I Watched The First Episode And Last Episode Of "Sacred Games" And Nothing In Between

Hello hello, I'm Rushali and I've ne'er watched an occurrence of Sacred Games! You see, I person this argumentation of defiance wherein if radical hype up a amusement excessively much, I vow not to ticker it retired of protest. Who does my protestation benefit? Absolutely nary one. But what's beingness without immoderate whimsical principles?

This is your look close now, I know:

Anyway, agelong communicative short, I decided to mildly backmost distant from said principles and ticker conscionable the archetypal and past occurrence of this wildly fashionable web bid and effort to marque consciousness of it. Here goes nothing!

🚨🚨WARNING: Major spoilers ahead, truthful proceed astatine your ain risk! Also, this station contains mentions of violence🚨🚨

Before we get started for real, fto maine uncover the grade of my knowledge:

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the atrocious feline / anti-hero. Saif Ali Khan is simply a constabulary serviceman who perchance did thing atrocious conscionable due to the fact that I've seen him purpose a weapon astatine someone. Kubbra Sait has a funky haircut, arsenic does Pankaj Tripathi. Oh and he's a clergyman of immoderate sort. 

Yeah, that's astir it, so...

EPISODE 1: Ashwathama — let's go!

Four seconds successful and I already cognize that this amusement is going to marque maine privation to unopen my eyes A LOT. It's truly graphic...I mean REALLY graphic:

So what I'm getting is that Nawazuddin is an insecure antheral who changeable astatine a miss — who is profusely bleeding — due to the fact that she mocked him??

Also, speedy question: Where are his pants???

Alright, I've gathered that he's immoderate tech-savvy dude with each this instrumentality that he's doing immoderate fancy crap with. And helium has his ain lair. So I conjecture what I'm trying to accidental is...Nawazuddin's quality (still don't cognize what his sanction is, btw) is similar Dr. Doofenshmirtz connected crack:

And, helium wants idiosyncratic named Sartaj who, I'm guessing, is Saif Ali Khan. Meanwhile, Sartaj is disconnected uncovering dormant bodies (as portion of his constabulary work, he's not weird oregon anything):

Oooh present comes the juice! Sartaj is besides summoned to tribunal for a hearing. What bash we deliberation helium did? I deliberation helium abused his constabulary powerfulness and changeable someone.

Also, I'm atrocious but tin we each conscionable hold that this is simply a ridiculous mode to transport a body??

Okay, they're astatine the proceeding and a constabulary serviceman is narrating the communicative of an brushwood and clearing their broadside of the case. It looks similar a lawsuit of constabulary brutality but they accidental it was self-defence. However, Sartaj looks UNWELL truthful I’m guessing helium changeable astatine the feline but besides did it without excessively overmuch provocation, truthful he’s feeling guilty?

Never mind, I was wrong! Some feline called Parulkar (Sartaj's boss, it seems) changeable the feline — who was lone 18 and WILLING TO SURRENDER!

Back to Nawazuddin. Remember however helium said helium wanted Sartaj? Well, helium gets him. On a telephone call, made from his lair, wherever helium says that helium knew Sartaj's father. And helium past proceeds to archer him his full beingness communicative close from the precise beginning.

Turns out, Nawazuddin aka Ganesh Gaitonde (yay! we yet larn his name) is this big-time transgression who has been connected the escaped for 17 years. He besides has a flimsy obsession with being considered God:

I mean it makes consciousness that he's a shady feline due to the fact that what sane idiosyncratic shoots a miss successful his lair? However, I'm besides half-wondering wherefore he's speaking to Sartaj and saying that helium trusted his dad?

ANYWAY, Gaitonde gives an highly agelong relationship of his past, and we spot his travel from his puerility to becoming a cause lord / murderer / brainsick person?

Meanwhile, Sartaj finds the lair, oregon rather, Gaitonde leads him to it, and past they BREAK DOWN A WALL to participate it:

There we find Gaitonde sitting connected his throne, pointing the weapon successful his manus towards Sartaj:

Now, you whitethorn deliberation that he's astir to sprout Sartaj, but you would beryllium WRONG. Because helium goes up and SHOOTS HIMSELF! *GASPS*

BUT THEN, his eyes unfastened each of a abrupt and helium recalls the portion earlier successful the occurrence wherever helium refers to himself arsenic "Ashwathama" (aka 1 who ne'er dies):

HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE BLOWING THEIR BRAINS OUT WITH A GUN????? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!...

...how is this Sartaj's reaction?? Why is it truthful subdued? Where is his GAPING OPEN MOUTH? How is his jaw not connected the level aft seeing each this??

And that's the extremity of Episode 1. Parting thoughts for the archetypal episode: Wtf did I conscionable watch? This amusement is not for the faint-hearted. However, contiguous I person learnt that I americium faint-hearted. And I person ne'er successful my beingness been truthful confused.

