7 Web Shows That Made OTT Unmissable in 2025

The Family Man (Amazon Prime Video) Starring: Manoj Vajpayee, Jaideep, Ahlawat, Nimrat Kaur, Sharib Hashmi and Priyamani A genre-defining series, The Family Man continues to balance high-stakes espionage with very messy family life on the screen. The show centres on a middle-class intelligence officer who juggles covert operations, national security threats, and a home that often feels just as chaotic as his missions. Known for its razor-sharp writing, humour, and emotional core, the series uses thrill, satire, and vulnerability to explore what it means to be a “hero” on the field and a flawed, ordinary person at home.

Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery (Amazon MX Player) Starring: Karan Tacker, Kalki Koechlin, Danish Sood, Saloni Batra, Shubham Chaudhary, and Nimisha Nair Inspired by real events, Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery blends investigative drama with deeply unsettling horror. The series follows a renowned paranormal investigator whose encounters with the unexplained are documented with near-clinical precision until his own life is thrown into mystery. Each case combines urban legends, haunted sites, and unanswered questions, building a creeping sense of unease. Rather than relying on cheap scares, the show uses atmosphere, doubt, and silence to make viewers question what they believe about the supernatural.

Ek Badnaam Aashram (Amazon MX Player) Starring: Bobby Deol, Aaditi Pohankar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Darshan Kumaar, and Anupriya Goenka Ek Badnaam Aashram is a hard-hitting crime drama that lifts the curtain on the dark underbelly of godmen, blind faith, and organised power. The series follows a charismatic but dangerous cult leader whose sprawling empire thrives on manipulation, exploitation, and political patronage. As survivors, insiders, and investigators slowly push back against his reign, the show exposes how faith can be twisted into a weapon, and how difficult it is to bring down a system built on fear and complicity.

Khauf (Prime Video) Starring: Monika Panwar, Rajat Kapoor, Geetanjali Kulkarni and Shilpa Shukla Khauf is a psychological horror drama that treats fear not as a monster in the dark, but as something that lives in the mind. Set in an unsettling, closed environment where every sound and shadow feels loaded, the series follows characters haunted by trauma, guilt, and paranoia. As their grip on reality begins to blur, viewers are never quite sure what is real and what is imagined. The slow-burn pacing and restrained performances make Khauf less about jump scares and more about the suffocating experience of living with unresolved fears.

Black Warrant – Tihar’s Brutal Realities (Netflix) Starring: Zahan Kapoor, Rahul Bhat, Paramvir Singh Cheema, and Anurag Thakur Black Warrant plunges viewers inside one of India’s most notorious prisons, offering a stark look at life behind high walls and locked doors. The show follows inmates, guards, and officials as they navigate prison politics, systemic corruption, and shifting power equations. Each episode peels back another layer of how justice, punishment, and power intersect in brutal, often dehumanising ways. Rather than romanticising crime, the series focuses on survival, moral ambiguity, and the thin line between the guilty and the forgotten.

Lafangey (Amazon MX Player) Starring: Harsh Beniwal, Gagan Arora, Barkha Singh and Anud Singh Dhaka Lafangey is a raw, heartfelt coming-of-age drama that follows a group of friends stumbling through love, money troubles, ambition, and bad decisions. Set against a relatable urban backdrop, the series captures the chaos of being young, where friendships are everything, plans rarely go as expected, and growing up often means learning to live with your own mistakes. The show’s charm lies in its imperfect characters, lived-in humour, and emotional honesty.
