Only the set and costume design add much-needed texture and focus to the narrative, which begins to test the viewer’s patience after the first few episodes. Jazz City means well, but how long can it survive just on the basis of that? It is a show that sinks under its own weight and is never fully able to commit to the danger, restlessness, and anxiety of a troubled socio-political climate. It is too neat, too calculated, and sadly, too eager to reach a resolution.

Various threads keep dangling, with each episode coming in at 45-50 minutes, with people busily drinking tea — much chai gets khaabo-ed — striking poses on staircases, tinkling away on the grand piano, blowing into trumpets, bludgeoning heads, digging holes, in repetitive loops. The actors, especially Shuvoo, Ghatak, Maitra and Sengupta, try hard to keep their heads above water, but the rest are left to flounder.
