With its atmosphere inspired by European thrillers such as Black Spot and The Forest, Aranyak does well to match and even exceed them, at times.
The two leads are great, have good chemistry, and the rest of the cast do a fairly decent job.
The sub plots are rich in intrigue of politics, drugs and even the environment, with a serial killer and a forest spirit thrown in to complete the mix! The series makers have taken some potshots at Himachal politics, those who know, will realize what I'm talking about when they're done with the series!
The suspense is nice and will last to nearly the end, but if you're observant, you might pick it up earlier, I didn't but I was bingewatching it, and missed some very obvious hints.
All in all, a very commendable effort. Not in the league of Paatal Lok or Family Man, but one of the best series to have come out in the past year!
