Snakes and Ladders Review Balancing Humor and Darkness

Set in the fictional town of Rettamugadu, the story follows a group of teenagers whose innocent mischief leads to a deadly heist and unintended consequences, echoing the board game theme.

While the young cast, particularly MS Samrith and Sasha Bharen, delivers strong performances, the adult characters lack depth due to uneven writing. Visually, the series features moody cinematography, but the tone swings heavily towards seriousness, overshadowing potential lighter moments. Despite its promising elements, the series is a flawed attempt at genre-blending, leaving viewers wanting more from a potential Season 2.
