What a series! Mind blowing acting, screenplay! The last scene of the last episode, it sounds like another season will come surely.

The family man.

Just completed the second season as soon as it dropped on PrimeVideo and I got here to recommend you to watch it *ASAP*. All the people unsatisfied with the ending of the first season shall be satisfied in the very first episode.

With all due respect to Sacred Games and Mirzapur, both of whose first season were, in my opinion, better than first season of The Family Man, but had a slightly under-expected season 2. The Family Man, on the other hand, ups the ante and comes out a winner among Hindi thrillers in the OTT space.

Manoj Bajpayee perfectly fits into both the roles of a family man as well as an undercover agent. Bring on the action, bring on the humour, Manoj sir can do it all and how effortlessly. Watch out for. Samantha as Raji in the second season where she plays a character willing to go to any length, physically or emotionally, to reach her target.

Special shout-out to Sumeet Kotian for the crisp editing throughout the series and the directors for the brilliant show.

Gotta say, Raj and DK are one of the torch bearers of Indian OTT platforms. The Family Man is amongst the most popular Indian series and as of writing this review season 2 has finished.

At this point there's no need to praise Manoj Bajpayee for his skills. Just be thankful he exists and gifts us with these gems and we must protect him at all costs.

One of the best things about this series is the writing of characters. Small or lead characters, everyone is paid attention to detail and they exist for a reason. The antagonists are always very very well written which makes this more nail biting. Apart from that, background score, production design, dialogues are top notch.

VFX could be better with bigger budget and sometimes there are dues ex machina happening with either event or character which is a let down but nonetheless it's still entertaining, sometimes shocking with sprinkles of comic moments.

Lastly, The family man is a must watch show and ironically not family friendly.

I believe i am the first person to complete the entire series and i am pretty sure i am in no position to go to the office right now. One thing about which i am very confident about is - Its one of the best Indian TV series so far. Amazing acting, Amazing direction, Super Amazing cinematography and what not.

It was worth watching in a single go. I was completely engaged in the storyline. I would personally recommend it. Its totally different and its very much unpredictable.

Good Job Team /\

Jack Ryan, which also happens to be an Amazon original used to be my favourite action/drama series until I saw this masterpiece. This series is very realistic and an exciting take on spy based series where the spy drives some old messed up hatchback and not an Aston Martin. The series also shows how the underpaid job of a spy affects Sri and his family. 10/10 would recommend. Doesn't matter which country you're from

Worth to watch. Manoj Bajpai's acting was superb and the story is good.

After delivering an award-winning and extremely successful The Family Man Season 1, Raj & DK along with Suparn Varma perfectly created an engrossing sequel. The sharp writing, well-choreographed action sequences, impressive performances, and gripping screenplay are the major highlights of the show.

The opening scene is absorbing, initial episodes are fast-paced, humorous, and engaging. Each episode is shown with the right balance of entertainment and thrills. The character development was rightly achieved and various subplots are opened well. The series drops a little bit in midways but it catches speed from its 7th episode. The last 2 episodes are well executed & it takes the series to another level, the screenplay will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The credit of keeping the viewers hooked to the screen majorly goes to Manoj Bajpayee.

Manoj Bajpayee delivered an outstanding performance, right from the first episode he steals every scene with his expression and dialogue delivery. Equally good is Sharib Hashmi, he also delivered an impressive performance. Priyamani, Devadarshini, and Seema Biswas are fine in their supporting roles.

Samantha Akkineni as Raji is one of the best things about the series. She has chosen a great role and series to introduce herself to the Hindi and global audiences. Samantha plays the antagonist in the series and does complete justice to her character. Special mention for Ashlesha Thakur, she is excellent as Dhriti. Vedant Sinha as Atharv plays his part very well.

The cinematography by Cameron Eric Bryson is breathtaking, especially in the climax and the attack scenes at the police station. Ketan Sodha's background score is excellent. Sumeet Kotian's editing is crisp and compact. The series ends on a great note with the promise of a stirring Season 3.

The Family Man 2 Rating: Direction 4/5 Acting 4.5/5 Dialogues 4/5 Action 4/5 Screenplay 3.5/5 Overall Hit ya Flop Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars (Binge-Worthy)

Mind blowing show by Raj & DK,.

