... View MoreWhat a great show/series!! Spell binding and time flies. The story lines are wonderful and cannot say enough about the actors. Thanks for such wonderful time.
... View MoreI binged watched all three seasons on Hulu in one day. I am a fan of Ayesha Dharker which is why I started the series, but now I am also a fan of Sanjeev Bhaskar, who plays the doctor. They both have the ability to communicate with their eyes and with facial expressions. They are amazing actors.The plot started out about adapting to a new culture and got better from there. I don't know why the popularity of the series went down because the story became more engaging with each episode. Perhaps the lack of violence, sex and profanity did it in. I wish we had more seasons of this series and others like it.
... View MoreThe Indian Doctor consists of three seasons all of which are five episodes long. To be honest I really liked every single one of them. The best part I find is that nobody tries to camouflage or disguise their accents here - many of the cast being Welsh just helps to authenticate everything further. At first some may feel this takes a little getting used to but allow for this and prepare to be rewarded for doing so. There are a few wooden performances to watch out for but as the seasons progress these characters disappear into life's rich pattern. Watch out for Sanjeev Bhaskar whose totally transformed from comedy roles such as The Kumars At Number 42 in the most wonderful way within his role as the Doctor. Also watch out for effective performances by Mark Williams and Will Houston as villains - bad guys. Also the coal mine is in Blaenafon and is now a museum whilst locations-wise Blaenafon town and Llantrisant appear to be used. Would I recommend to a friend? Without Hesitating.
... View MoreDark Comedy, Melancholic drama, the acting is brilliant, the backdrop is as apt as apt can be. It has a very LOTR-shire like characteristics. It takes you to a different world, yet its a real world. The cast is small but intricately woven so you know the characters in and out. There always a background story line "noise" - which stays with you all the time yet does not let you get preoccupied with the outcome. Its probably the most "human" show i have seen in a long time. Sanjeev Bhaskar has managed to shed his image as a slapstick comedian in this venture. I am sure most people will be pleasantly surprised, and those who are not, give it some time. You'll get involved before you know it. Hope BBC recommissions it.
