Here Are The Best Web Series of Year 2020

The web content scene in India only gets better with each passing year, and even 2020 couldn’t change that. Amidst dozens of shows, some managed to leave deep impressions on the audience. Let’s take a look at the best web shows that came out in 2020.

Paatal Lok

Try as you might, you cannot think of an Indian show which was more blunt, raw, and cruel than Paatal Lok. This Amazon Prime Original left everyone with their jaws open, thanks to its gut-wrenching violence and unfiltered cruelty. But this is what made Paatal Lok such an authentic thriller. The show takes you to the depths of the hell known as society and shows its naked face. We have all seen defeated protagonists in thrillers, but there was perhaps none so unique as Hathiram, played to perfection by the underrated Jaideep Ahlawat. Paatal Lok explores multiple storylines, each more messy and violent than the last, while simultaneously increasing the tension around you. Even when it gets all over, you are afraid to believe it. Such was the intensity of Paatal Lok, one of the best offerings of 2020.

Panchayat

After all the dark shows, this list needed a light, funny title. And who better for the job than the geniuses at TVF? Panchayat is a slice-of-life show that can be defined with only one word – authentic. As interesting and diverse the characters of Panchayat are, they never feel larger-than-life. Surely we have met someone like Pradhan (pati) Ji or Vikas somewhere in our lives. Panchayat carries progressive messages without being patronizing about it. At a time when comedy is defined in the narrow confines of cuss words and slapstick, Panchayat rises above and offers something absolutely fresh. Jeetendra Kumar does what he does best, aided by a superb cast that includes Raghubir Yadav, Nina Gupta, and Chandan Roy. There is no way Panchayat doesn’t leave you with a smile on your face.

Scam 1992

While all eyes were glued on Amazon Prime and Netflix, SonyLiv managed to sneak one of the most riveting web series of all time. While people expected something from a show directed by Hansal Mehta, Scam 1992 managed to surpass everyone’s expectation. Based on the life of stockbroker Harshad Mehta, the series covers his spectacular rise and inevitable fall. Pratik Gandhi is nothing short of a superstar, thanks to his spellbinding performance. He was complemented by a powerful supporting cast that included Shreya Dhanwanthary, Nikhil Dwivedi, Rajat Kapoor, and Satish Kaushik. And if all that wasn’t enough, it has perhaps the grooviest theme song of 2020. Scam 1992 was a truly magnificent show to watch, and we are all thankful to Mehta for this gift.

Bandish Bandits

An entire show about classical music? You would be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the idea, but Bandish Bandits turns that idea into delectable reality. The show is about a young classical singer who meets a pop diva and the obvious sparks that follow them. While the plot is often slow and predictable, the show excels in other departments. Newcomers Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Chaudhary are as natural as they are fresh. The new is ably assisted by the old, as the show carries spectacular performances by Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Sheeba Chaddha and Rajesh Tailang. But it is the music that truly makes Bandish Bandits are must-watch. The magic of Shankar-Ehsan-Loy is nothing short of divine.

Aarya

It would be fair to say that Indians have had a very poor track record of adapting foreign films and shows. Aarya was different. Adapting from the successful Dutch show Penoza, Aarya sparked interest right from its premise: a middle-aged woman has to grapple with the loss of her husband and handle a criminal empire. Taking a leaf out of American crime dramas, Aarya creates diverse characters and delves into multiple storylines. It invests you in the show, makes you care about the characters, and keeps you guessing what will happen next. Sushmita Sen’s return to acting is announced with a bang, and Aarya has been a treat.
