The new Netflix series Glory combines a murder mystery with the competitive world of Indian boxing. Created by Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja, the show is set against the backdrop of Haryana and involves a dysfunctional family.

The series begins with the death of an Olympic hopeful being coached by Raghubir. This tragic event sets off a chain of reactions among the characters, particularly brothers Ravi and Dev, who return to their hometown after a violent incident.

Key facts:

• Glory consists of seven episodes.
• Divyenndu plays Dev, who serves as the emotional core of the story.
• Pulkit Samrat portrays Ravi, a boxing star forced out of the spotlight.
• The series explores themes of revenge and familial trauma.

Critics have described the boxing scenes as lifeless and perfunctory. The show has been labeled a surface-level thriller that fails to deliver on emotional and physical tension.

One reviewer noted, “The violence is extreme, the grief feels distant, and the storytelling is high on testosterone but low on feeling and insight.” Yet, Divyenndu’s performance brings intensity that the show lacks overall.

As viewers discuss the series, many express disappointment in its character development. What should be a tight drama instead becomes tonally scattered, leaving several threads dangling.

Glory was released on Netflix in May 2026. Observers will be watching closely to see if future seasons address these criticisms or deepen character arcs.
