Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I have watched the trailer of this series planned to watch in my free time because I have already watched the first season of this series and it was very good.
The second season of Illegal focuses on the rise of Niharika Singh independently after moving out from JJ’s firm. She has joined hands with Puneet and established a new firm. How does JJ create obstacles at every turn for Niharika? Where does her relationship with Akshay lead? Does the new firm of Niharika and Puneet survive the competition is the second season’s core plot.
Director has done a good job of keeping you engrossed with his narrative, that also goes a little back and forth at times. Each episode has enough twists and even when you feel you anticipated them; you like how they all play out. And given that the high and light lawyers’ membership and close association with politics, business and media, Chaudhary has appropriately shown how they all can work in tandem when needed. The quirky cases involving Criminal and Corporate law appear realistic and oft-heard in daily papers. And when it comes to the legal proceedings, more than the courtroom drama, attention is paid to research and investigation and being ahead of the opponent to solve cases. As a viewer, you relate to the cases, and root for the issues.
Overall It is an engaging watch and the end of each episode will have you look forward to what happens next. Of course, the ending of the second season builds enough curiosity to see what’s in store for the show’s third outing. My View on this web-series Recommended.
