Hello Friends,
I am back again to share a dope on the web series that has been kept me glued.
In the past few months, it has been an overload of law, murder, and mystery for me.
I started with Suits having a Corporate Law backdrop followed by How to Get Away with Murder. This one is a masala filled with suspense, mystery and lots of surprises. Scandal another law theme-based show reflects the politics behind the world of American Politics.
There were some thrillers which I am a huge fan of like Bodyguard, Rook, and Dark. Also, some Indian web series like Made in Heaven and Mind the Malhotras.
๐ Suits – American drama series
Starring Gabriel Macht (Harvey) who recruits Patrick J. Adams (Mike Ross) a talented college dropout as his associate, as he manages to impress him with his knowledge not knowing the truth that he isn’t a lawyer. Set in New York they are part of a law firm handling the top Corporates in the city. It’s about the evolution of the characters and the firm itself, their equation with each other and the challenges they face. The main characters Harvey, Mike, Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), Louis (Rick Hoffman), Donna (Sarah Rafferty), Jessica (Gina Torres) each have their plus and minuses and despite everything how they overcome to keep their firm going on is what the series is about.
๐คWhat to watch for: All character stand out in their own way but my personal favorite is Harvey Spectar what a character, a performance I feel of a lifetime. With the final season running currently I will surely miss Harvey and Donna.
๐ปWhere to watch: Amazon Prime or Netflix
๐ How to Get Away with Murder – American drama series
Thinking how this is a law based series? Well hmm, in this series most of the laws are broken for the good or bad you have to check it for yourself. It has completed 5 seasons with the 6th about to start. The premise of the show is how Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) who teaches law at Philadelphia university picks up 5 students and how they get involved in a murder plot. The story runs with lots of cliffhangers which you need to pay attention to. You need to focus on the timeline to get the story correct. From one to another murder how the lives of the students and the associates working with Annalise intertwine, is what the series is about. I have totally binged watched this one.
๐คWhat to watch for: For the mystery, suspense, different characters – a complete package.
๐ป Where to watch: Netflix
๐ Scandal – American thriller series
It’s a political thriller aired over seven seasons. Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) & Associates (OPA) is the go-to person handling crisis management at the President’s office. The show revolves around how Olivia and her team want to get justice for people however the center point is always the Oval Office.
๐คWhat to watch for: Simple for the scandals as they add meat to the storyline.
๐ป Where to watch: Amazon Prime
๐ซ Bodyguard – British TV series
David Budd who is a war veteran is being posted as a police sergeant in London. He is been assigned as a Bodyguard to the Home Secretary. the storyline explores the fear of David while working in Afghanistan, his personal life issues, his commitment to his work and how he gets involved in a murder which he hasn’t committed.
๐คWhat to watch for: The storyline.
๐ป Where to watch: Netflix
โ The Rook – American TV series
The story is based out of London about Myfanwy Thomas who wakes up near the London Millennium Bridge only to realize that her memory is wiped out. Through various events which follow she discovers that she works for a Britain’s secret service agency called Checguy. The series is about how she reconnects with who she is. The initial pace of the story is slow and might seem confusing but it builds up as you go on. Its a decent attempt to keep you engaged, nothing extraordinary.
๐คWhat to watch for: The storyline.
๐ป Where to watch: Amazon Prime
โณ Dark – German TV series
As the name suggests this one has a lot of mysterious elements which keeps you puzzled. Initially, you may get a feel what is going on but as the story unfolds you are able to connect the dots. If you don’t like cliffhangers then wait for the finale next year and watch the complete series otherwise just go ahead. The character evolution and the storyline keeps you gripped. The story is based out of a small German town where a kid goes missing and how they are unable to trace them, the story connects the relations of 4 key families across 3 timespans. Trust me it could question your intelligence! It’s about the dark side of time travel.
๐คWhat to watch for: The storyline which reflects how the past, present, and future are connected and the characters,

๐ Made in Heaven & Mind the Malhotras – Indian Web Series
So, with an increase in population watching web series, Indian web series is on a roll too. We have some good content coming up on various platforms. Different story concepts have been touched upon through these web series, unlike the usual saas-bahu dramas which are accustomed to watching on the idiot box.
