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.
