Abhishek acted well, seems a lobby working to defame AB Jr giving negative reviews all over. Amit Sadh role should had been increased, a chase and action scene between AB and AS would had changed the level of series

I loved it. Couldn't find major loopholes. Performance was top notch.

Well it is a crime thriller and there are some very minor loop holes and the climax is a little melodramatic, but it works. AB's performance made it work. Amit is too good. Buffed up physically and the performance is also at the next level from S1. But apart from that it is brilliant. It's at the level of series like the true detective just with more thrills.

And unlike many Indian series and movies there is enough attention to details and no, it doesn't treat the audience as being stupid. It doesn't explain everything in a platter. And absolutely no loopholes as such.

Now if you want to find loopholes you can find many in Money hiest and even God Father and The Dark Knight. But we are not there to scrutinize every scene, if the movie takes us to another experience and makes us stay there, it has done it's job. And this series does it's job brilliantly.

AB and AS shine throughout, but all the ladies and the police make their mark too. No character or cast is wasted.

And there are connections to season 1 too.

I would place Into the shadows among the top 3 series coming out of India. And even ok an international level it finds it place.

Abhishek's best acting of his carrier. Amit sadh superb as usual. And supporting actors (both policemen) they were superb

Excellent web series all the episodes are 5 stars, Highly recommended to all the viewers. Thanks all the celebrities for your work hard for making this brilliant web series.

Amazing storyline and thrilling twists. The background score and overall production quality meets the international standards. Abhishek truly delivers. If you love watching crime thriller genre then this series is definitely for you. Don't want to say much about the storyline or anything else, just get comfy in your couch and let this season take you on a thrill ride.

The season ends in a cliffhanger but will definitely return for season 3.

Jr AB's back with a bang.... loved him after a long time after guru

A must watch thrilling series....

Superbly directed, written and screenplay by the team. Kudouss..!!!!!!

Not even a single minute you will feel out of context or not relevant to even 1%. This was not their in S01 of the series. It was quite lengthy... But this season 2 was a marvelous combination of story telling, suspense and writing.

Coming to Acting - Abhishek Bachan, Naveen Kasturi and Amit Sadh have killed it. Supporting characters like Abha, police inspectors etc. Have played thier roles beautifully...

I had thought to complete in 3-4 days. Watched in 1 day!!!!

One line - Sure to watch ONE time!!!!!

(Season 01 to watch compulsory)

Just binged the whole show through the night , amazing performance from the entire cast specially Abhishek and from Amit and Nitya....and an amazing cast and story ...keeps you hooked throughout the series...Please give it a watch ,don't go for the "critics review" coz it's not worth anymore.its better if you can judge it than them.

I have to start with the fact that Abhishek Bachchan,Nitya Menen have done a wonderful job in acting.Amit has other artists have done a good job too but they have sidelined Amit Sadd and he's not really in the spotlight compared to season 1.The series could have been finished with just 10 episodes.I felt they have wasted sometime with too many one on one conversations and slow moving and what I did not like is the screen play.There is too much back and forth from past to present and the usual loopholes which can be excused.Overall an interesting series and it definitely bores you a bit.The first and the last episide are the best ones of the season.Watch it for Abhishesk's great attempt!

Clearly best of the year and definitely among best Indian shows on any digital platform... Every actor nailed their role.. Jrb, amit sadh, menon everyone was outstanding... Story is winner as well...i just binged watched this one whole night

It's surprise why people are going gaga over this web series and acting of Abhishek. Totally undigestable plot and non existing medical disorders are the main thing. Reason for murders are non convincing. Ordinary average of Abhishek.

The concept of this series is not original, plots picked up from various other series,, seems inspired from Asur on Voot..Good performance by Abhishek, but I might test Ab+ after watching too much of him....i liked the series till episode 5, and started searching for logic post that , which was not to be found...If you are looking for entertainment...you may kike this but if you are like me, i.e. what you watch should make sense...than it's not recommend for you

What worked:

• clever screenplay; we cannot deny that the role of the lead character especially Abhishek Bachhan is very wisely and cleverly portrayed despite some flaws of course. The series although long, keeps you engaged, stays in narrative and gradually explores its narrative aspect. As a mental health professional, I appreciate the writer's work on dealing with the disorder, and the writing in general is quiet well done. I also liked that the writers tried to answer minute nuances and details, also agreeing that some weren't done wisely.
• lead performances; Amit Sadh is a hidden gem, he is captivating and brilliant as usual. Abhishek deserves an applause for his performance. These roles should be a strong reference for their resume I believe.

