While I appreciate the show, I hope they maintain the same quality as Season 1. Sometimes sequels lose the magic. But seeing them visit I4C gives me hope they're doing proper research for the cyber crime angle. Fingers crossed!

Respectfully, while I appreciate the show's efforts, I hope they don't overdramatize intelligence operations. Our real officers work silently without any glamour. The ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan though - that's always worth celebrating!
