• Critics single out the atmospherics, noting moody night photography and a jungle setting that deepens the show’s sense of menace.
• Some reviews fault the pacing and character depth across brisk episodes of roughly 20 minutes, with the narrative described as stretched in places.
• The portrayal of custodial violence and casteist hostility provokes discomfort and debate, as early scores span from 3.5/5 to 2.5/5 across outlets.
