” You know you are an adult when you are excited to go home .”

Anonymous

Welcome to another blog post from me. This time we explore a web series which I caught up recently. Believe me the best way to unwind is either to catch up with a book , watch a movie or a web series. And if you don’t like any of the above, you can go shopping or for a hike or just catch some sleep.

The web series which we are going to dissect today explores Adulting. Adulting is basically when we are supposed to act responsible in this big, bad world. We have to do a job which pays us. Then that payment goes to handling finances which may include expenses for rent, food , entertainment etc. In short we have to manage our lives without being dependent on our parents. I know it gives a boost to our self esteem as we are not dependent on our parents. Our parents too feel proud that their children made it themselves. But the question arises do we really manage our lives well? This question is explored in the web series through the lives of two girls named Ray and Nikhat.

Ray is a junior architect who after 3 years plans to go to Barcelona for her higher studies. While on the other hand Nikhat is a software engineer. Both are complete opposites yet the best of friends. Both try to live their lives to the fullest yet feel something is missing. They try to figure it out what is it by constantly undertaking new experiments with their lives. What are their experiments ? What do their experiments teach them? Does their relation get evolved for good or worse ? Watch the series to find out.

Well , now coming to the critical part. I found the web series boring . Well you might tend to disagree with me, but to each his/her own. The web series tries to explore the theme of adulting but it gets off the track . It felt more like a tale of two friends rather than exploring the problems adults face in their lives. Some parts are good but the writers could have put in more efforts by undertaking more research. The actors try to cover up the lack lustre script with their acting . But at times their acting too feels over the board. So overall it is a one time watch though one thing I must admit is that the theme song is catchy. Do tell me about your thoughts in the comments section. Waiting for the same.
