I fell in love with the book and have read it a number of times and I've been lucky enough to visit Mumbai and was looking forward to seeing it televised. This series captures the essence of the city perfectly but the story feels rushed. He seems to pick up marathi on day two for example. Plus it isn't particularly faithful to the book. There is an awful lot missing. The way he falls in love with the city in his first few days, in my opinion, are an essential part of the story. I'm a big fan of Charlie Hunnam but that accent, hopefully it will improve. It's neither Australian or Kiwi. The cast are pretty awesome though. Each one as I pictured them. Even Karla. The cinematography is perfect, as we have come to expect from an Apple production. The biggest disappointment however is that they have changed the name of one of the most important locations in the book. It's Leopolds not Ronaldos. I cannot imagine why they would do this.
