Nawazuddin is the backbone of this series well supported by Saif Ali Khan. Radhika Apte is okay. The series falls short in terms of screenplay. The entire Cuckoo plot seems too bollywoodish, almost hundreds of the movies have copied it. RAW is not potrayed in good way. Direction of Anurag is good and Vikram somewhere falls short. Saif is a good actor and ge should do roles like this. Political commentry is good and dialouges are okay. It is nowhere close to Breaking Bad or Dexter or Nacros but it is a good begining. It is Gangs of Wasseypur 3 with Nawaz as Faizak Khan of Mumbai. High Imdb ratings don't justify as this website also has given high ratings to crappy movies like Sanju. Watch and decide.
