#1
'Panchayat' (Amazon Prime Video)
Panchayat Season 2 picks up the story from where Season 1 ended. Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) tries for CAT after a failed attempt and still works as a Panchayat secretary in Phulera village.
The cast includes Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta, among others.
This comedy-drama with a layered social message is written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra.
#2
'Delhi Crime' (Netflix)
Delhi Crime Season 2 was one of the most awaited shows. Shefali Shah's "Madam Sir" came back to solve the case of Chaddi Baniyan gang and just like the first season, it's based on true events.
The daunting visuals, dilemma, and non-glorification of the police force (which is mostly the standard in Indian films) appealed to the viewers. Shah's DCP Chaturvedi was spot on.

The medical thriller directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh revolves around the medical scams which are orchestrated by pharmaceutical companies, private hospitals, and government officials, in the name of human trials for drugs.
