Asur (2020)

The verdict
Asur ranked near the top of that week's Hindi series crop. It holds a 7.8/10 on TMDB from 95 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. In India you can stream it on JioHotstar.
Is it worth starting?
This is 3 seasons deep — Hindi crime with a drama streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating is resting on 95 votes so far
- you want something that ends tonight — there are 3 seasons of it
- Why
- It rates 7.8/10 on 95 ratings so far — a strong early showing.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
Set in the backdrop of the mystical city of Varanasi, Asur follows Nikhil Nair, a forensic-expert-turned-teacher, who returns to his roots at the Central Bureau of Investigation, and along with his former mentor Dhananjay Rajpoot, finds himself caught in a cat-and-mouse game with a brutal serial killer. What follows is a blend of suspense, mythology and the murders of some people totally unrelated.
