Flesh review

Plot of Flesh

As the name suggests the web series is as direct and to the point and shows the ugly picture of human and sex trafficking business. The plot of this eight-episode series moves between Mumbai and Kolkata. A 16-year-old girl is abducted by a smooth-talking man that she met over social media. As her parents file a complaint of her going missing, the case lands on the tough and often rule-breaking police officer Radha played by Swara Bhasker. The show follows Swara Bhasker’s character on her quest to get a hold of this whole gang of human traffickers. The plot also follows different perspectives like a brother and sister being trafficked, a cop on her quest among others.

What works

Flesh cast features several talented actors like Swara Bhasker, Mahima Makwana, Akshay Oberoi, Vidya Malvade, Kavin Dave, Sayandeep Sengupta, Geeta Agarwal, and Yudhishtir Urs in pivotal roles. Every actor on the show has done justice to their character with their brilliant performance.

Swara Bhasker shines brightly in the whole cast with her sheer brilliance in acting. Her action sequences and dialogue delivery is also worth applauding. Direction by Danish Aslam is also to the point and he sets the tone of this thriller series. The direction is such that it engulfs a viewer into the narrative.

What doesn’t

The web series is not for the faint-hearted. The series consists of several violent scenes which some viewers may find disturbing. Some of the viewers might also think that the issue of human trafficking is handled in a bit sensationalised way. The writing of the show is brilliant but leaves viewers wondering that it should have been more structured.
