Asur on Jio Cinema (free). I finished Season 1 and 2.
Drafted in June, forgot to publish. Ah well...
Story is decent. A blend of modern technology and ancient scripture (Vedas, etc.). By itself it wouldn't have been enough to keep you hooked. But good writing, slick direction, and a skilled star cast manage to hold your attention most of the time.
The series tries to draw you into a moral dilemma, akin to Thanos. It (at least partly) succeeds, and I think therein lies its success.
The growth of the characters due to what befalls them and the decisions they have to take have been shown quite
Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Anupriya Goenka, Riddhi Dogra, Sharib Hashmi all are good. So is Marathi manoos Ameya Wagh.
One nuisance is the ads that come on Jio Cinema (even if you have a paid subscription). But it is what it is.
Worth a watch. Not family friendly due to disturbing visuals (language / nudity is pretty controlled most of the time).
