Sacred Games is tenacious and thrilling without giving the audiences an overdose of adrenaline with fast paced story telling. It grips you in the beginning, brings an unexpected touch which assures you that it will be a sensible narrative. The characters have flaws, and won't always be making decisions which seem predictable and thats what makes it satisfying.Suffice to say there is a palette of experiences ,emotions and depth to each of them that you cant place anyone in distinct areas of evil or good. The narrative is brilliant and both Nawazuddin and Saif Ali Khan have done well on their portrayals. The other characters in the movie blend in seamlessly and don't give you a chance to think - "Why is he/she there?". The characters are related and the subplots are not subplots but snippets of a parallel storyline filling in pieces just at the right moments. The sound track purveys the atmosphere and the direction by Anurag Kahsyap (Gaitonde era) and Vikramaditya Motwani (present era) are well intertwined. Needless to say this will leave you hanging for the next season. A pretty good start from Netflix-India in the TV arena.
