And the story has its own unofficial affiliation- based on the collective narratives of dozens of policemen, film people, gangsters interviewed by Chandra and his equally famous friend, S. It is no more surprising that Vikram Chandra spent almost a decade writing the book on which the show is based. The second season brings into the picture the larger story of modern India. It is a tricky thing- the narrative has been quite stretched already. Reportedly, it has even exhausted the material from the original book which means that for the third season to air, the screenwriters have to move beyond the book. It is much more reflective on human nature and relationships and even lends a perspective on the political narrative in India for the last 25 years. The second season employs more story arcs than the first one. For one thing, the second season is a little gentler on the gore, violence and crassness, although the audiences have by now not only adjusted to it but even appreciated the treatment. Watching the second season evoked mixed feelings as a viewer. But the story starts gaining solid ground by the fourth one, and things move much better than on.
Watching the entire set of eight episodes makes the experience a lot better because the starting episodes are quite sluggish in their pace as well as treatment. The reason being the fact that most of them are based only on the first three episodes- Netflix has only that much to offer for the sake of reviews. These reviews are a little short-sighted. The reviews to the Sacred Games Season 2 started appearing very soon, in a couple of hours from the show’s airing. The second season delivers on the promise by a good stretch- although the only drawback the narrative has is the spoofy demeanour and an overtly stretched story. The first season struck a chord with the Indian audiences and the cliff-hanger ending made the audiences wait quite eagerly for the next instalment. It had a lot more burden of expectations on its shoulders as compared to the previous season. Sacred Games Season 2 premiered on India’s 73 rd Independence Day.
