    Somewhere in there, in all the roiling and toiling, are the bones of a crackerjack thriller. But this loosely written season 2, bouncing in and out of a kidnapping drama, and the creation and search of a psychotic killer, gets mired in its own muddles, and ends up being plain preposterous.

    Breathe: Into the Shadows Is A Woefully Written Thriller with Zero Imagination
    One can’t help but wonder if the makers just stopped trusting their performers midway and instead altered the script to manipulate the myths of mental illness

    The art direction leaves nothing to the imagination - fat books on psychiatry are carefully placed next to flower vases as decorative pieces in a shrink's clinic. Pieces of the puzzle fall into place too fast, too often and comic breaks are handled in a ham handed fashion - haven't we moved on beyond the Maharashtrian versus north Indian food jokes in school? The music is average while the cinematography demands more, especially when the core subject deals with human emotions, which demands closer and tighter shots.
    Over all, it's an interesting premise with some decent performances.

    When Breathe season 1 released in early 2018, the Indian digital content universe was just at its beginning, waiting to burst open with new possibilities. Despite its obvious flaws, the first season brimmed with a new story-telling voice and was extremely watchable. This very universe in 2020 is populated with all kinds of stories and genres, pushing the boundaries of what is "watchable." Breathe: Into The Shadows demands too much from the viewer, but doesn't give anything cohesive or authentic back.

    Sacred Games 2 Reviews By Critics

    Ratings: 4/5 Review By: Saibal Chatterjee Site: NDTV

    Taken as a whole, the eight new episodes of the Netflix original series not only measure up to what was always going to be a hard act to follow, but also, in many ways, improve upon the build-up that was crafted with style and precision in Season 1. Sacred Games Season 2 delivers a dynamic tale that harnesses the flexible power of the source material to not only entertain but also to provoke and disturb.

    Since this is a Netflix show, each episode ends with a cliffhanger, almost to a point of being predictable. The violence and expletives are omnipresent; it has almost become a grammar, a tadka of the series. You're curious enough to want to put the jigsaw pieces of the plot together, and invested enough to have favourites, but Sacred Games season 2 teases you; it wants you dive deeper and show you that no character is really "good" or "bad" in the face of danger.

    The second season of Sacred Games is viler, looser, freer and consequently better than the first. Season Two is nicely nuts through and through and so, it feels like one piece. Multitudes emerge in characters and turn them richer.

    The wait was worth it. Sacred Games 2 is far bigger and better than the previous season. The making of Ganesh Gaitonde has everything you would expect from a classic Netflix tale, and more. Which means, you’re in for a thrilling time, and this one could put Indian storytellers on the world map.
    Like the first season, this one can also be accused of wrapping and presenting cheap thrills in the name of a thriller, but it’s perfectly mounted and is one of the best shows on Netflix. In fact, it may become another Narcos or Money Heist for the streaming app. India couldn’t have given it a better Launchpad.

    The game is afoot (again). Netflix India's Sacred Games is back for a second season, this time expanding beyond the novel by Vikram Chandra and into the turbulent territory of the unknown blazed by Big Little Lies, The Handmaid's Tale, and Game of Thrones.
    And out there, it holds its own.
    Not that Sacred Games Season 2 is the revelation its predecessor was, or that it necessarily justifies its existence in the way that show-based-on-book sequels don't even bother trying to. But it remains a gripping mystery, an embarrassment of riches when it comes to showcasing Indian actors, and part of the growing mountain of exceptional Indian television that burst onto the scene last year.
