And the same tone continues for seven whole episodes before we finally hit a different gear in the final episode.
Amid all this, there are still some untrusting friends, a daughter who still needs a therapist (like yesterday), and a son who is still haunted by the ghosts of his dad’s killer. Aarya has to meander through lying, backstabbing family members, neighbourhood drug lords, and mean Russians who are quite docile and friendly, to be honest. The chaos is more of the same that you watched in season one. The change-up leads to more chaos in her life, which I am still trying to figure out if it was a very slick piece of writing (that my silly brain could not fathom) or a very lazy one. She has to give testimony against her husband's killers, which include her father with a Raja Dashrath syndrome, the silliest brother imaginable and a new entry: a cuddly drug lord. But the evil drag-back and blackmail puts her off police and the judiciary, bringing a change in her plans at the last moment. In the new season, Aarya Sareen (Sushmita) has returned to India (rather, dragged back), with her brood, from the safety of witness protection. Instead, we are served more of the same things as season one, quite literally at times. However, there are some good things to be found here, such as how Sushmita Sen is still the perfect fit as the urban mum with a ton of troubles, and that brilliant final episode, which comes so close to the craziness of Breaking Bad, you almost want to ring up Madhvani and ask him why could not the rest of it have been like this? From the shoddy performances by the supporting cast to conveniently changing moralities, a lot of things weigh down this crime drama. Ram Madhvani's second release in two months, Aarya's season two tests your patience in more ways than one.
