Abhishek acted well, seems a lobby working to defame AB Jr giving negative reviews all over. Amit Sadh role should had been increased, a chase and action scene between AB and AS would had changed the level of series

I loved it. Couldn't find major loopholes. Performance was top notch.
Well it is a crime thriller and there are some very minor loop holes and the climax is a little melodramatic, but it works. AB's performance made it work. Amit is too good. Buffed up physically and the performance is also at the next level from S1. But apart from that it is brilliant. It's at the level of series like the true detective just with more thrills.
And unlike many Indian series and movies there is enough attention to details and no, it doesn't treat the audience as being stupid. It doesn't explain everything in a platter. And absolutely no loopholes as such.
Now if you want to find loopholes you can find many in Money hiest and even God Father and The Dark Knight. But we are not there to scrutinize every scene, if the movie takes us to another experience and makes us stay there, it has done it's job. And this series does it's job brilliantly.
AB and AS shine throughout, but all the ladies and the police make their mark too. No character or cast is wasted.
And there are connections to season 1 too.
I would place Into the shadows among the top 3 series coming out of India. And even ok an international level it finds it place.

This season breathes new life into the series!

Amazing storyline and thrilling twists. The background score and overall production quality meets the international standards. Abhishek truly delivers.
If you love watching crime thriller genre then this series is definitely for you. Don't want to say much about the storyline or anything else, just get comfy in your couch and let this season take you on a thrill ride.
The season ends in a cliffhanger but will definitely return for season 3.

Season 2 - Ultimate Blockbuster for CONTENT viewers!!
dharmeshpandya-5331111 November 2022
Superbly directed, written and screenplay by the team. Kudouss..!!!!!!
Not even a single minute you will feel out of context or not relevant to even 1%. This was not their in S01 of the series. It was quite lengthy... But this season 2 was a marvelous combination of story telling, suspense and writing.
Coming to Acting - Abhishek Bachan, Naveen Kasturi and Amit Sadh have killed it. Supporting characters like Abha, police inspectors etc. Have played thier roles beautifully...
I had thought to complete in 3-4 days. Watched in 1 day!!!!
One line - Sure to watch ONE time!!!!!
(Season 01 to watch compulsory)

Could be a masterpiece but...
sweetcsevu11 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Another adaptation of "The strange case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde". It could be a masterpiece but the plotholes, unnecessary side stories, and weird acting of Mr. Jr. Bacchan makes it somewhat mediocre.
I don't know if it's just me, but I can't imagine him in a thriller like this. He just doesn't fit. I must say he gave his best shot but it wasn't enough.
The storyline is good, the pace is also enjoyable. The background score is awesome. Nithya, Hrishikesh Joshi & Amit Sadh's acting is the life of the series.
R. Madhavan raised the bar too high at the first season of Breathe. This one is good enough to watch but didn't meet my expectation.

smartrahat10 July 2020
Just binged the whole show through the night , amazing performance from the entire cast specially Abhishek and from Amit and Nitya....and an amazing cast and story ...keeps you hooked throughout the series...Please give it a watch ,don't go for the "critics review" coz it's not worth anymore.its better if you can judge it than them.
It doesn't disappoint you but could have been better.
tyamsriram12 July 2020
I have to start with the fact that Abhishek Bachchan,Nitya Menen have done a wonderful job in acting.Amit has other artists have done a good job too but they have sidelined Amit Sadd and he's not really in the spotlight compared to season 1.The series could have been finished with just 10 episodes.I felt they have wasted sometime with too many one on one conversations and slow moving and what I did not like is the screen play.There is too much back and forth from past to present and the usual loopholes which can be excused.Overall an interesting series and it definitely bores you a bit.The first and the last episide are the best ones of the season.Watch it for Abhishesk's great attempt!
Best of the year so far
mehta-rishab10 July 2020
Clearly best of the year and definitely among best Indian shows on any digital platform... Every actor nailed their role.. Jrb, amit sadh, menon everyone was outstanding... Story is winner as well...i just binged watched this one whole night
Just a mess with everything a little bit(6*by debojyoti)

Warning: Spoilers
Lots of pictures or web series have been made for the multiple personality disorder .This is one of them.Very general quality series.The series has become very very slow since the 6th episode. 🙁
psycho criminal,mythology,murder has been just a mess with everything a little bit.🙄
Mr.Bachchan has mixed 2 characters in the character of a multiple personality disorder Patient.Homework didn't do much.
Amitji is quite good.He showed how a lot of dialogue can be said with the eyes.👏I was waiting to see something better from him.👍

shaileshllb12 July 2020
The concept of this series is not original, plots picked up from various other series,, seems inspired from Asur on Voot..Good performance by Abhishek, but I might test Ab+ after watching too much of him....i liked the series till episode 5, and started searching for logic post that , which was not to be found...If you are looking for entertainment...you may kike this but if you are like me, i.e. what you watch should make sense...than it's not recommend for you
Our inner demons doesn't necessarily always leaves our loved ones unharmed
ridi-arahan13 July 2020
What worked:
- clever screenplay; we cannot deny that the role of the lead character especially Abhishek Bachhan is very wisely and cleverly portrayed despite some flaws of course. The series although long, keeps you engaged, stays in narrative and gradually explores its narrative aspect. As a mental health professional, I appreciate the writer's work on dealing with the disorder, and the writing in general is quiet well done. I also liked that the writers tried to answer minute nuances and details, also agreeing that some weren't done wisely.
- lead performances; Amit Sadh is a hidden gem, he is captivating and brilliant as usual. Abhishek deserves an applause for his performance. These roles should be a strong reference for their resume I believe.
- screenplay; the screenplay is dull, mundane at times, unreal and has plot holes. So many questions remain unanswered and unrevealed. The basic premise of the series is not handled properly. I don't want to give away the spoilers. We would have wanted a more detailed reasoning and revealing regarding the main characters action, motive and how the actions were presented in the camera. I would say the writing is edited but the main agenda of the series is not well baked, resulting in a dish half baked. Some of us will come out of the series with questions and with complains how this show could have been better.
- runtime; we can definitely question the run time. There were chances of cutting the scenes to crisp the narrative. Unlike other series, this one however keeps you engaged.
Amazing!!!

