An amazing Season 1. This will bring Indian moving/drama making appeal to the level of top class TV series. It's not that we haven't produced or made top class movies or TV series, it's that the standard has stooped so low in this decade that creative and brilliant directors are sidelined for poor stories and scripts but steaming 'item' numbers, stardom, extravagant sets etc.

With Netflix launching it's first ever TV Series and letting Anurag Kashyap use his skills (not being stifled by the censor board), we witness the brilliance we knew he has.

Unlike typical Indian heroes, Sartaj Singh is not your typical hero. He is honest and scared. He fails to live up to his principles on occasions and when he does, he lands himself in trouble. The characterisation of Sartaj is top notch. Never during the series, he is seen changing from an ordinary cop to extra ordinary one in one step. The change is gradual and it's not like typical India soap opera. Saif Ali Khan lives up to his 'Langada Tyagi' reputation and does a brilliant job. After watching the series, I realize why we haven't seen the best of Saif. It's because he never got a chance. Thanks to Sacred Games, we see the best of Saif.

No words for Nawazuddin's performance. He is brilliance personified. His portrayal of local gangster will etch in human mind for years to come. It wouldn't come as a surprise if his role is a considered as a case study for acting classes. Just like Sartaj, Giatonde (Nawazuddin) is not a super villain. He is not physically strong and immune to harm. He is as normal as a human can get except that when comes to desire to succeed, Gaitonde has no limits.

Rahika Apte, wow. She has definitely singed a contract with Netflix and it's worth it. She gets to do brilliant roles and at the moment, in my book, she is top notch actress. As a RAW agent, she blends into the role with ease and delivers a punching performance.

Every other character is brilliantly (I might be over using 'brilliant' in the review and that's because I can't help it) portrayed all the actors involved. Sartah's constable's wife, the RAW agent computer geek, the police computer geek, TV actress and many more is portrayed by talented people.

Nudity and sex was a definite surprise and they didn't overdo it. Not every episode has nudity and when there is, it's not for prolonged period. It's included as part of story line and adds to the grit and raw image of Mumbai underworld dealing.

Everything about this series is wonderful and I just can't wait for S02. #love4sacredgames
