The performances of the actors will keep you hooked but the 8 episode series, gets monotonous and draggy. We cannot blame the writers, because there isn’t much that can be told. The writing of the show is not new and the screenplay seems overly done. The direction is also average and the locations could have been better. The cinematography is also not up to the mark. There are many instances where you are left wanting more. The audience is also left on a cliff-hanger many times in the show.

Is there a chance of Crackdown Season 2?

The chances of a second season are obvious as the audience is left with many cliffhangers. The plot can also be explored further. The show has also been well received by the audience and we can hope for another season sometime soon.

Crackdown: Is it worth your time?

 Our final verdict says that while this may not out best picks, but this web drama isn’t the worst either. You can give it a try as it is a good one time watch. You can watch it for the ensemble cast and a thrilling plot that keeps you hooked for 8 episodes.
