Smoke (I) (2018–2019)
2/10
Couldn't have been worse

Warning: Spoilers
I am absolutely surprised by the amount of positive reviews this title has got. Most of them sound fake because of the template and absolutely unrelated reviews written.

Nevertheless, the series has a story-line so flat, I'd like to buy the brand of hammer that was used against it. First few episodes are so confusing, you wouldn't really understand which drug mafia is against whom. Some characters suddenly disappear from the series and no one bats an eye. Police and the CM abruptly start taking weird decision, so much so that audience might feel there might be some huge revelation at the end, but unfortunately, there isn't. Character's take time to build up, and when you might feel like rooting for them, they are killed off, and you feel confused and betrayed. Unrelated characters suddenly become significant in the final episodes, which makes absolutely no sense.

Editing was also not up to the mark.

All in all, it seemed like because the director knew the story-line, they felt that the audience would too, without taking the effort to explain them. Unfortunately, the characters fail to make an impact till the end.

A forgettable TV Serial which is best to be avoided, despite the spectacular work done by Tom Alter and all the other major star-cast.
