Amazon Prime Video’s "Mirzapur" set high standards with its well-crafted gangster saga. Season one featured memorable characters and a gripping finale. However, season three, now directed by new creators, is criticized for being lethargic, poorly paced, and overstuffed with subplots. Despite some standout performances, especially by Ali Fazal, the season fails to match the excitement and focus of its predecessors.

"Gaanth," an 8-episode crime thriller on JioCinema, feels outdated and derivative. Inspired by the 2018 Burari Deaths, it’s the third show on this case. Despite good visuals and solid casting, the show is bogged down by incoherent writing and unoriginal characters. The plot drags, making it frustrating and unfocused, ultimately disrespecting the real-life tragedy it portrays.

"Baahubali: Crown Of Blood" is a nine-episode animated prequel series available on Disney+Hotstar. Set before the original saga, it explores the lives of iconic characters facing a new villain threatening Mahishmati's prosperity. However, the animation quality is subpar, hindering immersion. Despite potential, the series lacks compelling storytelling and falls short of the cinematic magic of its predecessors, feeling like a diluted imitation.
