys succeeds in offering a new perspective, combining an unconventional premise with strong character development and a healthy dose of humor. It's a series that doesn't just rely on its concept but instead builds an emotional, chaotic, and entertaining narrative that feels completely original.

    In a crowded landscape of comedy and crime shows, Deli Boys is one of those rare finds that feels refreshing, innovative, and delightfully funny. With its smart writing, standout performances, and a story that uniquely blends humor and crime, it's definitely one to watch.

    Deli Boys is available now on Hulu, better go check it out!

    Deli Boys: A Spicy Heist of Comedy and Chaos

    What happens when "Fargo" crashes into "Dumb and Dumber"-but with a generous serving of spicy masala? You get "Deli Boys", a fresh and frenetic crime-comedy that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

    At the heart of the series are two brothers: one flamboyant and reckless, the other naïve yet ambitious. Their father, a successful businessman who deliberately kept them out of his empire, suddenly dies-leaving them to inherit not just his legacy but also the shady dealings hiding beneath it. As they fumble through legal and financial chaos, a whirlwind of colorful characters enters (including FBI) the picture, none more magnetic than Aunt Lucky (Poona Jagannathan), who effortlessly steals every scene.

    Clocking in at around crisp 23 minutes per episode (sans credit roll), Deli Boys delivers tight, well-paced storytelling, a rarity in today's era of overlong streaming series. The humor is sharp, unforced, and refreshingly authentic-never pausing to over-explain inside jokes, especially those rooted in South Asian (particularly Punjabi) culture.

    Goofy yet organic, Deli Boys blends smart writing with strong technical execution. It may not reach cult-classic status, but it's a solid, standout comedy that will resonate with South Asian audiences for years to come.
