    FAMILYMAN - Amazon prime
    'Family Man' Season 1 and 2: One of the most talked-about web series of 2019 and 2021, is the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer 'The Family Man'.

The first season has him dealing with terrorists trying to gas Delhi in a wave of mass destruction, while the second one sees him fight against Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who plays a Sri Lankan Tamil freedom fighter, out to take revenge for the atrocities faced by people. Both the seasons are edge-of-the-seat thrillers with drama and comedy sprinkled in it, in just the right amount. Sharib Hashmi plays the able sidekick, JK, and his chemistry with Bajpayee is crackling. The series is available on Amazon Prime Video. Image Credit: Supplied
