Daldal

officer haunted by unresolved past trauma while simultaneously trying to solve a complex case. The narrative moves at a deliberate, slow-burn pace, spending considerable time on character backstories rather than momentum. The series leans heavily into psychological themes—disturbing imagery, psychopathy, brutal murders, and the constant friction between law enforcement and a flawed system that often obstructs investigation. It also touches on institutional sexism, showing how a female officer is not treated as an equal, with male ego and authority politics repeatedly coming in the way. Alongside this, the story explores two orphanage survivors whose traumatic childhood experiences push them toward morally questionable paths. Despite these layered themes, Daldal sticks to a familiar, tried-and-tested storytelling template. Emotional connection with the characters remains weak, and several plot beats feel predictable. The slow pacing, rather than adding depth or impact, frequently drains the narrative of energy and leaves the series feeling flat and uninvolving. Overall, Daldal is a decent watch with solid production values and some strong performances, but its sluggish narrative and lack of emotional engagement prevent it from becoming truly gripping.
