School of Lies

A critic of The Times of India wrote "The breathtaking beauty of the lush green surroundings becomes a character in its own right, enhancing the mysterious nature of the show's storyline.

Firstpost wrote "The narrative is promisingly tense but the performances are unfortunately all auto-pilot.

Santanu Das for Hindustan Times wrote "There's a rootlessness with which the overlong and repetitive School of Lies operates- the school might as well be located somewhere near the railway station to employ the sound of tracks.

A critic from India Today rated 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "One of the few loopholes about the show has to be how different storylines are stitched and not every explanation quenches your curiosity.

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the series 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "The repercussions of unhappy (or confused) states of mind, the contradictions between studied external posturing and raging inner turmoil, and friendships tested and scalding betrayals are effectively plaited into the larger portrait of lacerated lives."

Scroll.in wrote "The show emphasises the danger of unresolved issues, childhood trauma and proclivity for repeated behavioural patterns, but opts for visual impact and specific surprise, padding the narrative with surplus characters and side plots."

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote "Amongst the strands not as impactful as they should have been is the depiction of the cruel discipline-bondage bit between some masters and students; another is an attempt to portray the pain that comes from infidelity."

The Week wrote "Viewers might even feel let down at certain points where they would not have been able to segregate a flashback from the present state.
