Spurious liquor killed 60 people in Bihar, India last week. This news took me to this series: Country Mafia on a similar topic. Set in Bihar, the story of Country Mafia revolves around two siblings Ajay and Nannu. They both are IAS aspirants, but their dream is shattered when their father is killed by a local liquor baron Babban. Ajay, Nannu, and their mother stood up against Babban, a merciless Den, and wanted revenge. All three were ready to sacrifice anything and everything for it. How it happens, and what else happens in the cat-and-mouse chase is the plot. The trailer was intense and therefore the audience was tempted to watch this crime drama, but the series could not match the expectations. Many series on the same theme are seen too often on OTT.

Many characters are unnecessarily introdu...
