An official adaptation of the 2015 novel The Bestseller She Wrote by Ravi Subramanian, Bestseller follows the story of a novelist suffering from a writer’s block who meets a budding writer. But nothing is what it seems. The story is quite a routine revenge story which is very predictable although moderately engaging. The screenplay is also predictable and lacks depth. It starts off on a good note with an interesting setup as it tries to create a world with some interesting characters with equally interesting dynamics. But once the thriller element begins, it becomes all too predictable. I wouldn’t say it isn’t engaging but one of the main drawbacks has to be the writing here. Probably holding a card or two only to reveal it towards the back end of the series would have helped. But the cat is out of the bag by the end of episode 4 which kind of lessens its impact. The twists and turns are predictable although moderately interesting and they help you keep afloat. The drama ends on a not so high moment where it tries to be more clever than it actually is. So quite a predictable screenplay this, probably the biggest drawback of the show. The positive though is that the show stands at 8 episodes of roughly 35 minutes each which made for an easy binge watch.
