Special OPS created by Neeraj Pandey who has some reputation regarding espionage thrillers and over the time has created his own Niche and now has come with a web series with same genre.
Let's start with what's "GOOD". The veteran cast, Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh leading a team at RAW has done a fabulous job as he always does with his intense and composed acting style. As Father, As Husband, As Leading Agent he has nailed all the aspects of his character and undoubtedly leading the series from the front. Vinay Pathak and Divya Dutta yet again are impressive with their brief and supporting roles showing their versatility, proving again that why they are acclaimed actors.
Now the underwhelming aspects and gosh there are few, starting with visual experience, this web series is grand in scale showing multiple international locations possesses the cinematic experience rather the web-series experience which may be due to Pandey's inexperience with this particular medium.This inexperience may be the reason series looked stretchy which could've been concluded in 6 episodes.
The thriller and espionage genre has changed over the times as Antagonist's are now one step ahead to their counterparts giving tough time and sometimes outclassing the Protagonist at many occasions but here sadly none of it happened rather it was monotonous and lousy acting by Sajjad Delafrooz playing the main Antagonist "Hafiz Ali".
Sadly the field agents were also not so impressive especially Karan Tacker as Farooq Ali, who has to do all the heavy liftings, lacked the charm and charisma of a Field Agent and failed to impress in all the intense and thrilling scenes".
