A tad dramatic, but which Indian epic tale isn't? The show does a good job of focusing on the 18-day battle at the end of the epic Mahabharata. It's the OG Game of Thrones and Avengers all rolled into one, replete with animated FX of magic warfare. The treachery and duplicitous aspects of this tale, which we have heard from childhood, are made more explicit, which works well to differentiate it from any Hindu jingoism.

You've reached the end.
