The Insiders (2019)

'The Insiders' is a ravishing experience, made up of strong, impressive writing and clean, clever humor with a worthy melange of visual as well as verbal comedy. It's the kind of show that dwells on familiar uncomfortable instances and effortlessly presents them in an extremely palatable and relatable manner. From 18-at-heart, annoying uncles in late 40s to evil little sisters, the writing successfully tickles the funny bone in a remarkable fashion.

'The insiders' is about the secret lives of kids who get dragged to house parties, along with their parents, against their wishes. A group of 3 boys whose parents meet up frequently over drinks and dinner, like to call themselves - 'the insiders', since they are confined to insides of a room to carry out their fun affairs discreetly. A new addition to their gang threatens their comfortable status quo and the first episode is spent mostly trying to decode the mysterious identity of the new possible member and subsequent episodes focus on their collective adventures.

What stands out most is stellar writing. On par direction along with well-executed performances are not far behind either. The sheer volume of attention to detail that went into making each episode makes it extremely hard to resist appreciation It's a great watch and a trend setter for teenage comedy-dramas.

The Insiders is a TVF Original show which centres on the premise of a group of friends coming up with a quirky, strange idea of forming a group that convenes only on Saturdays by the way. The plot is okay-ish, actually seemingly original yet banal since this idea forms the undercurrent of basically a number of digital content shows nowadays. Though basic, the acting is good. There could have been nuances though, still it's pretty good if you watch it by itself, i.e, not compare it with some of the TVF hits like Pitchers. Otherwise, it's average yet good. Therefore, a nice one-time watch.

The Insiders is an Indian comedy web series by TVF. It is a story of a friends who form a club called the insiders unknown to their parents. They meet every Saturday and do crazy things. The Insiders starts as a unique show with an interesting premise and gets really weird really fast. I could not make out what the makers were aiming for here, what exactly was the genre they were trying to create, if it was humor, they did a pretty average job. The acting is strictly okay. It has fun moments but they don't last long. If we compare this to the long list of great shows TVF has, this show doesn't match up to them.

So "The insiders " is TVF play original series. This one I'm not much of a fan. Sure there is a good story but, it's okay, nothing booming. Anyway, the first episode gives the characters introduction and tell the audience that these three boys namely Aneesh, Rabbi and Shiv are thrust into a room every Saturday while their parents loosen up over drinks and talk. All this time the three boys have actually became friends and formed a "secret club" where they call themselves the Insiders. But things change when there's a 4th member in the group, which is a girl. The boys have not had a girl member before so they act out bit weird (which is quite funny to watch) but with frequent saturday meetings of the "club" they all have bonded.
This review is based on the first two episodes.
P.S - I have omitted the spoilers for those who are actually interested in watching the series, also it's upon different preferences of different people, I personally stopped after the third episode.
Keep watching, share your view in the comments section.

Four kids end up becoming best friends because their parents meet up every weekend. The three boys are apprehensive to include the latest entrant, a girl. But all boils down in the end and the four have whacky adventures – so whacky that sometimes the audience wonders whether it is all a fantasy for them.
The Insiders is a unique web series – and a very bold one for the streaming audiences in 2019. The performances are great, the story arcs in each episode are interesting enough, and the characters are all so endearing that audiences will be only too happy to let go of suspension of disbelief. The kicker here are the current event references, like the 2G Scam, the state of the media, so on and so forth. Omkar Kulkarni is the life of the series. Himika Bose gives an excellent performance as well. If Omkar is the life of the series, Brij Bhushan Shulka with his cranky dialogues paves the way for this entertainer.
What is admirable is that there’s rarely any sequence that is not blown out of proportion, but it never feels redundant or boring; because behind all the hyperbole lies a tiny touch of reality that makes the show entertaining and engaging. In fact, the crazy, nonsensical, absurd events will make you laugh out loud.
The four leads, Omkar, Ritvik, Arnav and Himika, have done an excellent job at portraying their characters. The crazy quotient of the series is made approachable by their steady performances, balancing the hyperactive storyline. Apart from them, Brij Bhushan Shukla deserves a special mention for his lively performance as Bhalla, Rabbi’s father, cracking you up with his ‘Dad jokes’.
The Insiders is an artistic piece that speaks loudly between the lines. Behind all the crazy, it takes a dig at various pop culture references, Indian media, parenting, and the overall perception of the older generation towards the millennials.
The best part of this series is that it doesn’t burden itself with the nitty gritty that works into the scripts of a coming of age comedy, the romantic angle, the social message, etc. This is just about four kids growing up.
The show beautifully brings out peculiar characteristics from each of the protagonists, taking us back to our weird group of friends. They're short, 20 minute, snackable episodes that capture the essence of practically everyone's teen age. And once you're done with all five episodes, you will want to watch them all over again.

The Insiders is quite an entertaining web-series. It's a TVF originals, which shows us the gang called Insiders, and how they spend every Saturday night, while their parents enjoy and party together.

The Insiders- namely Shiv, Rabby, Aneesh and newly recruited member Shravya are a gang of young people, who make the team cool and interesting. They solve mysteries, much inspired by the techniques and the characters of CID, like the very famous "serial cake cutter."

The story continues through five intriguing episodes, where at the end, we'll find out the secrets in the lives of the Insiders. The cast, that is Omkar Kulkarni as Shiv, Arnav Bhasin as Rabby, Ritvik Joshi as Aneesh and Himika Bose as Shravya have really pulled up a great job. Their acting, dialogue delivery is really appreciable.

Go check out all the episodes of The Insiders on the TVF Play app!

The Insiders is a Hindi web series released by TVF in 2019. It is a good series and entertaining which will hold you till the end. The series has a great and different plot which is presented in a nice way. The actors did a great job. The story revolves around four kids whose parents meet every Saturday and they used to stay in the room. They created a self-proclaimed club he Insiders. Shiv, Aneesh and Rabbi are three friends whose parents meet on every Saturday for a little hangout. One day a new member came in their club, Shravya. Further, in the story, many comical events occur in the story and the story revolve around these four teenagers. It can be watched on the TVF paly app. I would say watch it once you won’t be disappointed.

I saw some of the Instagram posts which called this web series awesome, maybe they like it or just wanted to come to Instagram stories of TVF actors so they mentioned it. Truly speaking, when I started watching it, I first thought that it was good enough. But I continued watching it, just hoping that it will get better in the coming episodes, but I was wrong, it just got a little bit better.
Everybody’s taste is different. I cannot decide on who would like it and who would not, some of them would feel it awesome and others would feel it boring, while some would watch it just waiting to get a bit better. All depends upon your likings and preferences. #pointless #slowPaced #boring

Personally I loved it!

One good day my friends came over , we chatted utter bullshit to getting a great idea to starting a youtube channel to accepting some awards absolute different creative thoughts camd in our head.

It captures what we think during our teenage. Its like a dream you know every now and then your friends come over and then enter into a world which is created by us.

Its kinda like Rick and Morty “Kuch bhi hota rehta hai”. If you are expecting someting like Pitchers or PR or Triplings then you might not like it, otherwise its a great show.

I don't think this web series any good message . It was just a comedy show in which some children's remain in a room and there are some scenes which are weird in the sense that like "saas bahu " types. After watching you may not feel enlightened like you felt in Kota factory.
