Call Me Bae Review | Sucharita Tyagi | Ananya Panday, Amazon Prime Video

Bae too is hard to root for, not because she’s flawed, but because she’s inconsistent.

Call Me Bae Web Series Review by Sucharita Tyagi - Unfortunately, with the female characters, Call Me Bae falls head first into the “feminist young cool girl” archetype shaped hole. Yeh best friend characters joh hone chahiye empowering, but caricature se aage badh nahi paate. You know, when someone is removed from their rich lives, and comes to experience the “normal”, the humor arises from how absurd the normalness of the “normals” feels around the rich. Greg from Succession is funny in contrast, Lupe the house maid from Arrested Development adds humor because the Bluths are SO unfamiliar with her culture, Jerry Mcguire learns about real relationships when a single mother introduces him to her very plain life with her sister and her group of friends. The rich have to learn . The poor don’t have time to cater to their needs, the struggles of daily life weigh too heavily.

Here, all of Bae’s new friends are Kajol from K3G. They’re TOO eager to change her, TOO available to make things happen, TOO invested in her life, way TOO rapidly.

There are moments where the show almost hits its stride—a gag here, a performance there. The series might even work for you in an Emily In Paris sort of way, I’ve been seeing tweets from fans saying they don’t remember a single plot point but they can WAIT for the next season. If nothing else, the fashion game is on point, even if a basic understanding of social media isn’t.
