Sixes in the first innings
Amazon Prime Videos start off their Indian webseries venture with cricket, lust and a LOT of drama.
The Mumbai Mavericks, our protagonist team, is at its lowest when the show kicks off and so is everyone associated with the team, including one of its owners Zarina Malik (Richa Chadha).
Then comes in the suave and mysterious Vikrant Dhawan (Vivek Oberoi) like a fairy godmother and waves his wand around and solves all their problems.
But not without ulterior motives.
Angad Bedi, Tanuj Virwani, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sanjay Suri along with many others add flavours and different dynamics to the storyline.
Kudos to Karan Anshuman, the creator of this show, for writing distinctive roles and an engaging script. The actors perform remarkably, specially Chadha.
In some parts though, Vivek's character feels cartoonish, so they can work on that on the next season (if there is one).
With great scenes and exciting cliffhangers, the episodes are definitely worth the watch.
You know what? I'll just say it's a must watch.

In India cricket has never been seen as a show but more like a life style and this web series potrays exactly that. The fixings and the scandals and the dash and glam vs. the harsh reality all coming true. A good suspense that makes a good binge watch, a few may give up on it after the first 2 episodes but the after isnt that bad either. The loopholes and incredible cinematography may keep you hooked! The cricket fans might not give up on it but i cant say the same for those who aren't that into it. It is now called Amazon Prime's finest so its worth a watch now isnt it?

"Inside Edge" is India's first Amazon web series and it is a fresh breeze. It defies the strictures of decayed Indian daily soap opera and creates a new template for original and gritty content lovers. The production value is high with an ensemble cast. Thanks to Amazon and Essel Entertainment (Farhan Akhtar & Ritesh Sidhwani).

The content is edgy and niche, it shows us the ugliness and prettiness of showbiz and cricket, the two most loved industries of this generation. The deceit, crime, vendetta, and manipulation are the main ingredients of this excellent served dish. Some of the actors did a phenomenal job like Amit Sial, Angad Bedi, Tanuj Virvani & Siddhant Chaturvedi. Richa Chaddha as waning actress needs a better dialogue delivery and Vivek Oberoi as a shrewd magnate goes over the top sometimes.

However, being an Indian show, it occasionally becomes too dramatic with some larger than life characters and instances, which seems pretentious. Having seen TVF's Pitchers, Permanent Roommates, Tripling, Humorously Yours etc. are not equipped with rich production but the acting & content are more relevant and inventive.

Overall, Amazon and Netflix are giving the prospect to the Indian creative pool to come at par with Narcos, House of Cards, Ozark, Breaking Bad etc. It is good to see "Inside Edge" making a mark here.
