Review of Shantaram

Shantaram (2022)
9/10
My favourite novel and a lovely series
18 December 2022
APPLE TV is silly for cancelling the show!! Can Netflix or HBO pick this up please??! So disappointing!! The show takes a different turn yet manages to do an impressive job. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews - a true Shantaram novel fan would appreciate the attempt nonetheless as it is too mammoth a task to adapt 980 pages long novel in to an entertaining show. I thought Charlie's Aussie accent sucked at the beginning but it felt more real towards the later part of the show. Also, I was hoping for Lin's transition to Shantaram to happen in this season but the way the show ended, it can still do a lovely job in the coming seasons. I hope and pray that streaming service human reads the book, falls in love with it, watches the show and then decides to continue where it left off in season 1. I liked the rest of the cast and wonderful effort by everyone involved considering they had to shoot during a pandemic. Please cut them a bit of slack and honour the cast and crew by renewing it for another season! PLEASE!
