Known for bringing slice-of-life stories, TVF brings a story that is relatable and unique. With casting from their popular shows like Panchayat and Sapne vs Everyone, The Pyramid Scheme tries hard to keep our attention, but it lacks in many places. Here is our full review.

The show understands how pyramid schemes work. It just doesn’t understand how it kills middle-class dreams and breaks them financially, trapping them in a loop they can never break! Somewhere along the way, the series becomes too enchanted by its con artists, turning into a crime drama that never calls crime a crime.

Still, The Pyramid Scheme is worth watching, particularly for anyone who has wondered how these scams actually work on the people inside them. It is funny in the right places, frightening in others, and anchored by performances that keep you invested even when the writing lets the momentum drop. A good show that had the bones to be a great one.
