CAT (2022) S01

CAT narrates the story of Gurnam, who in an attempt to save his brother’s life, who is a drug peddler, is compelled to go back to being an informant. He used to be one during the Insurgency of the 1990s as CAT, but he now has to tell on the terrifying Drug Mafia of Punjab. This, leads him to come face to face with his dark past. Will he be able to rise through politics, corruption, and crime to bust the drug cartel or will he go down the rabbit hole in this cat-and-mouse chase? Well, for that, you’ll have to watch out for the series.
Another beautiful yet complicated aspect of the story is the number of things all happening at once, and yet, the backstory of every character is woven well. Be it Madam Aulakh or Shamsher or Kimmy, there’s so much to look forward to, enough to keep you hooked.

Living under an alias, a former police informant is summoned to infiltrate a major drug empire but uncovers a dangerous connection to his dark past. Every time Randeep does something new, you know you want to see much more of him. As an actor who simply focuses on doing good work, he never disappoints. Be it the role he dons as the responsible elder brother or when he turns an informer, he knows how to ensure subtlety while also being powerful. There are scenes where you know it is just him acting, but you feel strongly (you’ll know which ones once you see it through).
Suvinder and Hasleen, both indeed bring weightage in helping the story forward smoothly. The former, a veteran, is always amazing at what he does, and Hasleen as Babita, is yet another impactful performance that doesn’t disappoint. With multiple supporting roles, everyone plays their part to the T, especially kudos to young Gurnam for bringing that balance of innocence, but also vengeance.

If crime-thriller is a genre you enjoy, be rest assured to remain hooked to the Netflix series through and through. Brace yourself for two-three twists that you wouldn’t see coming, and some of them do scream dramatic, but why not?
