It’s refreshing to watch a series about journalists and newsrooms that brings back memories of our younger selves
I don’t know if you will have seen the new Netflix show, Scoop, by the time you read this (and just in case you haven’t I will post no spoilers – though the story it is based on made the headlines decades ago). Having binged on it over the last few days I must confess that rarely have I seen a TV show in which India’s print media is portrayed in a more realistic and balanced manner.
From the sets to the writing, Scoop (2023) is a rare accurate depiction of how newsrooms function.
Scam 1992 (2020), also directed by Hansal Mehta, recreated the world of 1990s stock-brokers and the Harshad Mehta era evocatively too.
