Thank you!
Ok on this topic of web series, I read a few more related articles & found out about
a few popular shows.
Just tried watching a couple & it left a bad taste as regards the foul language...
To me it seems they are trying to attract a difft. kind of audience & imitating shows from the west
but with an Indian touch. The more profanity, the more attractive to a certain audience seems
To be the formulla for these shows,
Anyway, I could still find one show " Permanent Roommates" which seems pretty decent
& quite funny...
Ami, .Mag & Dazz, you should all give it a try...it's only a 5 episode series.
The sort of dry humor in it reminds me of the show "Park & Rec", if you guys have ever watched it.

I haven't kept up with primetime shows in a really long time, Mish! The only show I've kept up with is the Big Bang Theory. 😳 You could be right about them aiming towards a different audience with a strong influence from the West, but I don't recall any of the shows here using foul language. 😆 I've seen some of the scenes Priyanka's done in Quantico that she's faced some flak for in the past. 🤔The way those scenes have been shot aren't as graphic and coarse as what I've seen in some of these Indian web serials. 😕 They've actually outdone themselves in their attempt to replicate the West. 😆 I came across Permanent Roommates in my search. Thank you, Mish! I'll be sure to look it up. 😃

Hi All,
I have seen all of TVF web series. I thought i will share you ppl about it.
I agree with most of the web series are kind of vulgar(don't have any other word to describe it)
But TVF atleast in some of the series they don't have any such vulgarity.
Till now they have done 4 series
Permanent Roommates, Pitchers, Triplings and Humorously yours.
Out of these i loved Pitchers. It's about 4 people trying to start a new software company and what they go through.Its a humorous take and does not have any cosy scenes at all ( I am software engineer may be that's why i loved this 😊
Second is Triplings which is about three siblings going for a long drive and the relationship between them
Not sure if you

PS. This is my longest post here 😊 Hope its useful 😛

Thanks for sharing, Avani! 😃 I came across Pitchers in my search along with Permanent Roommates. Now that I've gotten your feedback along with Mag's, I'm intrigued to give both series a shot. 😳 Triplings also sounds interesting in terms of its plot. 👍🏼 I'm so happy to see you participating on the forum! 🤗

Avani, you were right! I watched a couple of episodes of Pitchers that were great minus the language! 👍🏼 Very different from what we get to see on television. 😊

Season 2 of Permanent Roommates is even funnier, Mish! 😆 The episodes are also much longer than the first season. 👍🏼
