QUICK REVIEW: Scoop is a well-executed and binge-worthy show due to its powerful script, brilliant direction, and great performance. The makers kept the series short and crisp instead of dragging it to 8 or 10 episodes. Hansal Mehta’s direction is the major highlight of the show. He manages to keep the viewers hooked in all 6 episodes.
Karishma Tanna as Jagruti Pathak has delivered a remarkable performance. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Deven Bhojani shine in their roles. Prosenjit Chatterjee, Harman Baweja, Tanmay Dhanania, Inayat Sood, and all other supporting actors have given praiseworthy performances.
