The Family Man Season 2 Review

The Family Man Season 2 Review

A binge worthy power pack show that entertains you in every single episode. The family man series currently has released two seasons and the third one is on the way. Family man’s second season  was able to keep up the benchmark set in the first one.

After watching both the seasons I couldn’t  categorize it into a single category as it is a thriller as well as drama but also feels like a comedy show at the same time, with Srikanth’s on time one liners and funny dialogues between him and JK.

The first season starts off with shrikant’s family life and explores his world has a secret government agent trying to stop terrorist attacks in India. Pakistan’s politicians and terrorist organisations plan an attack on India and try to start a war and overthrow the government.

Shrikant does stop many attacks but makes a terrible mistake and kills an innocent man , this makes his consciousness feel guilty, on the other his wife isn’t happy about him devoting all his time to the nation and kids don’t like it that he doesn’t earn much as a government employee but they are not aware of the truth.

Due to failure in not stopping an attack and to build a better relationship with his family , Shrikant quits his job and joins an IT firm.

Shrikant is tired of being a MINIMUM GUY  at the IT firm and its a super funny story how Shrikant quits this Job. Shrikant doubt that his wife is having an affair and the marriage is at stake, during all this Shrikant gets to know about the case that JK is working on and tries to help him from the outside but when things get out of control Shrikant decides to take the matter into his own hands. The story of Rajee, a Soldier of Sri Lanka’s government in exile, will blow your mind. But will shrikant be able to stop this attack on the Indian Prime Minister?

Manoj Bajpayee never fails with his acting , yet another amazing performance by him that makes you love the character and empathize with him. The whole cast of the series did their part but in some places you can feel the slack.

It’s hard to tell that particular scene is not necessary or the actor just isn’t into it, especially scenes where Milind is present. Both the seasons have a decent amount of action but Rajee steals the hearts in the second with her amazing performance and with ferocious combat skills. If it would have been a movie released in theatres the whole hall would have been whistling and going crazy watching her fight.

The transition from first season to the second seemed smooth and well written because both the stories are completely different and it doesn’t cause any confusion in the viewer’s head. The story of the series is inspired by daily news articles, putting multiple incidents together and forming into a story that revolves around a secret agent.

Things portrayed are not completely true but resemble contemporary incidents and geopolitical tensions. This makes the whole show believable and as we all know Indians love patriotic movies which could be another reason that the show has made a mark.
