Mumbai Diaries 26/11—the new Amazon ensemble series led by Konkona Sensharma and Mohit Raina—is flying under the radar for now, but as we discuss on our podcast, it probably won’t for long.
We talk about the show’s politics, which feel almost revolutionary in the context of what we’ve been made accustomed to seeing. We wonder how creator Nikkhil Advani can deliver both this and The Empire.
And while we shower plenty of praise, we also discuss its melodramatic flashbacks, its outrageous perception of news media, and its baffling decision to deviate massively from facts in the third act.
