Mirzapur, the web series manages to hold the interest but does not leave on a high. It's very gross at times but seems to gel with the story. The two gross moments of blood is when Guddu and Bablu do their first killing and Munna learns to use the shaving knife. The other killings are usually fast and go out of the frame quickly. It creates more blood than fear though the attempt was to create more fear.
The weakest point of the plot is to establish that compounder did an attempt to kill Akhandanand in connivance with Guddu and Bablu. The narrative and plot should have been stronger there especially as it is a turning point in the story. Munna goes there and finds the missed call in compounders mobile and that too after so many days when the mobile would have drained down. And now a days everyone keeps their mobile locked. Munna might be knowing about the unlock sequence but how Makbool can know it. I felt that it should have been a stronger narrative built to establish the relationship. Not sure if I missed but a casual discussion between Akhandanand and Guddu about compounder helping him in Mr Poorvanchal would have built the narrative. Also, it was at odds that there was no mention of touching the tablets by the compounder in some way so that it increases the violence level in Guddu. It comes out only if you are paying too much attention.