Made in Heaven is directed by one of my favorites Zoya Aktar so it has to be on my watchlist. Unlike the positive reviews shared across I have mixed feelings for the show maybe because my expectations from Zoya are very high. The basic backdrop is about Tara and Karan who manage some elite weddings in the country. Tara herself is married to a top shot but how? Karan is a homosexual and is his life simple? Hidden secrets behind weddings is it dark or bright? Watch the series to get answers to these questions.
Mind the Malhotras echos the monotony which sets in a marriage once you have been living together for quite some time. It’s a light comedy. Cyrus Sahukar and Mini Mathur are refined actors and totally worth a watch.
๐คWhat to watch for: Made in Heaven reflects some complex issues of Indian life while Mind the Malhotras is a light comedy reflecting the dullness which comes in a marriage after a few years.
๐ป Where to watch: Amazon Prime
From the previous posts, I am awaiting the finale for Blindspot this year and next season of Manifest excitedly. I am keen to know what are thoughts if you have watched any of these series or which series have you been watching. Waiting to hear from you ๐

Great web series recommendations! Im a binge watcher and have watched these; all superb ; mind the Malhotras is fresh on the block ; currently binging in Outlander
That great to know. ๐
You have reviewed some of my favorite shows! Keep at it!
Glad you found the post useful ๐
These are some awesome suggestions. I enjoy binge watch web series, Suits , Made in Heaven, Dark are my all time fav web series. I am yet to watch Scandal.
That’s great to know that you have watched some of the shows ๐
These are some really interesting series. Just finished the Sacred Games-2 series and now looking out for something interesting. Guess will zero in on Scandals.
Hope you enjoy it ๐
I had started watching Made in heaven recently but got bore after your mini review I might just give it a try again. And pls suggest some chickflicks or comedies that i can watch on prime
Mind the Malhotras is a decent one. You can check Comistaan if you like stand up comedy some good stuff there too.
I always thought to watch web series but never get time coz of kids off course. After reading this list I am curious to see them .
Hope you get sometime to watch them it would be a good break
I like the concept of web series, much better than the regular shows . I loved watching suits and mind the malhotras
I liked the concept of web series too.
Made in heaven is my favourite of all. I enjoyed each episode and the end was epic. A must watch series for sure.
Good to know that you liked it so much ๐
Wow! These shows look really good… Thank you for sharing this list… I am going to binge watch next weekend! ๐
Do share your experience ๐
Wow! What a list…Now a days, web series are more popular and convenient compared to TV and You have compiled the nice ones. Will watch!
True series have become quite popular to TV. ๐
Scandal and Bodyguard are my favourite web series that I have seen among all of the mentioned ones.
That’s good to know you enjoyed them too ๐
I am on the lookout for some good series too all the time.
I have mixed feelings reading your review, only because i have a different opinion on some of the shows and for some i an in agreement with you! And i think that is so wonderful about blogs like yours – it gives a window into a different opinion and allows one to think about our own experience of it.
2 examples. –
The Rook -I liked it.
second, the malhotras series, i took the membership to watch this show actually, and lost interest by episode 2! i was quite crestfallen!
The Dark is a new one and i havent heard or seen it yet… definitely adding it to my TBW watch – thanks for the reco ๐
I am glad to read your perspective about the common series.
My initial reaction with Rook was what is going on can we like move a bit fast but as it progresses the story keeps you involved.
Mind the Malhotras you need to watch it for 2-3 episodes to get the hang of it because the pace and storyline kind of remains the same thought the series.
If you are watching Dark watch it till the end don’t give up it will keep you interest you.
Hahaโฆ.now here we both agree! I too wanted to tell them to get on with the secrets already! ๐ i will go back and try malhotras again. Dark i checked out after reading your post, it is dubbed but interesting premise! Scary too
Yes Dark is dubbed coz it’s a German series. It’s not scary it’s too mysterious and it takes time to get a hang of the story.
