Kohrra is a police procedural series set in Punjab whose second season is now available now on Netflix which I highly recommend.

Some relatively spoiler free thoughts. I am skipping plot details etc because I don’t want to spoil anything plus there are many reviews already available on the internet.

• Indian directors/writers have really mastered this sort of police procedural – usually has two police partners and the story jumps between the case (new case per season) and the personal lives of the protagonists. Add in some social commentary as well in a gritty package. Others of this ilk are Pataal Lok (2 seasons, Amazon Prime) and Dahaad (1 season, Amazon Prime). Those are also highly recommended.
• Because this is a new season, it’s a completely new case. Also only one of the officers from the first season returns. Watching the first season is not necessary but ideal to get an idea of the personal life of the returning character.
• The plot this time is a lot more twisty with multiple threads leaving you guessing, compared to the first one where I guessed the plot a few episodes in.
• Also a lot more technically accomplished. The few action set pieces are really well done. The cinematography is great and the acting is great across the board (the first season had some iffy acting by some actors).
• Love the fact that like most Indian OTT shows, it is not monolingual (like movies) and is multilingual and characters speak in the language that they would actually speak. So predominantly Punjabi with a bit of Hindi.
