OK Computer review: Hotstar’s new comedy wastes Jackie Shroff, fails to boot up

Not all bad shows are alike. Some — and these are more common — are made by people who have no idea how to tell a story. But others, like this week’s OK Computer, are created by folks that are significantly more cine-literate. In the span of one month, Hotstar has produced both.

While 1962: The War in the Hills was aggressively inept in every imaginable department, OK Computer, co-produced by the always interesting Anand Gandhi, is considerably more esoteric. When we’re first introduced to Radhika Apte’s character, she’s barging onto the scene quoting Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. It should be noted, however, that the show never mentions Asimov, and almost appears to pass these concepts off as its own.
