What separates this series from the usual Feludas and Byomkesh Bakshis is the simplicity and subtlety in storytelling. The lead character Damayanti, is a Prof of History and has an eye for details. She keenly observes, spots discrepancies, is intelligent and analytically dissects the events.
She is not a regular detective but another intelligent person who is curious and observant enough to solve cases. And hence if you felt it to be not so nerve wrecking its because Damayanti is not a professional detective and hence she does all her investigations like an intelligent commoner and hence the divergence and uniqueness from other detective stories.
The directors have beautifully utilised the surroundings of Bolpur and Bengali culture. The lead character wears gorgeous sarees, that compliments her intellect. The friendship between the husband and her is lively, supportive and one where you would find a lot of similarities when you look around.
Is it a perfect story, answer is no. There are flaws like the investigation is too simple and easy at times, the premises are always unguarded for her to get into and check. This is sometimes utopian. However if you are looking for a very homely, comforting series and a easy story - do dig into this one.
