Glory netflix

The new Netflix series Glory combines a murder mystery with the competitive world of Indian boxing. Set in Haryana, the show follows two brothers, Ravi and Dev, who return to their hometown after a violent incident. The series explores themes of revenge and familial trauma.

The series begins with the death of an Olympic hopeful being coached by Raghubir. This event sets off a chain reaction that reveals the family’s dysfunction. Glory consists of seven episodes and features Divyenndu as Dev, described as the emotional core of the story. Pulkit Samrat plays Ravi, a boxing star who has stepped back from the spotlight.

Critics have pointed out several flaws in the series. The boxing scenes have been criticized for being lifeless and perfunctory. One review noted, “The violence is extreme, the grief feels distant, and the storytelling is high on testosterone but low on feeling and insight.” The finale fails to deliver on its emotional and physical tension.

Despite its shortcomings, some performances stand out. Divyenndu brings a lived-in intensity that the show sorely needed. Yet, overall, Glory has been described as a surface-level thriller.

As viewers reflect on the series, it remains unclear how it will be received long-term. Observers note that while it aims for depth, it often falls short of engaging storytelling.
