According to many articles, the reviews written are majorly focused on the poor and weaker sections of the show. And are expressed like the series is a chain of off-plot scenarios with a dynamic action sequence which lacks newness. In addition to it, the series leaves you with no surprise reaction on your face, is made with low and poor scriptwriting and one needle of thread leads to another that makes it all muddled up in order to display a series of events altogether.
