Mumbai mob drama Sacred Games is Netflix's first Indian series

The Hollywood Reporter

Sacred Games successfully juggles being simultaneously compelling to its home country's audience and to foreign viewers. "Some international series might appeal to American viewers in ways that would be criticized in their home countries — familiar TV tropes become more tolerable when transposed to new places, and we're not as sensitive to stereotypes when they're not our own," says Tim Goodman. "But that's part of the viewing adventure, really, and it has cut some slack to series from Norway, Israel and other countries."
