Season 2 continues the story of India's 1947 partition, focusing on the massive refugee crisis, the aftermath of independence, and the events leading to Mahatma Gandhi's assassination
Season 1 was phenomenal, so when I saw there was a second season, I had to check it out. It is beautifully shot, and the entire cast and setting are truly world-class. If you, like me, are interested in Indian history, this is definitely worth watching.
The man behind the series, Nikkhil Advani, is also responsible for the equally wonderful historical series Rocket Boys. He has done true justice to the book Freedom at Midnight (1975) by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre.
I cannot recommend this show enough — it is deeply moving and incredibly thought-provoking.
