Imaginative and Ingenious

'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.
