Live Mint  

Indian streaming shows came into their own this year. Best Actress Sushmita Sen Aarya Sareen’s life unravels with the assassination of her husband — cops and extortionists come calling, her house is ransacked, the puppy is slaughtered. Best Ensemble Cast Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story Casting director Mukesh Chhabra was the true star of Scam 1992, cannily peopling the show with unfamiliar, interesting faces alongside experienced old hands in uncharacteristic roles. Shreya Dhanwanthary as journalist Sucheta Dalal, Rajat Kapoor as CBI investigator Madhavan, Mithilesh Chaturvedi as Ram Jethmalani, Raghav Raj Kakker as Dalal’s uncredited source… the actors bring Scam 1992 alive. Best Series Panchayat Most of the top shows can only be recommended with caveats: Paatal Lok is superb, Scam 1992 is stirring, High is the cleverest show of the year.