Excellent 👌
sitchiranjit13 July 2020
Abhishek Bachchan's best performance till now, of his entire career. Amit Sadh was superb too.
The story is an epic one compare to other crime thrillers.
The background musics and making is magnificent.
The 2nd best webseries of the year after "The Family man".
Thank you amazon Prime. Everything was so perfect.
The Actors and the Story line is just amazing. But it's a real drag.
keerthisanand13 July 2020
The Season which could have been completed within 10 Episodes is dragged to 12 episodes. Abhishekh Bachan , Nitya and Amit have given outstanding performances. The story line is just breathtaking! just like the Title
Abhishek's best...
vikysaran14 July 2020
No i am bot agree that Guru was Abhishek's best, breath is his best with his surprising performance.
I enjoyed each episode of it. Best watch after Sacred Games.
The story was pretty much influenced with Se7en and a scene i noticed copied from Money Heist.
Average and fails to impress!!!
cs_rahul_prasad12 July 2020
The season 2 fails to impress as compared to season 1.
R Madhavan starrer season 1 was exceptionally executed. He set the benchmark for psychological thrillers but Abhishek Bachchan fails to continue it. The season 2 was slow, laggish and lengthy (unnecessarily lengthy). If you make 12 episodes then please make sure to add content in them not any garbage. The major difference between both the seasons was choosing of targets before killing. R Madhavan chooses randomly and Abhishek Bachchan chooses to take revenge of what happens in his past (which he don't even know). Also the plan to execute murder were innovative and creative in season 1. The season 2 was just police looking for the murderer and forgetting about that little girl. After 6 episodes you will start loosing interest and it's worthy to skip Episode No. 7, 8, 9 because it doesn't contain anything. Season 2 was based on the plot of 'Raavan and his 10 weaknesses'.
But yes, at various points of time the show has taken your breath away.
The only reason to watch this was Amit Sadh (continuing his character of Inspector Kabir Sawant very well and Prakash Kamble too). If you are getting bored and you have nothing to watch, you can go through this.
Season 1 was extraordinary than season 2.

Breathe Into The Shadows Review - Abhishek Bachchan And Amit Sadh Are The Only Saving Grace In This Psychological Thriller
ketgup8310 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Few days back we were introduced to the engaging psychological thrillers like Pataal Lok and Asur. The season 2 of Breathe, based on similar theme, comes with mammoth expectations considering it marks the digital debut of Abhishek Bachchan and Nithya Menen into the digital world. Is the 12 episodes long web series worth watching ? Let us find out ..
Breathe Into The Shadows tells the story of Avinash Sabharwal (Abhishek Bachchan) as a desperate father who is searching for his missing daughter, Siya. He is supported by Nithya Menen who plays his wife, Abha, and Amit Sadh who returns as Kabir Sawant, helping in the investigation.
Directed by Mayank Sharma, Breathe Season 1 starring R Madhavan and Amit Sadh was well received by the audience and the critics alike when it was released in 2018. Unlike the season 1 which talks about a normal person turning into a violent killer to save his daughter, Breathe Season 2 deals with the origin of pyschological killer and the motive behind each murder. The director also defines the concepts of diverse emotions referring to the 10 headed- Ravana's perspective making him the protagonist in the web-series.
Unfortunately, the concept does not turn into an engaging watch. The 12 episodes over-long web series will test your patience as the story hardly moves through the episodes. The web series gives you some hope in the initial episodes but loses the steam and falls flat on the surface. Probably, the identity of the kidnapper could have been best kept secret until the climax but was already revealed right in the middle of the series. From here onward, it becomes the face-off between the two personalities residing in one which hardly makes any impact. The story is as confusing as it goes haywire and too much disruptions causes the film to halt as it never recovers. The screenplay is weak while editing is extremely poor. The web-series has been shot well in the picturesque location of Delhi and Nanital while the art direction is impressive.
The only saving grace in this film is Abhishek Bachchan and Amit Sadh who gave commendable performances. I wish Nitya Menen and Saiyami Kher would have been given more meatier role still they did fine with their respective characters. Overall, Breathe : Into The Shadows is a big opportunity gone wasted. Below average 2/5

I have seen many thrillers. At some point of time near climax or during the movie, some characters usually become irritating BUT NOT IN THIS. This show is something else. None of characters become irritable. That's the main selling point of this show.... WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES by everyone. I don't know why people are giving less reviews.
Especially female actors because of melodrama become irritating but Nithya Menen has done a great job!!! And Abhishek, Amit Saadh and even the non main characters. Everyone did a great job.
Climax was at correct moment. They have not stretched the story. Great mystery!!