Here are the questions I'm hoping the last occurrence answers:

1. DID GAITONDE ACTUALLY NOT DIE?

2. HOW DID HE KNOW SARTAJ'S DAD?

3. WHAT HAPPENS TO SARTAJ'S COURT CASE WITH THE 18-YEAR-OLD?

Now let's speech astir the past occurrence of the 2nd season, Radcliffe:

So, astatine the precise opening of this episode, we spot that Shahid Khan (aka Ranvir Shorey) has entered the chat:

Okay, truthful for context, there's a atomic detonation menace looming implicit the metropolis of Mumbai astatine this point. And the Home Minister thinks the Chief Minister and Parulkar are liable for not stopping it successful time.

Meanwhile, it appears that Sartaj is present a portion of immoderate benignant of a cult, wherever the formal codification is strictly white:

There's a whitewashing gag present somewhere, but I won't marque it lone due to the fact that I don't person each the facts, yet.

Hey there's Kalki Koechlin! With a representation of Pankaj Tripathi down her...so I conjecture they're a portion of his cult?

Also, Gaitonde’s person — who Gaitonde talks astir portion narrating his beingness communicative — is back. And he's doing this...whatever this is:

Anyway, the constituent is that he's talking astir Gaitonde successful the contiguous tense! SO IS GAITONDE ALIVE??

And okay, I conjecture the astir evident mentation to this is that this is each happening arsenic portion of a flashback and not needfully successful existent time...but I saw him stroke his brains retired earlier truthful you'll person to excuse my astonishment!

Anyway, this feline is trying to termination Gaitonde, but has been unsuccessful respective times:

But earlier helium was made to permission satellite world (by being deed by an robust rod implicit and over), helium made definite to poke Gaitonde's anemic ego:

Also, portion I deliberation we missed Guruji's (aka Pankaj Tripathi) appearance, we bash perceive him. He's seemingly successful Gaitonde's head, talking to him whenever helium wants.

Now we determination to Parulkar, who is wrought with guilt / fearfulness / anger(?) and helium decides to spell to the CM's location and sprout him, soon aft which helium shoots himself successful the head...

Meanwhile Shahid Khan is mounting up store successful an under-construction gathering successful Powai:

And yes, helium is, successful fact, password protecting AND ACTIVATING a BOMB!

Also there's this weird series with Sartaj successful this alternate world benignant concern successful which the blast has already happened and his woman is backmost successful the location with him:

Also, this is conscionable however Shahid Khan is sitting aft shooting the constabulary serviceman who drove him to wherever helium is close now:

In different news, Sartaj manages to interruption retired of the cult!!!

Now, here's erstwhile things get sticky. The timelines are truthful messed up here, and I'm guessing it would beryllium little confusing if I watched the full amusement BUT, OH WELL!

This is the miss (her name's Jojo, btw) that Gaitonde killed successful the precise archetypal scene, live and kicking:

But seriously, I inactive cannot recognize what immoderate of this has to bash with the weaponry situation? These consciousness similar 2 precise antithetic problems...and nobody's talking astir it.

Speaking of the weaponry situation, Shahid Khan gets busted by the cops and the weaponry squad is trying to diffuse the weaponry helium planted successful 5 attempts with lone 11 minutes and 43 seconds to ace the code.

BUT IT IS PASSWORD PROTECTED. So, they effort to marque him uncover his super-secret-bomb-deactivation password. But helium refuses...so Sartaj shoots him!

Now, erstwhile they can't ace the code, Sartaj's squad thinks that it is champion to evacuate the premises, truthful they bash conscionable that. But Sartaj wants to enactment and effort to diffuse the weaponry with lone 2 attempts left. BAD MOVE!

So helium sits down with this notebook and tries his luck...

In his past attempt, he's confused whether helium should usage the password that is written connected the leafage with his ain father's sanction oregon the 1 with Gaitonde's name. We past perceive Gaitonde's dependable saying it's not arsenic elemental arsenic that.

I cannot explicate however confusing it has been to fig retired WTF is happening, timeline-wise. Every clip I deliberation I person it down, I don't. Maybe I'm anserine but I'm trying truthful hard here!

We instantly spell backmost to flashbacks from the archetypal occurrence of Gaitonde and Sartaj's speech astatine the lair. BUT HOW DID GAITONDE WRITE / SAY ALL THIS WHEN HE DIED RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING???

I honestly don't adjacent deliberation I'm explaining my disorder correctly.

Anyway, Sartaj decides to usage the password written against his father's leafage successful the notebook and conscionable arsenic helium does that...THE SHOW ENDS!!!

Well, we're done! That was 1 confusing AF thrust and my encephalon hurts. If you inquire maine what I understood, I wouldn't beryllium capable to archer you. Is that my ain fault? Maybe.

For what it's worth, I deliberation helium got the codification right, for 2 reasons:

1. Because Gaitonde called Sartaj to hole the mess, truthful possibly his begetter was the key! And...

2. There was expected to beryllium a 3rd play before the amusement was cancelled truthful if determination was thing left, determination wouldn't beryllium talks of the 3rd play to statesman with. But I MAY BE WRONG. God knows, I person been before.

The ending felt perfectly unsatisfying and unnerving and honestly, if I'd watched the full amusement and it ended similar that, I would beryllium pissed. What did you think?
