Just watched Crackdown Web Series on Voot Select. So let’s analyze the cast, release date, story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this web series.

Story: Crackdown is web series about RAW agents and a group of covert operations wing who try to crack through multiple smaller decoys, to uncover a larger conspiracy that threatens national security.
RAW Chief Ashwani (Rajesh Tailang) has a group of covert operations wing (called DO) directly under him, which doesn’t have to follow the rules to get the job done. When a female terrorist dies during a covert operation, all hell breaks loose and what ensues is a series of surreptitious missions in order to do away with terrorism. They take the help of an Indian lookalike of a Pakistani terrorist Divya (Shriya Pilgaonkar) to help bring down this threat and how they eliminate the threat is all about in this series
Meanwhile, Zorawar (Iqbal Khan) is hell-bent on making sure the group is shut down. The reason behind his suspicion is agent RP, Riyaaz Pathan (Saqib Saleem). The highly-abled agent once returned from enemy camp alive and well, after being tortured for months and it has Zorawar convinced he is no more loyal to the country.

Negatives
1. Story lack novelty
2. Unnecessary characters and some unexplained plot
3. Screenplay is predictable
4. Slow pace
Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the first look and trailer of Crackdown I was extremely excited for this series and expectation was so high.
First episode is very good and it really increased my excitement but after episodes Several subplots and characters with half backed narration break my engagement and unable to attach myself. While the big twist does come as a surprise, it also undermines the character’s identity, which the show tried so hard to establish in the first few episodes.
If you love patriotic action movies/series then it’s twists will keep you engaged. One Time Watch !!
