Bigg Boss is the Big Brother franchise’s Indian version in which popular celebrities and personalities for more than 100 days are locked up in a house full of cameras. Bigg Boss is hosted by Salman Khan, a Bollywood celebrity who comes to the show every weekend.

4.Mirzapur 2
Mirzapur 2 is the second installation launched in 2018 in the popular Amazon Prime flagship series. The story revolves around the illegal drug and gun business of the local mafia, Thripathi’s. The series naturally consists of strong language, audacious violence, and scenes of sex. But the way each of his characters grows along with the story is what sets Mirzapur apart.
5.Paatal Lok
Paatal looks freely represent the real-life events of journalist Tarun Tejpal based on the crime thriller novel ‘The Story of My Assassins’. The story opens with an attempt by four criminals to kill a famous journalist and moves deep into the darker side of their personalities. The series attempts to emphasize the media’s messy politics and hypocrisy. The show won the Best Actor and Director Categories at the recently held OTT Filmfare Awards.
6.Sex Education
Sex education is a breeze of fresh air from the original Netflix. The series sheds light on the many kinds of relationships that exist but are also not addressed in the real world. One of the most delightful binge watches of all time was the charming characters and their equally pleasing bonds. The show educates its audience about sexuality in its funny but strangely wise manner.
7.Breathe into the shadows
The thriller crime drama streaming on Netflix is Breathe into the Shadows. The story of two men confronting unnecessarily complicated circumstances to rescue the person they love turns out to be relatively illogical. Nevertheless, the series brought Abhishek Bacchan to the world of online TV series.
8.Dark
Dark is the first original German series from Netflix and is one of the finest works. Not just another time travel thriller of dark forests, the series is so scientifically accurate that it can be made out of a brand new science syllabus. The series may become a little difficult to comprehend with the complex interconnection between characters but it is so entertaining that you are more likely to invest your brains over it.
9.Bandish Bandits
Bandish Bandits is a romantic, stereotypical story of two singers emerging from opposite backgrounds. What makes the original Amazon special is its spectacular music, composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Bandish Bandits has reincarnated the classical music genre of fusion and emerged as one of the best music albums of 2020.
10.Special Ops
Special Ops, Neeraj Pandey’s webspace debut project, was one of the most anticipated shows. The story inspires the real intelligent missions conducted by India. Kay Kay Menon stars in the series as a genuine RAW agent who finds a pattern in the series of terror attacks and embarks on a mission to unmask the mastermind behind it.
