Chiraiya – slow, uneasy look at families shielding abusers

[Nisha]

I watched Chiraiya since it's been quietly passing around in my friend group, and I must say it's one of those Indian series that feels far more real than most "social‑issue" shows.

It shows how marital abuse in a traditional family is actually dealt with.

Yeah, Chiraiya doesn't give you an easy way out... it just sits there and shows how everyone knows what's happening yet still protects the system over the individual. That's what made it worse for me, because it didn't feel like drama; it felt like something you've probably seen or heard before.
