Interesting story line, caught me by surprise. Good acting and culturally well portrayed. Probably helps if you have Asian friends, family etc as you will find much to chuckle about although being from any particular ethnic background is irrelevant to the story telling. Three episodes in and really enjoying it. Highly recommended.

7 fake 10/10 reviews all in a matter of 24 hours! It's that great!

Scroll down. Doesn't take a genius to realize that someone behind this show spammed SEVEN 10/10 reviews on July 1st and 2nd, from accounts that have never reviewed another title... I guess that's all you need to know about the show. The dialogue is pretty cringe. The plot follows all of the basic tropes behind every drug and crime show. Sure it's against a different background (Brampton, Indian community) but even then it's hardly the refreshing take on the genre that you would expect. You can use the 80 min run time to watch something a bit more entertaining.
Very entertaining with an original hook

It was refreshing to see a Punjabi woman in this situation, she was badass and I am so excited to see where they take her storyline next season. They set her up with a lot of power taking over for Nanni. Also it was so nice to see representation from Brampton, a place that normally never gets a spotlight. Finally people making entertaining content for groups and areas that are normally over looked! Keep it up!
Great Idea... Horrible Execution

Coming from Brampton and the Punjabi community that resides there, this is a botched attempt to capture the real struggles and complexities faced by our community. It's at best an embarrassment.
Reading articles in which the creator compares it to "The Godfather" or "Sopranos" is a big stretch. This ain't Michael or Tony, lets just get that outta the way. And it begs the question, did the creator even watch those works of cinema? The main character gives the audience little reason to empathize for her situation like the aforementioned two anti-heroes.
Why should we care for a wanna be Instagram influencer whose dad got arrested for selling drugs? As a Punjabi girl who grew up in Brampton, the main character is far from relatable or likeable and literally promulgates the negative stereotype that all brown girls are vain and obsessed with their looks and have nothing else to offer (except what now... selling the same drugs that are tearing apart our community? ooo so edgy!). Maybe if she had some other redeeming qualities that were highlighted it would be more interesting. But no. She's not a flawed-hero from what we see, just flawed. Am I supposed to cheer because she can't make cha? or uses foul language in front of her Nani?
The plot twists seem flat and underwhelming. The music choices are just as flat and underwhelming. The acting by a few members of the supporting cast isn't bad but isn't great either. The story itself doesn't adequately tackle any issues in the south Asian community, not even the issue of truckers selling drugs, we hardly get any reasons for the father's motivation.
It's just an insult to the families that have actually been torn apart in our community by drug dealing and gangs, especially in Surrey. An all around irredeemable mess, you're not left with any excitement for a new season or more episodes. Which is probably the only good thing about it.

Really enjoyed this show, wish there was more than 3 episodes! Hopfully we can find out what happens next soon.
The story was interesting and kept me hooked, the cast was really good, especially the main girl! Here's hoping for another season.

I Felt Seen

I've never seen a brown woman be badass and break the rules and fight the Indian male dominated patriarchy. I love this show because the main character is someone I see myself in. Also it has great pacing and Hamza Haq from the Indian Detective is such a hunk!
Definitely recommend - original & truly unique

Says it all in the poster = GEM.
The performances were stellar (especially Balinder Johal) along with original storytelling. It was engaging throughout and never felt like a slow burn - can't wait for more episodes and further worldbuilding/storytelling from Supinder.

Great Concept

I really loved this show and I felt excited to see something like this come out. I've always wanted to see a better representation of Canada's diversity and I think this show tells a story we haven't heard before. Loved the acting and found the whole cast really endearing!!
Hell yeah
