Despite a bunch of good performers, Comicstaan 2 manages to lose steam for no reason. Does Amazon need to start afresh?

Comicstaan
Only a year ago, Comicstaan 1 dropped at a time when the Indian OTT scene was just about testing the ground. It came as a whiff of fresh air: while everyone was going gangster and drama, it pointed comedy lovers to some stupendous talent, many of whom have been doing well since.
Comicstaan 2 (C2) concluded a day after Sacred Games 2 (SG2) dropped, and in the 12 months between the two editions, a lot has happened in the Indian digital scene. People are now pissed off with SG2, and C2 has been getting a lot of soc-med piss. As the Indian OTT scene goes through its first churn, these two shows seem to have taken the worst hit. It's something for the makers, and the industry as a whole, to chew on — way above my pay grade.
