Storyline
The plot of The Freelancer begins with Aliya’s family tricking her into becoming a captive in Syria, a war zone. An ex-cop turned mercenary named Avinash Kamath embarks on a rescue operation in the second half of the series. For the mission’s execution, Avinash calls upon his mercenary network and enlists the aid of international spy organisations.
Review
Viewers can’t help but cheer for the protagonists as they win because of the compelling plot and characters created by Neeraj Pandey, Dhav Dhulia, Ritesh Shah, and Shirish Thorat. In particular, the last episode has scenes that will make you sit tight.
The show gains gravitas and complexity from Mohit Raina’s Avinash Kamath. His charisma and the excellent acting of the supporting cast make the film an enjoyable viewing experience. Kashmira Pardeshi gives a powerful performance, overcoming her character’s obstacles with unwavering will.
Besides merits, The Freelancer 2 struggles with monotony. Dissatisfaction is possible due to the convenient way the series ends and the hasty ending of certain characters’ arcs. An additional layer of complexity is introduced and the entire experience is diminished by the inclusion of people that do not meaningfully contribute to the storyline.
#thefreelancer sucked so hard that i went on a rant on why breaking 7-8 episode shows into two parts is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING STUPID.https://t.co/4BkY5OmtxF via @dmtalkies

It is difficult to overlook the parallels since a whole sub-track heavily references the Tiger Franchise.
There are several logical flaws in The Freelancer 2, but getting caught up in the story and characters is the key to enjoying the game despite these issues.
The Freelancer 2 is an uneventful entry in the genre of extraction thrillers. Its execution is flawed, but its riveting story and interesting characters more than makeup for it. The show might have been fantastic if it weren’t for its predictable narrative and sometimes shallow character resolves.
A well-crafted espionage thriller that succeeds despite its flaws thanks to believable acting, an exciting plot, and nail-biting moments.

“The series has nowhere to hide anymore. The build-up implied that the extraction might be cool and complex. But it’s the opposite of cool and complex,” writes @ReelReptile in his review of The Freelancer Part 2.https://t.co/umrvbO6qlO
