Okay, I didn't expect the second season to match the first, just as I don't expect any second season of any great show (or any sequel of any great film, for that matter) to repeat the magic of its predecessor. Delhi Crime, the first season, was one of the best shows I've seen, both in intention, writing, acting, and the overall quality. Above all, the show really did have magic; the combination of characters and story made it a one-of-a-kind experience. Does this season live up to the quality of the first? Probably not much, but in and of itself, it is nothing short of brilliant.
Indeed, the second season of Delhi Crime, which tackles a different story and addresses other important themes, such as the power structure in Indian society, denial of the rights of the underprivileged, is fantastic. The show boasts of the same, respectable production values - with phenomenal photography, great dialogue, and it moves at a steady pace. One of the big advantages of second seasons is the fact that you do not have to provide the background of the characters - the basics have already been provided and so everything in the story is straight to the point.
Shefali Shah, this phenomenal performing artiste, is a treasure to behold. She is absolutely marvelous in every frame. This season, in many ways, is a gift just because it provides audiences an extension of her portrayal in the previous season. She is fierce and imperious and strong in ways one could only admire. Rajesh Tailang, Rasika Dugal, Akash Dahiya, all of whom were excellent in the previous show, are just as great this time as well. The acting in general is phenomenal by one and all, and the new turn of the talented Tillotama Shome is excellent. Brilliant show, overall.
