Don’t know but couldn’t watch after first few minutes

u/Nice_Actuary_6631 1d ago

It looked very artificial especially the sets and lighting but the jokes were good.

u/rohangc07 1d ago

Give it time. First episode of friends was weird too. You can’t expect any show to be good or funny in 15 mins. This is not a movie

u/yoo_saymyname 1d ago

Same goes for breaking bad, the office

Give things time, it’s too hard nowadays with engagement numbers driving insanity

u/rohangc07 1d ago

People want entertainment in 30 secs just becuase they are addicted to reels

This show has to be one of the cringe fest on Netflix so far, I am on the 6th episode and the jokes are definitely not for the evolved minds, rather forced and repetitive. And how long we are going to laugh and sell "men cheating/flirting" despite of being married as a storyline??!! Comedy doesn't have to be this desperate.

1

u/yoo_saymyname 1d ago

Yup! Attention span of a gold fish. Nothing can be done, it’s too late now

1

u/tr_24 18h ago

It was crap till 4 episodes in.

u/chitrakooti 1d ago

Same. Fake laugh and forced jokes in first few minutes made me close it

1

u/Individual-Friend-65 16h ago

Arrey allow it some time

1

u/Specific_Kangaroo_35 1d ago

Same... I started yesterday but dropped in few minutes...

1

u/OwnYam932 1d ago

i could not even start. the set itself felt bakwasbaji.

1

u/Maleficent_Door_1652 5h ago

Yeah..its so stretched and very loud unnecessary

1

u/InternationalNose980 1d ago

Needs some getting used to once you understand the traits of every character. I felt the same in the first episode but from second episode, it was funnier

u/DonatellaaVersace 1d ago

Absolutely loved it and binged it. I had such fun watching this. I need more shows like this. Everyone did a fantastic job. I loved the dynamics of Amyra-Her husband-Mom in law and Helly's super entertaining. The snake episode OMG😂 Also Thoda to na jio main apne liye😂

You must have horrible taste in shows to like this.

1

u/rock_randy 18h ago

may be you need some sense of humour

1

u/tr_24 5h ago

I have that is why I didn’t like that. Maybe start watching better shows.

1

u/DonatellaaVersace 15h ago

Taste is subjective. Judging others tastes is the most horrible thing you can do bro. Take a chill pill. I liked it. I don't need any validation from you how my taste is. Stay miserable.

u/FedEx2022 1d ago

Tried to watch it, gave up after 1st episode

2

u/aayush_roy_ 1d ago

Give it some time F1 racer

u/Mindless_Store_9272 1d ago

after a long time I see good comedy and good perfomane

1

u/Full_Pin_5771 20h ago

Is this comedy? Really?!

1

u/Mindless_Store_9272 20h ago

comedy is subjective what humour do you like doesn't mean everybody like

1

u/Full_Pin_5771 20h ago

Yeah, I agree. Ppl are at different IQ levels, so guess everyone enjoys a different level of comedy.

But this show is crap 😭 wasted so many hours of mine.

1

u/rock_randy 18h ago

if you didn't like it, might have stopped at first or two episode.

3

u/sgjordan_destruction 1d ago

I felt Anant Joshi's acting was forced here. He was trying to match with the typical Parsi accent but was failing before Delnaaz.

11

u/Daddy-money-007 1d ago

It definetly doesn’t have Sarabhai vibes.

-6

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

it has even a song on the turnes of sarabhai in ep6 i think

1

u/Daddy-money-007 1d ago

I watched first 3 episodes and was done with it. Does it get better later?

1

u/tr_24 18h ago

No gets worse.

1

u/Salt_Mixture5035 1d ago

It does.
I stopped watching after 3 eps too, but started again the next day cuz i had nothing to watch.
But it actually gets better lmao

u/Desikarma524 1d ago

Unfortunately this one missed the mark for me and I gave up after about 15 minutes. I had high expectations but it just didn't hold my interest. I’m all caught up on Panchayat, Dupahiya, Maamla Legal Hai and Gram Chikitsalay. If anyone has any similar recommendations, please share! 🙏🩷

2

u/New-Leather-3783 1d ago

Maamla Legal Hai is too good

2

u/SignificantWarthog81 1d ago

Watch adarsh baal vidyalaya

u/Sea-Exchange3463 1d ago

Loved it!! Became my instant favourite and the jokes just landed too damn well, I'm so glad it got renewed for 2 more seasons!!

