Something new
I know there are some flaws in the story but you have to accept that this kind of series is never made in Indian shows. Try to watch this rather then nonsense tv shows! Bollywood need this right now!

Probably the best hindi thriller series of all time
If this show had a budget like Hollywood, this could have been one of the best thriller series of all time. The plot is unbelievably good! It has the ability to force you to binge watch. The actors have done a great job, the director in his budget did more than what he could have i guess. What i feel is that we are so used to of watching Hollywood and Netflix that we expect the same kind of screenplay which was not upto the mark, not the entire thing but the transition of scenes, the finer details like the coding part. But more or less it was worth the wait for 3 long years. Hat's off to the writing team, you guys have done something which will be appreciated not today, not tomorrow, somewhere in future.
A trite addition to the crime/detective genre
Stellar Performance, Outplayed Season 1

Something different from terror based series
Something different from terror based series and contains glimpse of future technology and mix of mythology made it interesting
Really season 2 of most of series disappointed bt this is really worth watching
It also gives logical ending to season 2 and still keeping space for season 3 and can be watched with family and also don't have abusive words.psychopath killer with a twisted philosophy deep-seated in Indian mythology is on the loose. Two forensic officers from the CBI are close on heals to catch the serial killer but with a twist of fate, they get caught in a dreadful situation. Must watch.

Must Must Watch
What have I just finished... I've decided to watch this once all the episodes are out and guess what they did it on a weekend.
I still can't get over it... Who is Kali? When this will end?
Smart writing will keep you wondering what's coming next. I just hope this time makers and publishers don't take too long.
No filth, No cuss words pure content makes this series stand apart.. You can enjoy it with your family.
Spare 7-8 hrs of your life for this series you will not be disappointed.
Last but not the least the acting, cinematography is top notch. You can't find a fault in the entire series it's so perfect.

ASUR: A very well thought "Mythology based crime thriller" ruined by poor acting and roughly executed, flawed ending.
Don't worry about the many negative reviews. Watch for yourself
I read some spoiler-free reviews prior to watching the series. After completing it, I realised there are 3 types of people leaving reviews here:-
1. The SUPER GENIUS ones pointing out where the CBI made mistakes. To these, I would like to say, this is a web series! If the CBI humans are not shown to make mistakes and miss some clues here and there, how would the story even progress further? What do you guys want? A single 10 minute episode in which the super intelligent protagonist solves everything? Why do you even watch thrillers if you want that?
And talking about the camera angles in the murder footage, just leave the director alone guys, there's no need to give 1 star for something like that, you can rather deduct 1 or 2 stars for such plot holes like I have done.
2. The COOL ONES who only like what Hollywood or foreign web series' throw at there faces.
These people are all fine and happy with the VERY VERY vaguely explained time travel in end game. But have much problem with a little plothole here and there with an Indian series.
These people are complaining about poor acting from the cast. I can assure you, the actors have brought forward the emotions perfectly. The people saying Arshad Warsi's character is lacking expression obviously have no idea of the psychology of people working in this sector. Someone working in the CBI and constantly dealing with murders and crimes would obviously have much more control over their emotions than normal people, so that is not lack of expression but rather a meticulous display of the behaviour of an CBI official.
3. The ones who actually appreciate that India is now actually making or at least trying to make good web series. Kudos to you people!
Now, talking about the ending, even I didn't like it. But at least give the director a chance to show us what he has in mind! Just wait for season 2 man! Don't be so harsh on the team and give 1 or 2 stars just because you didn't like the ending!
Thanks!

What is that?
A lot of things just doesn't make sense at all in this tv show. How things are done are always will be questionable. Just not worth watching.
I think the ratings are falsely created.

Hangover of Asur not gone yet
I'm in Asur hangover. The opening & ending background music is haunting. It's stuck in my head. Honestly, it's one of the best shows I've seen thus far. Can't stop raving about the writing, direction and acting.

Asur is Outstanding. I saw the first episode and ended up seeing till last in a day. This is completely on a different level. I have never seen this kind of series in India
Everything is good about Asur, Be it the writing which kept me hooked and guessing till last. Or the Actors, Director, music. Completely a worth watch. Waiting for season 2.

HONEST REVIEW :- "NOT WORTH THE HYPE..!!"
Logic is replaced with intuition. Intuition cannot be explained, and so as the murders get solved with a sudden ease, you lose interest. There is a believability to it that makes for engaging viewing. Here, you sort of give up on trying to connect the dots, or even understand more deeply how the murders were concocted. (Intuition in thrillers is often a result of lazy writing.)
Then, there is the convenient use of Indian mythology that has space for both gore and lore. Using mythology to make something sound sexier, edgier almost, is similar if not the same as using Urdu to make damp squib moments sound romantic. (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Kalank) It is quite easy to spot the pointlessness of the exchange. Not going to talk on potholes and mistakes as they are explained aptly in above reviews but one thing for sure, brevity is not one of Asur's priorities.

Excellent writing and story presentation
Asur 2 is perfect mythological thriller that holds you till the end with twist and turns that unfold in every episode its basically genuinues of villen who trick the Dhanjay rajpoot and his team every time.
Arshad Warsi has done the justice to the charcter which is so well written. Same goes for Varun Arora and Amey wagh The Concept on which this show is based (Artificial intelligence for user behaviour and prediction) And blend of the mythological story perfectly fits the narrative of the show Other Starcast also done their job well but some of the scenes is so lengthy which was unnecessary and stretches the story till the episode 8 If the editing would have been tight this show is perfect for 6 episodes
If you compile Hacking scenes by anupriya goneka It will be 30 mins short episode where she is executing codes from geeks for geeks (fun aside) The scene where arshad Warsi and anupriya are torturing a character you can see a blunder in editing. There are 4 5 scenes where it look likes they have made this in hurry to upload it on jio cinema (all this scenes are ignorable and audience might not notice even in first glance)
Visuals ,sound design and background score Lifts the show higher than ever If you compare with S01 the quality has been improved so as the stakes of the show
Some characters may have find their ending but show has hinted for Season 3 or not Watch and decide ror yourself
Must watch web series I would say this is best work from india.
On a philosophical level this surpass sacred games.

Plotholes galore!
Brilliantly written & Very well executed ! A must watch for Thriller lovers !
After watching the complete season, I would like to describe this show with a few adjectives.
SPELLBINDING
INTRIGUING
THOUGHT-PROVOKING
INCREDIBLE
MIND-BLOWING
Having watched the show, I can say with a fair degree of confidence that this show is top-notch & world-class. It must be shown to the world and should not be restricted to Indian audiences only. Great work by the creator Gaurav Shukla & writers Gaurav Shukla Niren H Bhatt & Vinay Chhawal
Ably directed by Oni Sen
Brilliantly performed by Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra, Anupria Goenka, Sharib Hashmi, Gaurav Arora & Amey wagh. Watch the show and impressions will be etched in your minds forever.
I can't wait for the second season.
