Netflix is finally on its way to conquering one of its largest potential international markets India.

The streaming giant released its first Indian original series, Sacred Games, on Friday. The series which was released in 190 countries, and has been dubbed in four languages and has subtitles available in 24 is receiving positive reviews for its cinematic quality , compelling production and stellar performances.

Sacred Games, based on a book of the same name by Vikram Chandra, is a remarkable take on the age-old gangster-cop trope. The story follows a cat-and-mouse game set up between notorious mob boss Ganesh Gaitonde and police inspector Sartaj Singh. The show is set in Mumbai (including when it was still Bombay), and takes viewers on a sometimes historical, sometimes nostalgic journey through the decades of organized crime, corruption, politics and espionage beneath Indias economic renaissance. It weaves together the lives of the privileged, the famous, the wretched and the bloodthirsty.