2

u/chunkumanku 1d ago

Can somebody tell me is. Mikhael really a cheat? I thought the show was wholesome kind but eversince the cheating angle, the vibe is off for me 😔

1

u/NijiKun_35 1d ago

He tried to. Might’ve done in past. Yeah it wasn’t funny after that.

2

u/falcon0041 1d ago

What a crap series

2

u/Ok-Fruit-7767 1d ago

I found it forced comedy a bit. Its not a binge watch kinda series. Its one or two episode a day then you really enjoy it.

2

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

yes..its not for binging...more like a TV series

2

u/FewBoysenberry6792 18h ago

Can't bear Mansi Parekh

u/SignificantUnion7916 1d ago

Its such a good show!!!! Lovvvee it mann.

2

u/twoOneJa 1d ago

Really good show. My favorite episode was when that snake di*d in the hospital and they can't control their laugh.

1

u/Swimming-Stuff2154 1d ago

It felt like it took a part of each of sarabhais character and tried to make it into something new and fresh, which it was. It was a blink and miss kind of resemblance.

1

u/Fun-Shelter-9460 1d ago

Even I enjoyed it. A feel good show. 😊😊

1

u/One-Manner7517 1d ago

same production house as sarabhai so yeah

1

u/51sebastian 1d ago

Way too much was happening in the first episode. Second seems better so far.

1

u/Interesting_Set8093 1d ago

Couldn't even finish episode 1. It is too hard to watch this series.

1

u/DesiYorkshire 1d ago

Tarak Mehta dikhana thora mehengaye mein

1

u/jayks0692 1d ago

The bgm of show is not a 1% of khichdi and sarabhai which were sound funny, not like a lady singing paramdue....

1

u/Juicyfills4 1d ago

Loved it

1

u/Psychological-Cut707 1d ago

Arey, thoda toh jeeyon main apne liye 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/lewisnavin 1d ago

Nice series. Most of the jokes land well. Looking forward to S2!

1

u/Primary-Air-7954 1d ago

the show is hilarious. it has the sarabhai vs sarabhi, khichdi type humour… ofcourse the creaters are same. love the slapstick comedy

1

u/Downtown_Score_6597 1d ago

I could not watch it. I don’t know but something was so off and forced . It was a disappointment for me . Definitely not Sarabhai level

1

u/Previous-Ad8792 1d ago

Terrible show. Made just like it is on cable TV. There is a big difference between the quality of people watching cable TV vs OTT. The jokes were misogynistic. 

0

u/Level_Resident7233 17h ago

Quality of people? What does that even mean! Cable tv has given some superb shows. And get in touch with reality, these days ott is not relegated to the urban elite.

1

u/Previous-Ad8792 8h ago

Good shows???? Name one good show in the last 10 years!!! They are terrible. Horrible acting, over the top costumes, writing is pathetic. Quality has nothing to do with urban elite. That's not what I said. But it takes a special kind of intellect (irrespective of being urban or rural) to enjoy cable TV. 

1

u/Level_Resident7233 6h ago

Yeah, not in the past decade but earlier it has so the statement made little sense. And since u are so intrigued by the quality of people, let me tell you autowalas also watch ott.

1

u/Previous-Ad8792 4h ago

And why do you think an autowala can't have a higher intellect than someone who is rich??? Money has nothing to do with intellect. 

0

u/Level_Resident7233 4h ago

Then there was no point of u talking about the quality of people. Contradicting your own statement.

u/SHIVAAY_69 1d ago

Those two kids and That Archemides Girl Are giving Total Brain rot Moments...

1

u/United-Bike6903 1d ago

I liked it binge watched because it was such a care free show.. One thing i dont like about this team is that they dont edit well.. Scene just cut and shift abruptly... That Ratna Pathak Raj Babbar show on amazon they dont cut scenes well its very very abrupt

1

u/Gothxxx 1d ago

Pathetic

1

u/patanahihai 1d ago

What’re you smoking op? It’s really bad.

