I cannot stress enough on how important it is for every Indian to see this. As Indians, our parents never have and never will talk to us about sex, and we never will have this subject called sex education, which by the way is extremely important. This series tells us that it is possible to talk to kids, to teach them and make them understand how the human body works.

10. Man’s World

Taking feminism to exactly where it can be understandable for men, in Man’s World we see the men facing exactly the same problems that a woman faces each day. Men, who have been trivializing these problems for a long time now are in for a rude shock as they face eve teasing, rape attempts, menstruation and every other ‘feminine’ issue.

The web series focuses on the problems that an NGO must face in order to be accepted by the society that they are trying to appeal to. Scams, demeaning comments and innumerable setbacks must be faced in order to just do some good. Even something as well-meaning as uplifting the society is opposed by the society itself!

16. Honest Indian Weddings

An honest take on the big fat Indian weddings where from the very start, instead of the little lies that both sides insert as they discuss the alliance, the people involved speak complete truth here, irrespective of how shameful it is. It is hilarious because they say what everyone is thinking during these marriages.

17. Honest Bars And Restaurants

This series is an honest take on the mindset of the people who visit bars and restaurants and those waiters who have to serve them. The waiters and managers talk their mind and so do their clients, which is hilarious because we see them emote what we already know but have never actually seen. We see them voicing things that the waiters, managers and the rest of the staff at bars and restaurants are forced to keep to themselves because of their profession. Due to the hospitality they must compulsorily emote towards their guests, they are frequently insulted and rarely thanked. But in this series we see them responding, breaking bounds and voicing their views.
