Black Widows (2020– )
9/10
A perfect weekend watch!
20 December 2020
The story of the show is a well woven pattern of plots unfolding in the most unexpected of ways. The three 'partners in crime' are relatable; your heart goes out to them at time, at others you feel like shaking them to make them see the mistakes they are making - they are human as human gets! They are beautifully flawed and trying to cope with their lives as best as they can. It's a daring mix of characters who, even in some serious situations don't take themselves too seriously. The casting couldn't have been better and I don't think I've ever liked Shamita Shetty more than as Kavita. She does all the wrong things but you see where she is coming from and your heart goes out to her. Mona is perfection! Swastika is a treasure! And Sharad is as always, a master performer.

While the story is captivating, the over all mise-en-scène is remarkable too. The visuals aren't trying too hard to stand out and messing things up. There is no excessive bad language and bloody massacres just because this is digital. Also, the actors comfortably slip into speaking an occassional line in English without it sticking out like a sore thumb. The music is delightful and goes well with the mood of the show.

Hope there's a second season coming soon!
