10 New Indian Web Series You Should Watch

It’s not a surprise or a secret for anyone that a lot of Indian movies, even ones made recently, look like they’re stuck in the past. There hasn’t been a ton of progress in India’s film industry for the past couple of decades. But just because most of India’s TV shows and movies are catering to the masses and perpetuating old stereotypes, it doesn’t mean there isn’t progress happening elsewhere. As per usual, when the big media companies refuse to change their ways, the talented people are more than happy to use the internet in order to achieve their creative goals and tell their stories. So if you’re up for watching some amazing Indian shows – look no further. We’ve compiled a list of 10 new Indian web series you should really binge-watch.
