Scoop is a searing indictment of the entertainment-obsessed media culture of today, and the wholesale corruption of law enforcement in the face of greed and organized crime. As you watch the terrible fall from grace, fame and power of the animated, ambitious and charismatic protagonist Jagruti Pathak, you cannot but imagine this could happen to anyone in the wrong place and time. The acting of Karishma Tanna is just spectacular, especially as she hits low points in her humiliation and disgrace, showing how a massive ego can be demolished one brick at a time. The supporting cast is also excellent, especially Imran played by Ayyub, a lone torch bearer in a sea of sold souls.
As the series progresses your sense of outrage grows, especially seeing the slow wheels of justice grind - reinforcing the credo that delayed is denied. I was outraged at how someone's life could be trampled to bits to suit the agenda of influential people. As Imran aptly asks "Whose mission shall it be to rebuild the destroyed life and career?".
Being rooted in fact this series packs a punch, and certain unresolved dangling threads of injustices make one seethe in anger at the smugness of authorities today. How deep is the reach of organized crime, deep enough to choke off justice?
