Just broken
Broken But Beautiful is an Indian romance web series by ALT Balaji. It revolves around the lives of Veer and Sameera who are struggling to move on from their past relationships. Often web series begin with a strong premise and fail to capitalize later on, and this show too, is a victim of that. Vikrant Massey is excellent as always while Harleen Sethi provides strong backup. The whole show reeks of plot convenience which often causes the characters to become contradicting to their nature. BBB is touching but not perfect. Watch it only for the actors.

Promising
Abhay is an Indian crime thriller web series by ZEE5. It follows the story of an investigating officer who will take whatever it takes to solve the crime. Kunal Kemmu plays the lead and gets the job done. The writing is very weak, the show depends on everything except writing to keep you watch it. It follows a very cliched done and dusted formula with nothing original. The show is inconsistent, at times it is gripping, at times it is dull. The villains try too much and end up doing nothing. Anshuman Jha does a little something to hold your interest but even his portrayal of the bad guy isn't enough. The show sould not be on your watch-list.

Inspiring
Haq Se is an Indian drama web series by ALT Balaji. It is based on the classic Little Women. It follows the story of four sisters who have their own journeys and their own struggles. The good thing is even though the show has well-known actors, the story takes the center stage. What sets it apart is also the fact that it is set in Kashmir. Apart from the beauty of Kashmir you also see the struggle which people go through. Rajeev Khandelwal is excellent as a supporting actor. Surveen Chawla once again shines. Haq Se is really thought-provoking and an intense series which will make you cry and smile.

Disappointing
Poison is an Indian thriller series by ZEE5. It follows the story of a man out for revenge. With a setup like this, you hope for some twists and turns, some dark scenes, some thrills, but it turns out to be a dud. It is a thriller without the thrills. It is like pizza without cheese. Apart from the protagonist, none of the characters seem to be important or worthwhile. It is like you have to put in an effort to enjoy the show. It does not utilize even the setting. The show is set in Mumbai and Goa with all the stereotypes in place. Watch this if you have nothing else on the planet to watch, otherwise, maintain a good distance.

Predictable
The Good Vibes is an Indian comedy web series by Legrand. It follows the age old formula of chaos to create comedy. It consists of only 6 episodes and the show doesn't start getting interesting up until episode 3. So you understand where this review is going. The lead actors, Naveen Kasturia and Maanvi Gagroo are amazing but underutilized, thanks to TVF, they are already fan favourites and youl will be disappointed to see them wasted. Opposite to it's title, the show doesn't give out much good vibes and is a colossal disappointment.

Refreshing
Baarish is an Indian romance web series by ALT Balaji. It hails the story of two completely opposite people who fall in love. Despite having a very cliched setup the show still manages to grasp your attention. Sharman Joshi is a proven talent and is brilliant but Asha Negi steals the show. You go into the show with low expectations but come out pleasantly surprised. This is one of those rare mature series by ALT Balaji. You can't help but gush over the portrayal of their love. The show is not masterpiece but it ain't bad either. This is one beautiful journey which deserves your time.

Delicious
The Royal Palate is an Indian documentary series by TVF. Chef Kunal Kapur takes you on a journey across India showcasing the country's exotic cuisine. The direction and editing is top-notch. Each episode feels like an experience. Even the camera work is phenomenal. You know you have succeeded in making a documentary about food when the viewer starts drooling. And adding to the experience, the stories told during the episode are informative. This is one journey that won't be tiring.

Likeable
Mom & Co. is an Indian drama web series by The Zoom Studios. It follows the story of a young man living with his mother and his relationship with her. The show highlights the fact that most of us distance our parents and family once we become adults. The show has it's moments and is really enjoyable at parts. But, the demerit is it's inconsistency. It has continuous highs and lows which bother you. Even though it has only 10 episodes, it feels stretched. The mom-son relationship is the only saving factor. The actors do their job well but are let down by weak writing.

Nostalgic!
ImMature is an Indian comedy web series by MX PLayer in association with TVF. The show is a coming-of-age comedy and revolves around a 16 year old's school life. Just like Yeh Meri Family, TVF has struck a chord with youngsters taking them back to their school lives. It contains of only five episodes so there is no real progression. It's just a collection of memories put together for you to enjoy. The episodes have are fairly structured and give you the end result you hoped for. To sum it up, I'd say it is short and sweet, definitely worth a watch.

Extremely Entertaining
Aafat is an Indian comedy web series by MX Player. It showcases the lives of a prospective groom and his five prospective brides. The series is absolutely brilliant. Each of the five women are fighting a battle with themselves about a quality which the society frowns upon. This make their characters come alive. It was hard for me to find a weak spot because I don't remember a single point in time when I thought that this isn't enjoyable. The show is original and packed with humor. The duration of the episodes and the season is perfect. If you are wondering about how engaging the show is, let it be known that I finished it in one go. Absolutely amazing, go for it!
