Season 2 reviews The series received mixed responses from critics. It was praised for its performances by
Swara Bhaskar and
Sumeet Vyas while it was criticised by some for its story. Sreehari Nair of
Rediff.com gave 2 stars, criticizing its plot while praising the performance of the cast "What holds the show together is the cast; performers who frequently rise above their stodgy lines to bring something personal to the table." She added "''It's Not That Simple
is, at its core, a speeded-up, foul-mouthed version of shows like Shanti
and Swabhimaan'' -- those
Doordarshan soaps where business magnates had secrets that only their slavish butlers knew about." Soumya Rao of
Scroll.in mentioned "Strong performances come to the rescue when the dialogue and plot fall flat. The surface-scratching observations about gender bias and stereotypes are complemented by a couple of genuinely strong moments." A reviewer for
Firstpost said "Performance wise, ''It's Not That Simple'' season 2 earns brownie points. Vivan oscillates perfectly between the obsessive friend and repulsed, homophobic lover. Sumeet is unsurprisingly on point. His predatory nature is well-fleshed out, all the while keeping it understated. Swara Bhasker does justice to a role tailor-made for her"
The Indian Express gave 3 stars, saying "the focus here is on Swara who looks svelte and gives her character a heft and heave that never seem manufactured. Some of the dialogues do sound like bumper sticker wisdom and WhatsApp forwards." == References ==
