The focus of this series is in solving murder mysteries. Today's answer was fairly clever (though I did solve it before our hero did). The pacing was good and the mystery (just like the previous ones') engaging with the right amount of humor.

While watching the show it occurred to me that this story could have happened any time - but the CVs at the very start gave it a contemporary feel by dropping the line about a selfie with the corpse!

The characters and the superb acting keep me watching this show. Mrinal (Raffe) and Vrajesh (Inspector Tiwari) are outstanding - they are the absolute right choice for the roles. No one, I repeat no one will be able to replace them!!

Inspector Tiwari has a lot of pressure from his superiors to quickly solve the cases assigned to him. I like that he's not a complete buffoon, he's just a simple man with simple tastes who follows regular policing procedures. Tiwari is also an extremely kind and good-hearted man. He probably finds it hard to think like a murderer. He is also aware of Raffe's ability to see beyond that which is obvious at a murder scene. And so, he calls him to the murder scene and appoints him crime scene photographer. He is not ashamed to let Raffe watch via remote camera the interviews he conducts with the suspects and documents related to the case.

Raffe is a puzzlesolver and someone who knows how to look for clues and interview witnesses. He is also very good at helping the inspector make the connections that he sees, without giving it to him (which would never do). In fact, he goes one step further and assures the Inspector that he is learning to make deductions from him!! But the process is not one-sided. Raffe needs the Inspector's help in solving the case that his investigative firm R2 has procured.


All in all, this is a great show to watch. If you are looking for a complex police procedural or the darker side of human nature, then look elsewhere. This mystery series is fun and entertaining!!!

PS: Raffe has anointed Vijay as his unofficial "guru". He seeks his help when stumped with the case. I have not given away the plot because I think it is a must watch!!

I really have nothing to add on what you've said.

But I do want to say that these cases are a learning ground for Raffe at the same time. He made a mention to his classes today and in the previous cases he did pick up some new things as well.

While Tiwari makes me laugh I also respect him because he's got a street-smart intelligence that Raffe lacks still. And he's also gotten an emotional side to him as was evident today when Raffe saw dead kids for the first time. Even though he tried to make a joke of it, he put a hand on Raffe's shoulder to comfort him.

I'm not always looking for complexities. I'm just looking for nice police shows that show the humane side as well as the investigative side and this really touches on both so well.

Lovely Analysis. 😃
I wanted to write something too but then saw your post and aborted the idea. You have mostly said what i wanted to . ⭐️

The moment they showed us Raghav playing the game i knew that it was a suicide, but i thought too much that arjun emulated the game in real. 😆

This is the reason i am loving this show. They proved me wrong. 😆 I watched a lot of crime shows and now more or less i predict what is going to happen . If they prove me wrong i start watching that show religiously.

Loved the episode.
But so far my favourite has been the first one. Anyway...looking forward to the next episode.

I am loving the mystery behind the "Car explosion" nightmare and Raffe's mom's and Vijay's relationship. Sometimes I feel that Vijay is Raffee's father.

Same here...Now-a-days I watch mysteries, only if I am unable to predict the criminal for long time. Too many shows and movies have made me a detective myself...😆
