Best Web Series 2019
Indian web series has grown to become one of the best sources of inspiration and entertainment, thanks to the advent of Netflix and amazon prime. To get you started, we’ve compiled a list of the best Indian web series that you’d love to watch on repeat.
2019 has seen many web series. There has been an abundant inflow of content but let's be honest, it's rare to find a series that is good enough to leave an impact. Here are some of the best web series of 2019 so far.
We are already at the half-way mark of 2019 and so far, we have seen a fair share of web series from around the world. The content that was once largely a domain of the western players is now attracting desi makers as well. But in the times when content is available in abundance, the danger of quantity over quality has become a valid threat across all platforms. With streaming services launching new shows every other day, it has become quite tricky to catch the audience’s attention because let’s be honest, by the time you are done with one series, you have three more in your watchlist and it becomes almost impossible to catch up.
1. Sacred Games.
Sacred Games is indeed one of the best web series that depicts action, crime, and drama in a powerful way. Having its roots from the book Sacred Games, the storyline primarily revolves around Sartaj Singh, a Mumbai police officer and a gangster named Gaitonde who even thinks him to be God. You will find yourself traveling through a series of mystery, drama, deeper corruption in law, and lots of fighting and action that make it worth the watch. As the name of this Indian web series suggests, the whole story is designed as a part of a game or a play and keeps you glued to the end of each episode with lots of excitement.
2. Mirzapur.
An Indian crime thriller series showcased on Amazon Prime, Mirzapur has undoubtedly taken the audience by storm with an impeccable acting and an exciting plot. The series is majorly based in Mirzapur, with some scenes being shot in Ghazipur, Jaunpur, Azamgarh, Lucknow, and Gorakhpur.
The plot spins around guns, mafia, drugs, and mayhem. The story revolves around Akhandanand Tripathi (played by Pankaj Tripathi) who has earned crores by exporting carpets.
Tripathi ends up becoming the mafia boss of Mirzapur and his son Munna, an undeserving, dictatorial successor, follows his father’s footsteps to continue the legacy of chaos, lawlessness, and mafiagiri.
It then becomes exciting to watch the drama unfold. The series stars Pankaj Tripathi, Vikrant Massey, Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Divyendu Sharma, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the lead.
3. Breathe.
A crime series launched in January 2019, Breathe has undoubtedly taken the Indian storytelling to another level. The plot revolves around the lives of ordinary men who are faced with unexpected situations.
Kabir Sawant, a talented officer of the criminal division, assembles the missing pieces of unrelated deaths, all of which lead him to a common suspect. It is exciting to watch how the drama unfolds between the suspect who is trying to save his dying son and the officer who is adamant to impart justice.
4. Delhi Crime.
Depicting the most notorious rape case in India, Delhi Crime has won major critical acclaim since it aired the first season. Its second season has also been announced after the success of the first.
It stars Shefali Shah, Adil Hussain, Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, and many other brilliant actors. The series is based on the 2012 Delhi gang-rape case, which is widely known as the Nirbhaya case. A 23-year-old girl and her male friend were beaten up and brutally assaulted in a running bus near Munirka in New Delhi while they were going home after catching a movie.
The girl was gang-raped and assaulted with an iron rod, following which the pair was thrown naked and injured on the road, after which the culprits tried to run them over with the bus. Delhi Crime tells the story from the perspective of the Delhi Police and how they dealt with what emerged as the most brutal rape case ever seen in India.
Sacred Games and Mirzapur kept the internet awake in 2018, with their sequels planned to release in 2019, we are quite sure that the netizens are going to have a good time in 2019 as well. While Sacred Games is releasing on April 2019, Mirzapur will release in the second half of the year. Apart from these stalwart web series, a lot of other series are all set to join the list. 2019 is a great year, we have Game of Thrones ending, we have the Cricket World Cup, we have general elections in India and then we have some amazing web series and movies releasing.
For a long time, the Indian film industry and the television industry have been in two different leagues. While Bollywood has been making waves globally with its content, our television industry has refused to reinvent itself and remained stuck to the same melodrama which we have been watching for years. Thankfully, the introduction of Indian web series in the country brought about a fresh wave of new and innovative content. Creators are not shying away from trying to think and create content that is out of the box. The biggest motivating factor in this is the lack of censorship.
The battle of creators with the censors has been going on since ages. While the creators feel that their content is actually putting a mirror on the things that are happening in our society, the censors think otherwise. With the lack of censorship, creators on the webspace are now free to present their story the way they actually want to. While the web space in the country is still relatively young, we have got enough glimpses of the potential of the content which we are able to produce. So, we list down some of our favorite Indian web series that you definitely must check out.
