Take Shantaram slowly, episode by episode and scene by scene, so you can fully experience the brilliant message of the story. Of course, the messengers are brilliant as well. Hunnam has never been better. ... Bharat Nalluri, whose directing work on the show is electric, composing scenes of intense tension and extreme tenderness perfectly. The music, the cinematography, are all good — but the real star of the show is Bombay.

At twelve hour-long episodes (for its first season alone), it’s a lot to get through, and more than a little bloated as a result. But in adapting Gregory David Roberts’ acclaimed 2003 novel to the screen, showrunner Steve Lightfoot (“Hannibal,” “The Punisher”) has crafted a show that captures the spirit of its source material, albeit in a slightly stretched-out package. ... It’s easy to get lost in the sprawl of Bombay and its vibrant international cast of characters, and wonder just what roads his salvation may take him down in future seasons.

Apple's Shantaram barely scratches the surface in the 12 episodes of its densely plotted, occasionally overripe first season. ... Effortlessly charismatic Charlie Hunnam. ... Guide/sidekick Prabhu (charming Shubham Saraf), whose generous grin could melt anyone's heart. He's worthy of his own series. [24 Oct - 6 Nov 2022, p.6]

The first three episodes, released this Friday, are by no means bad TV. For the most part, the characters are complex, the story is interesting and, if you haven’t read the book, sometimes unexpected. But there are plenty more nuanced, modern takes on adventure stories based in India — the BBC’s A Suitable Boy is a good place to start.

It knows how to put together a gripping scene and the prison escape is suitably tense. But barely any of the characters feel authentic. They all seem to exist simply for Dale’s enrichment. It starts to seem ungenerous and demanding. In the end, it loses confidence with even its own voice.

I kept thinking this show was going to run off the rails at any time. But it didn't. It actually turned out to be a good story, with decent action, and a minimal of confusion. We'd rate it a "worth watching, as it's only four episodes."
