About

"Sweeping fugitive melodrama soaked in Bombay atmosphere"

Based on Gregory David Roberts' sprawling novel, this follows an escaped Australian convict who flees to 1980s Bombay and tries to disappear into the city's slums, black markets, and expat underworld. What starts as survival turns into entanglement with gangsters, spies, and a magnetic, secretive woman who complicates everything. The show trades in lush, chaotic atmosphere and pulpy melodrama, moving at a deliberate, novelistic pace rather than a thriller's. It's carried by its location work and mood more than tight plotting, best enjoyed as an immersive, slow-burn escape rather than an edge-of-seat crime saga.

Watch it for

the immersive, richly shot recreation of 1980s Bombay's underworld and expat fringes.

Maybe skip if

you want tight pacing over sprawling, novelistic detours and slow-burn romance.
