So its the era of Web Series. A lot of the urban population is subscribing to Amazon Prime, Netflix or Hotstar. TV continues to entertain people however, web series is becoming a popular choice too. Watching your favorite series is trending as the latest way to unwind/recharge your batteries and enjoy some family time.
Today I share a sneak peak about my favorites and my experience. I have binged watch them literally so you can imagine they kept me hooked to my seat literally. There were days when I wanted to watch the next episode but shut the TV at 2 a.m.
Without more waiting lets begin.
๐Inside Edge:
My thrust with web series began with this one on #AmazonPrime. One of the first Amazon Prime Originals in India with Indian actors. Finished watching this one in 2 days. I am not a cricket fan but hubby dear is. This one gave a glimpse of the betting racket which goes behind our favorite sport. Must appreciate some fantastic performances by Richa Chaddha, Vivek Oberoi, Tarun Virwani and Angad Bedi.
๐คWhat to watch for: Hard hitting performances which show us the harsh and dark realities of sports world. Nowhere saying this may be the truth- its exciting!
๐ค Blindspot:
Second on the list but my most loved. This is a gripping series wherein a tattooed naked woman is found in a suitcase at Times Square by FBI. Each tattoo is a mystery in itself overall they unfold one of the biggest threat to the country. Each episode lures you into watching the next one. Two Seasons have been completed and I am currently enjoying the third season.
๐คWhat to watch for: The mystery behind the tattoos, the suspense, some great performances, the fabulous team work, inter-relationship between the team and their parallel lives which run along, I can simply go on. The third season has tested my patience on a lighter note with so many breaks in between. ๐
๐คExtant:
There are umpteen number of films and serials made on Artificial intelligence, humanoids, extraterrestrial beings. This one is a combination of all. Molly Woods (Halle Berry) goes on a 13 months solo mission to space and doesn’t come back alone! She is pregnant mysteriously although she has infertility issues. Her husband John, robotic engineer, has developed a android prototype Ethan who is a humanic. Its their journey to discover the sudden changes in their life.
๐คWhat to watch for: If aliens and humanics as a concept is something what you enjoy then this will keep you hooked.
๐Dr House M.D.:
This series is about an eccentric, sadist, weird, easily offends anyone, doesn’t show his love easily, still a fantastic doctor no second doubt about it, his diagnosis is the best. Coming from a healthcare background the attraction to the serial was that its related to the field.
๐คWhat to watch for: The fantastic differential diagnosis which the team does but the final nail is always thrown by the man himself. The parallel story of the individual characters. The relation between Dr. House and Dr. Wilson is just amazing. Love both these characters.
โ๏ธYeh Unn Dino Ki Baat Hai:
This is not a web series but a TV show on Sony TV. This really caught by attention with the depiction of the 90s, the characters are someone whom you can relate at home. With the backdrop of a love story I enjoy watching this one.
๐คWhat to watch for: Unlike other shows on television this is not a saas bahu drama or extra melodramatic show. Yes considering its a daily it still does not drag so much. Its a love story with some real sweet moments and a backdrop of a lovely family taking you back to the era gone by.
Do share if you liked any of the shows mentioned above or plan to watch. Show some love to this post and do let me know if I should share my favorite shows on a regular basis.

I am interested in the mysterious tattoo series and cricket one. I came across Unn Dino ki Baat Hai recently but never watched it. I am always a Hotstar person ๐ Lovely post!
Do share what you enjoy on hotstar would love to check those series too
Loved your article. I am too fascinated by Un Dino ki baat hai, it revives old golden memories of past.
Yes a great show unlike the high voltage drama on TV these days.
I prefer series over long serial which keep on going. Thanks for this list. Which one is the best to start with. Any suggestions?
Check Blind-spot as its 3 seasons or Breathe which is just 1 season.
Netflix is my heart beat, with so many series doing the rounds, i love to pick my series and give them a sound watch.
Thats great, these are some series to watch on Amazon Prime.
A good reference for a person like me who still need to venture into the web series watching.. am I too old fashioned ๐๐
Glad its helpful, I am sure once you start you wont stop watching series.
You guys are good at analyzing the TV shows deeply. Enjoyed your list, indeed.
Glad Vasantha ๐
A good list for me. I am going to watch Blindspot today. Is it available on youtube?
No not available on Youtube unfortunately.
That’s a nice list! I loved House and I do manage to catch Un Dino Ki baat hai, once in a while. It is great the way the serial is recreating the 90’s
Glad Neha yes they have done a good job in recreating the 90s.
Thank you for this. I haven’t watched blindspot or extant and am currently looking for a new TV show ๐
I am glad it was helpful ๐
Blindspot seems pretty interesting and I would love to check it out. Have seen a few episodes of House and like that too. Recently I saw Sacred Games, which was fabulous and I just completed season 4 of Dexter.
I would check Sacred Games and Dexter too.

I have watched House and I think loved it all minus the last season. Thanks for sharing now I have some more to watch ๐ today
Glad it was helpful Zainab ๐
‘Yeh un dino ki Baat Hai’ is one TV serial that I have started watching for the same reason. It is a treat to go back to your teen years while watching and finding the similarities between you and the characters. That era of no gadgets is cool to watch now. It makes me realise that I have grown up so big.
Yap so true Geethica ๐
