This 10-episode medical thriller has no superstars, yet became a hit, has 7.6 IMDb rating, its name is…

If you enjoy layered stories built on real-world issues, this one's for you. In 2022, a web series titled Human dropped on Disney+ Hotstar without much fanfare. No massive promotions, no household names leading the cast—but what it had was a storyline that hits hard. In a time where content is everywhere, Human stood out not because of glitz, but because of guts. What's Human all about? Set in the underbelly of the healthcare world, Human explores the shocking reality of illegal drug trials on poor people. It doesn't sugar-coat anything. Instead, it shows how far pharmaceutical giants can go when driven by profit, even if that means putting lives at risk. The plot takes us deep into the workings of hospitals, research labs, and the blurred lines between morality and ambition. Each episode pulls you deeper into a system that seems all too believable—and that's what makes it haunting. Performances that will stay with you Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari lead the cast, and both actresses are phenomenal. They play characters who are complex, flawed, and entirely unforgettable. Shefali in particular delivers one of her finest performances to date. Other strong performances come from Ram Kapoor, Seema Biswas, Vishal Jethwa, and Riddhi Kumar, all of whom lend weight to a story that's already heavy with tension. Binge-worthy with a message Human has 10 episodes, and chances are you'll fly through them. The writing is sharp, the direction is focused, and the pace rarely falters. It's the kind of show you think about long after it's over. Where to watch? The series is streaming now on Disney+ Hotstar.
