Web shows are the go-to source of entertainment for Indian audiences today. People who have become active on social media expect intelligent content and have moved past TV serials and oft-censored Bollywood. With OTT platforms coming in, Bollywood A-listers too are spreading their wings and featuring in some really good web series. While they are venturing into various genres like comedy, romance and lust, my personal favourite has been thriller.
With not many thriller movies in Bollywood or otherwise, it was time to explore digital. So here's taking a look at 9 thriller web series that are bound to keep you hooked this weekend.
