Sacred Games Season 2 first impression: Exactly what your long weekend needs

In terms of story, without giving much away, we can say that just with the first episode, the binge-watching is bound to start again. Saif Ali Khan’s Sartaj has a new pal in his investigation and though he is no Katekar, his energy fuels the tension that is much needed with the threat of a nuclear war. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Gaitonde has moved on after his stint in jail but his actions haven’t changed. Pankaj Tripathi’s Guruji brings an undeniable charisma on screen that is sure to leave you spellbound. The political and social issues dealt here might ruffle some feathers but that wouldn’t be the first time that Kashyap’s work invites controversy.

This season is written by Varun Grover, Dhruv Narang, Nihit Bhave and Pooja Tolani and directed by Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan. Ghaywan steps into Vikramaditya Motwane’s shoes and it’s pleasing to see that the grammar of the show hasn’t changed much. The concept of dividing shows into seasons is still new in India and so it is a delight to see that the multiple character storylines have been carried on to the second season with ease.

After watching the first two episodes of Sacred Games 2, we recommend that you spend this long weekend watching the Netflix series in the comfort of your home.
