Aditya (Vikrant Massey) plays a cab driver, who ends up having a one night stand with one of his passengers and wakes up the next morning only to find her murdered. Obviously, he becomes the prime suspect in the case, but, did he actually do it?
Criminal Justice is a show that keeps you glued throughout the. 10 episodes Having a bunch of the finest actors in Bollywood at the moment obviously does kick things up a notch. Every actor is in sync with the dark, gripping mood of a crime that isn’t as simple as it seems.
However, it’s Vikrant Massey and Pankaj Tripathi’s presence that truly make the show special.

Streaming On: Amazon Prime Video
Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi and Neeraj Madhav
Starring Manoj Bajpayee, The
Family Man is an edgy action drama that revolves around a middle-class
man who’s a secret agent for the National Investigation Agency.
While he’s saving his country from terrorists, he also needs to protect
his family from the impact of his secretive yet low paying job. What
makes this Indian web series stand out is the fact that Bajpayee’s
family sidetrack that we witness in the show. Normally, spy based drama
is all about the action on the field but with this, we learn little more
about the character and his personal life resulting in a sense of
attachment to the lead. It also addresses a very sensitive issue
regarding how Muslims are mistreated as we see many students are shown
being harassed and humiliated by the cops for no reason other than the
fact that they are Muslim. Manoj Bajpayee, as usual, is effortless and
completely immerses himself in the character.

Virat Kohli-Esque player of the team. He’s brash, aggressive, messed-up
but with a heart of gold and boy can he bat. Inside Edge is a typical
guilty pleasure watch with each episode that leaves you wanting more. The web series follows the typical underdog and overachiever formula.
