The Family Man from Amazon Prime Video and Bard of Blood from Netflix were pitted against each other. The reason was simple; they belonged to the same genre and were coming back to back.
Well, both the series are out now, and the verdict is clear. The Family Man has won the first set of critical appraisal. It is the better of the two is what many claims. The Family Man had more edge to its story comparatively. When it comes to the lead, Manoj Bajpayee is in a different zone compared to Emraan Hashmi.
The Family Man was directed by Raj & DK, who are known for their quirky sense of humour and sharp writing. It is this aspect that has ultimately made it come out on top of Bard of Blood. The latter is flat and try and looks like trying too hard and serious.
Since there would be no details regarding the viewership, it would be hard to say which is the more prominent commercial success. But, critically, anyone can see which the winner is of the two.
