Sacred Games

What a cliff hanger! There really needs to be a S03 or they need to start givnig a conclusion to these seasons if they are not sure it will continue!

Besides the interesting story and talented cast, I also appreciated the historical reminders from Season 1. I do try to learn the history so that I can better understand cultures, but with this damaged memory, learning anything new is a real challenge. It was nice to see that just the reminders from the first season were enough to at least help me remember historical events. Since Partition, it seems to me that India has come a long way, especially with terrorists/extremists trying to disrupt lives, business, and government. Worse yet, so many of the terrorists/extremists claim their actions are on behave of their faith/belief system. Those who don't know better might believe those claims, but they are usually false. The accepted tenets of most faiths, do not support the actions of any terrorists/extremists, yet their false claims are often enough to get one faith/belief system wanting to do harm to another - meaning that even these people don't know enough about their faith or another's; they are just using the association as an excuse. Too bad they can't see that their time would be better spent actually studying the belief system they claim to follow. Heavy sigh, but such nonsense has gone on almost from the beginning . . .

That is a minor issue especially if you are aware of how many light skinned Indian citizens there are and how many Caucasians live in India and those that are Indian citizens. There are plenty of people of all races who practice professionally in what they consider foreign countries everywhere to build their knowledge and reputations before returning to their own countries or in order to find a country they want to live in - doctors, lawyers, architects, teachers/professors, engineers, etc.

Personally, the bigger issue for me is the lack of family values in this Netflix production that portrays life in India. It is true that even Indian cinema is moving away from family values in an effort to copy Hollyweird and because there are some people who want to live as they believe people in America choose to live. I think it's really sad that people believe all Americans live, talk, behave like the people they see in our "entertainment industry." The majority of people across the U.S. do not use the same language that has become prevalent in Hollyweird. It's as though Hollyweird is like a rebellious teen who believes they are "grown up" just because they use "naughty" language. There's a place for such language to be used for affect, but it means nothing when it's used constantly and in place of a more concise vocabulary. I know there are people, especially young people who really want to live as they see people living in movies and TV shows. Most times, these young people grow up and become more aware of a larger world view and realize that the real world is enhanced by mature attitudes that encourage people to behave responsibly, try to avoid offending others with language that doesn't really enhance communication, they choose to dress in ways that are more practical than shocking and they choose to not blame others for their own shortcomings or decisions. Unfortunately, Hollyweird does not show any signs of maturing into a responsible adult; it seems just the opposite is true.