What did not work:

• screenplay; the screenplay is dull, mundane at times, unreal and has plot holes. So many questions remain unanswered and unrevealed. The basic premise of the series is not handled properly. I don't want to give away the spoilers. We would have wanted a more detailed reasoning and revealing regarding the main characters action, motive and how the actions were presented in the camera. I would say the writing is edited but the main agenda of the series is not well baked, resulting in a dish half baked. Some of us will come out of the series with questions and with complains how this show could have been better.
• runtime; we can definitely question the run time. There were chances of cutting the scenes to crisp the narrative. Unlike other series, this one however keeps you engaged.

Final verdict: recommended, watch it casually

Amazing, Abhishek done awesome job and amit sadh also rocking

Great series.....Great performances.Overall an amazing roller coaster ride.Jr. B is back with a bang and Nithya Menen deserves an applause.Amit Sadh again proved his acting ability.THIS CAN'T BE MISSED!!!!!

Abhishek Bachchan's best performance till now, of his entire career. Amit Sadh was superb too. The story is an epic one compare to other crime thrillers. The background musics and making is magnificent. The 2nd best webseries of the year after "The Family man". Thank you amazon Prime. Everything was so perfect.

Though Breathe: Into the Shadows is marketed as the season 2 of of the Breathe (2018), except for a handful running cast and a very few similarities, there is absolutely no resemblance to the former other than the prefix. Again though both the series are filled with logical loopholes and fantasy, the latter is slightly gripping and a little more logical than the former.

Breathe: Into the Shadows could have been a much better product given that its storyline line is filled with suspense and lots of scenes adding weight to the screenplay but sadly the director and the editor combine to spoil the show with lots of unwanted and unnecessary scenes, stretching the series to 12 episodes. Had the series been down to 9-10 episodes, Breathe: Into the Shadows would have been a much better series.

Cinematography is average and has nothing exceptional to offer. Music, makeup and costumes though decent overall, is grossly overdone in many places. Production design is garish if one has a keen eye. Abishek Bachan is a the strongest point in this series, his presence and performance definitely adds a certain kind of spark to Breathe: Into the Shadows, ably supported by Amit Sadh. Nithya Menon is a mixed bag throughout the series, oscillating tremendously.

Overall, I would consider Breathe: Into the Shadows as a missed opportunity, it could have been a show with tremendous entertaining value but sadly let down by the director's vision in terms of its runtime. But still it's a very decent show to watch and will give you all the suspense and trills in one is willing to show some amount of patience and ignore some logical loopholes. Will work best if one watches 3 shows at a time and not binge more than that.

No i am bot agree that Guru was Abhishek's best, breath is his best with his surprising performance. I enjoyed each episode of it. Best watch after Sacred Games. The story was pretty much influenced with Se7en and a scene i noticed copied from Money Heist.

Poor acting by Abhishek Bachchan and you can easily guess the suspense ....

Superb acting by Abhishek Bachchan and supported equally by Nithya Menen. Amith as Kabir is OK..but the supporting actors (Kabir's assistants) have acted really well. This series belongs to AB.

I have seen many thrillers. At some point of time near climax or during the movie, some characters usually become irritating BUT NOT IN THIS. This show is something else. None of characters become irritable. That's the main selling point of this show.... WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES by everyone. I don't know why people are giving less reviews.

Especially female actors because of melodrama become irritating but Nithya Menen has done a great job!!! And Abhishek, Amit Saadh and even the non main characters. Everyone did a great job.

Climax was at correct moment. They have not stretched the story. Great mystery!!

1. The story is impressive, 2. AB acting is awesome! 3. All supporting actors did their job remarkably.