I as a principal keep at a hands distance from web series. For the simple reason that I feel I will get so engrossed that I will get sucked in. But yes, the names that you have mentioned are some popular ways
Yes, web series do keep you engrossed but you have the flexibility to watch them at your ease and they are good stress buster.
The list is great infact I have watched a couple of them like suits and the rook. Right now I am waiting for God friended me season 2 and Mirzapur season 2. Hope is doesnโt disappoint like sacred games 2
That’s great to know you have watched a few of these. I liked God Friended Me too it gave a very positive feel.
Yes, all stories have great ending
๐
Just adding one more to this well curated list – Sacred Games. Suits is a personal favorite. But I found Mind the Malhotras to be quite boring.
Sacred Games had been a favourite of many. Mind the Malhotras has a slow pace.
It has been some time since I quit watching television. Looks like I have to make a comeback to web shows!!
๐
I’ve seen a few of the series you’ve mentioned here. The German series, Bodyguard and How to Get away with Murder are now on my “To Watch” series! Seriously addicting, isn’t it?
Yes web series are addictive. Good part is that they are finite and each season has max 20-25 episodes.
Iโve watched just Made in Heaven from this list. Wrapped up 3 reasons why and I am waiting for season 2 of Manifest.
Haven’t watched 13 Reasons Why, looks like a good watch.
Hey Manisha, thanks for this lovely list. I am trying to take out some time to relax while watching some web series. And here, you made my search easy.
Glad you found the post useful, Geethica ๐
Suits is my personal favourite. Itโs addictive. I couldnโt stop at one episode and Harvey Spector is the MAN. I just fell for him. The murder is also nice. Looks like u r into suspense and thriller kinda stuff. U will love Dr. House too. Keep watching n keep sharing.
Loved watching Bodyguard and Made in Heaven. And MIH was such a breath of fresh air, I binged it while Ganpati was ongoing ๐
Good to know that you liked these series too ๐๐
Thanks for the consolidated list. It has some great picks. I have caught a few (Suits, Bodyguard, and Made In Heaven). Going to bookmark the post for the Holidays.
Glad you found the post useful ๐. Do share your experiences.
I am not much of a web series person but you’ve got me interested. Will check out Suits.
๐๐
I totally binge on web series on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Suits is on my list. I’m gonna watch it for sure now ๐

That is one nice collection … I have watched suits among these… Not to spoil it for you.. but it is quite good in start seasons…
I want to wat h Dark season 2 but before that I need a proper recap of season 1…been so long. And that storyline was so mind bending
I loved Made In Heaven series! Super impactful. A few others you have mentioned here look interesting. Will check out.
Sure, do lemme know which one you liked ๐
Haven’t watched any of these web series but seems are interesting ones ๐
That’s a lovely list and truth be told, I am huge Harvey fan, started watching suits at the start of the year and have watched numerous reruns of the show. Such is the effect the show has left on me. Along with that I have watched three little shots and what if.
I haven’t watched Three little shots, lemme check it out.
Thank you mahek for helping me with webseries. I was looking for the reviews of made in heaven…. See I got it. ๐ I guess Netflix has more good series than amazon prime.
By the way you can try watching Barot House (Zee app). It is also good. Thriller.
Will check it out thanks for sharing ๐
I have watched all the seasons of Suits and I simply love. I have also finished Made in Heaven and Mind the Malhotras but I have started others. Will check them out soon.
Great. Hope you like them too.
I am a sucker for web series but somehow I am more into k dramas. But I am glad I stumbled upon this post of yours, because you have suggested most dramas from my favourite genre- Thriller. I am really intrigued with the German series Dark and will definitely put it on my watch list. Thanks for sharing
#readbypreetispanorama
Thanks you found the post useful, keep watching this space for more ๐
I have seen most of them but I honestly found Mind The Malhotras a little overrated. But that’s my opinion. A lot of my friends and family loved it. Thanks for curating this list.