Samantha's debut is perfect, she just nailed it.

No words for Manoj Vajpayee, just fabulous.

Chellam, Dont Be A Minimum Guy, and not what... Its a full show with humor,action, thrill.

Enjoyed fully.

First of all I am happy with the fact that now people atleast know secret agents are not like Salman Khan's character Tiger (from Ek Tha Tiger , Tiger Zinda Hai), Secret agents are not commandos who can beat a bulk of villain singlehandedly, so you can say the level of Indian Series is going up.

Now talking about this series, I liked the concept, I liked the over all story, acting. Remember one thing this series is about a family man who also works for a secret team whose main task is... Okay I am not goning to give spoilers. Directors did really well in that part , the balance of life between work and a very normal family with two cute kids.

Now the things that could be better: It started really well, 'Dance of Death' was best eposide in my opinion. Show was going really well upto this part, but then directors tried to do some thing more, tried to put more twists, and ended up doing illogical things.

Dont read from this point if you haven't watched it yet: If you have watched this then you know there was a plan B, now can any one explain me why the terrorists were not executing plan B first...?? It was easier right??

Manoj Bajpai is a great actor and well supported by the rest of the cast. The story is great and the way they handled sensitive issues is commendable but. Give it a try. It's definitely a binge watch

I watched the whole series in one go , really its awesome, interesting storyline direction and obviously the acting

I don't understand why 10 star for such mediocre show ... Are indian officers so dumb... I mean one millitant can easily escape 10 agents with guns surrounding her from all sides just by acting and crying ... Also they kept her such that she gets extracted easily killing most agents ... An intelligent officer wud rathr wound such millitant to an extent she wud not be able to carry any mission, knowing such extraction only means she was important.... Problem is not show, problem is dumb officers .... Detailing was good... Directors clearly used tamil language with confidence follwing shows like narcos doing same using different langy like Spanish in English show... Problem with Indian shows are they just have central story .... Where as if u see international series they have one Central story surrounding by many different short episode long story cnetral story grows along with thosee small stories .. which gives every episodes it's importance .... But we are for from that as writers here are not that wise... They only do research and set up stories which are they asked to ... They don't have intelligence to link multiple events and give big great finale ...

Changing scenario in Indian storytelling and combining it with visuals is the product called THE FAMILY MAN. What a gripping story, initially I thought same old spy story but man i was wrong, this story is as real as it gets in the real world. Wonderful cast well directed and acting credit goes to all especially Manoj Bajpayee stole the show. Hope this is not a one or two seasons kind a thing this should get at least 4 to 5 seasons... Totally enjoyed and every one should watch it.

This review is for the entire 1st season.

Have reviewed few individual episodes of this season cos they are awesome.

In short this is a very entertaining web series supported with enuff thrills.

Very rare to come across such a good content from Bollywood.

This is good. Manoj Bajpai killed it. He is an extraordinary actor. He made it look so simple.

Anticipating the next season simply, intrigued by the direction mindset and screenplay .I just hope it's critically acclaimed by right viewership.

The Family Man succeeds at being a surprisingly funny spy series; equally capable of snappy one-liners is a must-watch. Please not for SOTY aur saas bahu type series lover. And also not for those who carry their sentiments in their ass , watch the show and enjoy.

U can say it is India top 5 web series. Must watch reason is shrikant tiwari aka manoj bajpayee nd all the family members of him in web series.

One of the best show by amazon .Watched it in one shot.Probably more entertaining than sacred games.You dont want avoid any episode when you start watching it.Addictive,entertaining.Best direction and screenplay.Must watch you wont regret.

Poor season ending with a little bit of bias and sympathetic towards the terrorists, probably to give another side of their story. Sadly though terrorism can't be justified. But acting was just top notch especially manoj vajpayee. The story lost it's plot towards the end. The 6th and 7th episodes were the best for this season. Great season considering bollywood standards but overall it is just an average one.

What do i say!! This is engaging, entertainig and thrilling. Binge watched it and just now finished with it. Manoj Bajpayee is the one to watch out for in this series. He is the perfect casting for the role of Shrikant.. Every other actor has done his/ her role perfectly. Go, watch it guys. You are going to love it.

Best web series in the prime video must watch it.2019 best web series goes to the family man
