Some web series receive disproportionate praise, especially on social media. While some widely popular handles have described it as the best Hindi-language web series of the year so far, many Netizens have mixed reactions to Special Ops Season 2, which premiered on JioHotstar on July 18.
The majority praise Kay Kay Menon’s portrayal of RAW agent Himmat Singh, calling it “iconic,” “brilliant,” and a “masterclass in acting.” Many fans describe the series as a “masterpiece,” highlighting its gripping storyline, high production quality, and modern cyber-espionage plot focusing on AI-driven threats.
However, not all feedback is positive. Some netizens found the storyline slow, overstuffed with subplots, and lacking the tight pacing and excitement of Season 1 or Special Ops 1.5. Critics mentioned issues like inconsistent pacing, predictable twists, and underwhelming action scenes, with one user criticizing it for feeling “stretched” and another calling the fight scenes “pathetic” and “unrealistic.” The narrative’s complexity, with multiple investigations and global locations, was seen as "diluting the core tension", and some felt the show didn’t match the original’s intensity.
