Uncovering the Truth: A Gripping Crime Drama with a Stellar Cast.
Netflix's new web-series "Scoop" is a powerful retelling of a real-life crime that puts the spotlight on the media and mafia. The show explores the inner workings of a daily newspaper, professional rivalry, journalistic ethics, and the job of telling the truth. Director Hansal Mehta, who previously directed "Scam 1992," tells the story of an ambitious and enterprising Jagruti Pathak, who is the deputy bureau chief at Eastern Age, a newspaper published in Mumbai. The show's talented ensemble cast adds to the texture and tone of the show, which largely gets things right without being melodramatic.