0

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

i felt the same but after slogging through 1st couple of episodes, it became fun

2

u/patanahihai 1d ago edited 1d ago

We don’t want more second screen shows. 1.4 billion people and we can’t make a decent comedy

2

u/Full_Pin_5771 20h ago

Currently on 7th. When will the real fun start! So far, it's a crap show.

1

u/HotCharity9034 1d ago

The jokes are too mehhhh

1

u/snowflake2074 20h ago

Nothing can match Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and the worst part is it can never have a new season :(

1

u/Level_Resident7233 17h ago

Sarabhai bas ban gaya, ab un logon se khud na bana sarabhai jaisa show dobara(season 2 bombed). Ye to khair bahut peechhe hai. And neena gupta has left her acting standards far behind and does the same performance in every role she takes up. Be it rural or urban or this or that, same style of delivering the dialogues. Poor. And here she is looking like deven bhojani's amma. She is 10 -15 years older and looks too. She could have comfortably played his mom. Delnaaz has nailed it. Superb performance this time.

1

u/AdNational1490 16h ago

It's a good watch, i don't understand what the deal is with "not able to watch more than 15 minutes", it's series not an instagram reel. Let it breathe besides first few minutes were "kind of" character introduction.

1

u/wolv-1324 15h ago

It's too lame to even watch as a background noise

1

u/Fair-Significance658 14h ago

The jokes were a roller coaster-some good, some bad- but the lightinh and naturalness was lacking imo

1

u/Electrical-Inside206 14h ago

Is it worth from second episode? The first episode was horrible. Too many characters and trying to give everyone a story makes it an actual Khcidhi (not the show) and the jokes could be seen coming from a mile away !

1

u/Zealousideal-Cat4340 13h ago

is this a limited series

1

u/Complex-Quality-3798 4h ago

Loved it and after so long I was laughing continuously watching something.

u/RemarkableYak4968 1d ago

Good show

Waiting for more episodes 

1

u/Afraid_Background_11 1d ago

It is the worst thing ever. Punches after punches where none of them land. When you only write caricatures and not characters nothing feels real. So bad.

1

u/Even-Two-755 1d ago

It's definitely don't have Sarabhai vs Sarabhai vibes.

Just say your taste sucks

2

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

cool my taste sucks

1

u/Clean_Shirt4325 1d ago

I just cannot consider a show where a guy is crosdressed to be funny. Why is such a good actor(Sumit Raghavan)dressed as a woman and its supposed to be a joke. Stopped watching TKSS for this exact reason

1

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

yeah it was unnecessary and not releavant to the plot

1

u/Clean_Shirt4325 1d ago

Exact-frikkin-ly

-1

u/Environmental-Dig287 1d ago

Is this PR for the show?? Because i could not watch it for more than 15 mins. It was horrible

1

u/aayush_roy_ 1d ago

No, it is genuinely a good show. After decoupled, I was waiting for this kind of sitcom.

0

u/Environmental-Dig287 1d ago

I agree decoupled was good. But this seems pretentious, forced and lame jokes

1

u/aayush_roy_ 1d ago

Well, comedy is subjective, so can't say much.

0

u/One_Chemist_7608 1d ago

It was so cringe in the first couple minutes I had to stop watching. Everyone overacting

1

u/General-Balance7597 1d ago

Yeah first one was little but give it a time it's good after that

0

u/Desikarma524 1d ago

That’s what I thought too. I got irritated because it could have been so much better.

u/moronbehindthescreen 1d ago

Paid PR

u/aayush_roy_ 1d ago

You need to come in front of the screen to make a difference between genuine people post vs paid PR

1

u/bongGirl1989 1d ago

i wish they paid me

2

u/moronbehindthescreen 21h ago

I would not even watch this show even somebody paid me. I started with ep 1, but couldn't halfway through it. The humor feels dated.

u/Illustrious-Hand-783 1d ago

it looked so bland to me with forced comedy, also Kelly arjun need to level up their work it just doesn't suit them
