Shantaram2022

Apple's Shantaram barely scratches the surface in the 12 episodes of its densely plotted, occasionally overripe first season. ... Effortlessly charismatic Charlie Hunnam. ... Guide/sidekick Prabhu (charming Shubham Saraf), whose generous grin could melt anyone's heart. He's worthy of his own series. [24 Oct - 6 Nov 2022, p.6]

Worst adaption of a book ever. Off course its impossible to fit in all the detaiös from the book. But the story does not follow the book at all. Characters are used entirely differrnt, to create a simple bland narrative that ispredictable and far from the sophisticated original storytelling. What a huge dissapointment. If you read the book, spare yourselg from getting your own made visual memory ruined.

Shantaram doesn’t really dig too deep into the issues facing India in the 1980s, or how an expat like Hunnam’s character fits in given those issues. It’s a slow-moving thriller that we hope picks up some momentum as the series goes along.
