Serial Chiller: Zee5's Fingertip is a highly relatable, acutely watchable series about modern Tamil lives

Firstpost  

Serial Chiller is Ranjani Krishnakumar’s monthly column about all things Tamil television. When I heard that there is a Tamil web series about the “negative impacts of social media”, you’d understand that I was naturally sceptical. Add to it the generally overwhelming nostalgia that prevails among Zee5 web series makers — of Auto Shankar, Thiravam, Postman and the like — and I couldn’t accept Fingertip with anything but caution. The show uses the term ‘social media’ somewhat loosely though, throwing platforms like Tinder, WhatsApp etc into the mix. There is a scene in the first episode titled ‘Greed’, where Rekha, an aspiring social media celebrity checks into a hotel in a situation of extreme desperation.
