Delhi crime

Powerful series.
About the 2012 violent rape of a girl on a bus.
Shook the world.

The good and bad about the series.

Reviews say this is a love letter to Delhi police.
I understand
The police are portrayed humanely working in difficult conditions insuffiencent funding pressures from political parties and press and public
They work without sleep tracking down elusive criminals

I found myself having new respect for the police. Thankless job indeed.

The flaws are glossed over and could have been better addressed.  Some whitewashing of facts. Like seeing the student protests as annoyances when i believe those protests were instrumental to making the gov and police take rape seriously.

There were reports of a man being robbed on a white bus 2 days before incident. Police did not act. Here they make it seem the man reported the incident only 2 days after the event.

Apparently buses are not allowed to have tinted windows. This was not addressed.

Nevertheless. The show did make me respect the police a little but more. Every thing has blacks and whites.this one showed more whites.

The only darker sides of the police shown were.. police sleeping on the job in other parts of India, some policemen being more concerned about food and exercise instead of the case.

Good thing was the female police officer dcp south. She was super powerful as the lead.
There is a sense too that too much rape happens. They say casually there are gang rape cases everyday. How is this any different.

There are insinuations that the victims brought it upon themselves because they were engaged in PDA on the bus. This might be a fabrication by the film.

She fought back hard. The girl named as deepika in the show. That is not commented on. We get it though. She bit them so they bit her. she pushed them off the boy.

Some unnecessary details like the boy having a girlfriend.  That is immaterial to the case which is about violent rape and murder.

The men were charged and sentenced to death 7 years ago and they still havent hung. What justice is this? 7 years and still alive. God knows what they are doing in jail.

They do not show the rape. Describe it in detail 3 times. Acting all superb.
