Web series are seen replacing the daily soaps shows as well as the Bollywood cinema. The sudden rise of web series in India sparked the youth because it doesn’t show the same old melodrama as those mediocre daily soaps do. We have grown watching the same content over the years about how a simple lady marries a person with a big family, where she does everything to please others, yet being hated by everyone. This story is being repeated over the years in every show with some twists and spice, here and there.
Web series in India earned the heart and attention of many Indian youths because it offers content over melodrama. Close to 70-75 % of the Indian population is the youth, and the majority of these youths are on the internet. Most of the viewers of web series can relate to the content it displays. Like live-in relationships, homosexual stories, crime thrillers, the life of a common man in some crappy place. The web series brings us these types of content which attracts us also because the television world wouldn’t dare to touch and bring it to their shows. This happens because censored board exits and they have made a rule not to allow mature content on their platform. But the web series can push all these boundaries as it is an online platform. The writers can take it to their limit with all the freedom, and because of it, they can show the reality of society.
Because of the sudden boom of the web series, many companies like Netflix and Amazon have started investing money and started making series with the Indian audience in mind.
These series are not only in trend because of the nudity it shows or the cursing, but the digital platform also allows these series to reach to every corner and shows the life we live.

Web series also raises awareness by showing us the mature content, like a story about a teenage couple, or how our politicians are. People have started realizing the fact that this sudden boom has created curiosity in their minds about many issues we were never aware of.
So let’s talk about the latest hit web series that helped to increase the popularity and introduce the world of the digital platform among India. Series like Scared games, Mirzapur, The family man have gained the demand in a short period. These web series were heavily focused on nudity, cursing, lawlessness, and drugs.
