The team takes on a series of cases, each revealing a different side of obsession.
Each story is more disturbing than the last, depicting the consequences of not accepting rejection.
With this one, the team hesitates, doubts itself and argues, just as we do, until the truth eventually comes to light.
The writers also refuse to offer simple reassurance; it is clear the team cannot rescue everyone.
The expectations of the family and the pressure from society keep women in harmful relationships for a lot longer than people outside the situation suppose, and the series recognises this.
The team takes on a series of cases, each revealing a different side of obsession. We meet a photographer and the actress he imagines is his partner, a supermarket worker and her boyfriend (plus his nasty father, a terrific turn from Jaffer Idukki), a woman trapped with an alcoholic sweetheart, and an IAS officer whose marriage to a powerful politician’s daughter is in trouble. Each story is more disturbing than the last, depicting the consequences of not accepting rejection. The most compelling case is that of the IAS couple. Dev Mohan takes on the role of Sajin, while Saniya Iyappan plays Shobitha, and over the course of two episodes, the writing deliberately keeps us guessing about who is treating whom unfairly. In all the other cases, the moral boundaries are clear. With this one, the team hesitates, doubts itself and argues, just as we do, until the truth eventually comes to light.
The writers also refuse to offer simple reassurance; it is clear the team cannot rescue everyone. One of the most honest moments in the series is the way it shows the team coming to the realisation that offering help is of no use to someone who does not think she deserves it. The expectations of the family and the pressure from society keep women in harmful relationships for a lot longer than people outside the situation suppose, and the series recognises this.
