Instead, it presents them as two necessary evils in a broken society. The supporting cast, including Athmiya Rajan as the tech-savvy officer Divya, adds functional depth, but the narrative never wavers from its central duality.

The first season explored their backstories, their intertwined relationships, and the events that led to their current circumstances. Iru Dhuruvam -2023- Season 2 Web Series
