He then dispatched his writing team to conduct thorough research on the subject. The character of SP Dolly Sahu was inspired by the real-life Superintendent Jaya Roy of Jamtara.

Reception:

Kirubhakar Purushothaman from The New Indian Express praised the series, noting that its plot is tightly woven and effectively conveys information, engaging viewers right from the beginning. Udita Jhunjunwala of Scroll.in described it as highly binge-worthy, drawing comparisons to the characterizations and dynamics seen in works by filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia.

Tanisha Bagchi of The Quint expressed that if the narrative had more complexity, Jamtara could have been a significant success for Netflix, especially considering the streaming service’s recent less-impressive original productions. Rohan Nahar of Hindustan Times provided a positive review, suggesting that this underdog series helps cleanse the memory of recent big-budget Netflix disappointments.
