Maeri Web Series Review: It Feels Like a TV Serial
The story here is of a Mom movie, starring Sridevi, well no problem that the story here is taken from some other movie but it at least shows the intensity that was in the original movie, even in a Web Series there is a good scope to expand and develop other things but there was nothing like that here, there was nothing, a novel factor that the story content is good but other than that whatever things are there or should I say the execution, all of them are poor.
Friends, the contribution of ZEE5 in the world of Indian OTT has not been that special. I mean that there has not been that much good content on this platform and the quality of the content was also quite low but somewhere in between ZEE5 upped its level and brought out some good shows, after that there was a hope that ZEE5 would make a splash.
Now recently a new show of ZEE5 has come, Maeri, about which not many people would know. I also saw it randomly and then thought, "Let's review it."
Now let's find out what kind of show it is.
So in Maeri, you get to see the story of a mother and her revenge that her daughter has been gang-raped and now she has to take revenge, whether she can take revenge or not, to know this you will have to watch this show which is available on ZEE5, it has seven episodes, the length varies around 25 to 30 minutes.
Now, if I describe the review of the Maeri Web Series for you in a few words, then it is masterpiece shit.
The story here is of a Mom movie, starring Sridevi, well no problem that the story here is taken from some other movie but it at least shows the intensity that was in the original movie, even in a Web Series there is a good scope to expand and develop other things but there was nothing like that here, there was nothing, a novel factor that the story content is good but other than that whatever things are there or should I say the execution, all of them are poor.
First of all, this doesn't seem like a web series at all. From any angle, it feels like we are watching a TV serial on the OTT platform. I mean, the production value seems so low that don't even ask.
On top of that, the type of sound design that has been done, the BGM that has been used, was giving the vibe of a TV serial completely.
There is no intense moment. There is no such thrilling experience.
Yes, but the good thing is that here you get to see the complete story in one season itself, which I liked.
Coming to the acting of the actors, some have done a good job, some have done a poor job and some have done a very poor job, meaning that it is not much fun at all and even in the journey of the characters that you will get to see, you do not feel any excitement for anyone, meaning that we are watching the show, the show is going on, the show is over, come on sahab, let's go home now, that was the thing.
Why does ZEE5 make such shows? It is literally beyond understanding. Don't make them. It would be better if you take some time, write it well and bring it at your leisure, but whenever you bring it, destroy it.
All I will say is that there is no fun at all in this show, I am telling you the truth, there is no fun at, there is no fun in the police investigation, the court drama is not interesting, and the revenge drama that started after that lacks high intensity.
So even after knowing all these things, if you still wish, you can watch the show.
I will give th series 3 out of 10. If I talk about parental guidance, there is no abuse, no vulgarity in the show.
So this was my review of ZEE5's new show, Maeri. Hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to subscribe for reading more related content.

Book Review: "Human Monsters: A Horror Anthology" by Various Authors
Yes, it's horror again. I'm feeling kind of down and whenever I'm down I read horror because it makes me feel better. Have you heard about that study that states people who are in depression should watch and read horror in order to make themselves feel better? Yeah, I checked it out some time ago - you should too. Human Monsters is exactly what you think it is, it is about monsters who are human - those who lurk in the normal world, not in the shadows, not in the darkness - they stand right in front of us. They are us. Let's go through my favourite stories in the anthology...

Federal Reinforcements and Rising Tension in Minneapolis
Tension in Minneapolis has risen sharply in recent days as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to deploy hundreds more immigration officers to Minnesota following the fatal shooting of a local woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The move comes amid nationwide protests and deepening polarization over federal immigration enforcement efforts. The decision to send additional officers was publicly confirmed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the reinforcements are meant to “ensure the safety” of ICE and Border Patrol personnel already in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Officials noted that more than 2,000 federal officers have already been stationed in the region as part of what the administration describes as its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. What Sparked the Deployment? The deployment follows the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer during an enforcement action in south Minneapolis. Good, a mother of three, was struck and killed by gunfire as she sat in her vehicle. Federal authorities have characterized the incident as a defensive action, saying the driver’s conduct endangered officers. However, local political leaders and community members strongly dispute that narrative. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other officials have criticized federal accounts of what happened, pointing to bystander videos that they say contradict the claim that Good posed an active threat when she was shot. They have also condemned the broader federal immigration operation in the city, saying it has fostered fear and mistrust in local communities. The legal and investigative aftermath remains complicated. Minnesota authorities sought to investigate the shooting, but federal officials asserted exclusive jurisdiction, citing constitutional protections for federal officers. This has deepened frustration among state leaders who want greater transparency and local involvement in the inquiry. Protests and Public Reaction The shooting ignited protests in Minneapolis almost immediately and spurred demonstrations across the country. Over the weekend following the incident, more than 1,000 rallies were organized in cities nationwide, drawing tens of thousands of participants. Protesters have framed their actions as a call for accountability and change in how immigration policy is enforced. In Minneapolis, large crowds gathered near the site where Good was killed to march and call for an end to what they see as an aggressive federal presence. Many protesters have chanted slogans critical of ICE and the broader administration’s immigration agenda. Scenes from protests have been varied. In some locations, demonstrators have remained peaceful, holding signs and vigils in memory of Good. In others, confrontations between some protesters and law enforcement have occurred, with reports of officers deploying crowd control tactics. Supporters of the federal response argue that a strong enforcement posture is necessary to uphold U.S. immigration laws and to address alleged crime tied to illegal immigration. DHS officials also stressed that the officers being sent to Minnesota are there to protect their federal personnel and keep operations running despite protests. The Broader Context of Immigration Enforcement This episode is part of a much larger national debate over immigration policy and enforcement tactics. The Trump administration’s recent focus on interior enforcement — including deportations and raids — has been a defining pillar of its second term. Minneapolis, a city with a diverse population and sizable immigrant communities, has become a focal point for that strategy. Critics say that such heavy federal deployment in city neighborhoods undermines community trust and disproportionately affects non-violent immigrants and long-standing residents. Advocates for immigrant rights argue that punitive tactics fuel fear, discourage cooperation with local authorities, and erode civil liberties. Supporters counter that rigorous enforcement is essential for national security and upholding the rule of law. They argue that federal agents must be backed by sufficient resources, especially when facing hostile demonstrations or resistance. Voices from Minneapolis Local sentiment in Minneapolis remains deeply divided. Many residents expressed grief and shock over the death of Renee Good, while also expressing concern about the scale and nature of the federal response. A number of community members have organized vigils, public gatherings, and faith-based services to provide mutual support and to call for justice. Conversely, Minneapolis leaders have urged calm while also criticizing federal policies they claim escalate tensions. Mayor Frey has been vocal in his rejection of the federal narrative, insisting that the city deserves transparency and a fair process to understand what led to Good’s death. Looking Ahead As hundreds more immigration officers make their way to Minneapolis, the city and the nation find themselves at a critical juncture in the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement. The coming days will likely see continued protests, political clashes, and legal challenges as both sides defend their interpretations of events and advocate for their visions of public safety and justice. For now, Minneapolis stands on edge — a city caught between federal authority and local calls for accountability, grieving a woman’s death, and questioning how far immigration enforcement can go before it deepens divisions even further.
