A most recommended watch!
I LOVED this series. It's honestly a great piece of work. I loved how nuanced the writing of the characters was; the show presented us characters that are flawed and pretty unconventional but they took care to contextualize those character traits (we know right from the start for example that Hira has never felt real interest or attraction for anything as he grew up, that he saw doctors because of that) and they actually tackled those issues in the last episodes. I was fully expecting them not to do it, as I have seen SO MANY shows romanticizing "problematic" behaviors without ever shedding light on their problematic aspect, so I was overjoyed when they did.
This show has a lot of depth, and a psychological dimension that I did not expect at all. Watching it is like peeling an onion: each episode uncovers a new layer of depth and give us a better understanding of the characters. It is very moving and beautiful.
The music, camera language, lighting are also expertly chosen and contribute both to creating atmospheres and to building further Hira’s characterization in subtle yet powerful ways (the two gun scenes from ep 3 left me mind-blown).
Finally the acting from both main leads is absolutely perfect - and the more you get to know the characters, the more you understand how on point their acting actually is.
