Dec 19, 2022Excellent adaptation of Gregory David Robert's extraordinary novel 'Shantaram'.. They finally had the right timing and combination of well-casted actors to portray these intriguing characters! Well worth the watch. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oct 26, 2022I 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."

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]

Shantaram doesn’t really dig too deep into the issues facing India in the 1980s, or how an expat like Hunnam’s character fits in given those issues. It’s a slow-moving thriller that we hope picks up some momentum as the series goes along.

Even when one is wishing that “Shantaram” would turn up the narrative heat a bit, it’s an engaging drama. There’s not a single weak performance and several very good ones (Hunnam, Siddig, and Desplat being stand-outs).
