Manoj Bajpai breathes life into this Amazon's crime thriller
9 times out of ten, I am left in awe when I see Manoj Bajpai on screen but this is one of those times where even his profound skill set struggles to save a weak script. Srikant (Manoj Bajpai) works for TASC, a secret agency that proactively predicts and stops terrorist activities. Thanks to a job that keeps him on the toes, his personal life is on the verge of being a colossal wreck. Grappling with family and work, 'The family man' often finds himself in perilous yet humorous quandaries.
The cast is well-curated and performances are convincing. While the plot isn't edge-of-the-seat gripping, it is engaging enough to compel the viewer into finding out what happens next. The writing might have benefited from a better focus on a natural dialect rather than trying to push as many cuss words as possible in a scene.
With some masterpieces like 'Mirzapur', 'Made in heaven' under its belt, Amazon runs a bit short this time to uphold its standards and produces a show that seems a little too familiar with "Pakistani terrorists" out to obliterate India. Give it a go, primarily, for some great on-screen performances.
The Family Man is an Indian spy thriller by Prime Video. It follows the story of a spy who balances both, protecting his country and managing his household. The plot is old-school but is made watchable because of the characters. As expected, Manoj Bajapayee is the soul of the show and the sole reason for watching it. The supporting cast is solid and does well. What makes this show good is that the socio-political events depicted are very real and relatable. If you are looking for a new web series to binge, this is your answer.
