The highly anticipated third season of The Family Man has recently premiered on Prime Video, immediately sparking a wave of diverse reactions across social media. Manoj Bajpayee returns as Srikant Tiwari, the intelligence agent juggling his covert missions with a demanding family life. The new season, which also features Jaideep Ahlawat in a significant role, has been met with a varied response from viewers.
Some viewers expressed a nuanced appreciation for the latest installment. One online user described the series as "good, but could’ve been better," noting that while Srikant Tiwari excelled in his role as a "wanted man," his portrayal as a "family man" felt somewhat diminished this season. However, they praised the broader universe created by directors Raj & DK, highlighted the excellent cameos, and found the ending intriguing.
It was good, but could’ve been better
This time Srikant Tiwari nailed his role as the wanted man but fell a little short as the family man
Raj & DK’s universe is on🔥 the cameos were excellent
That ending they really left it hanging

Must watch Web Series.
The best of the season is the location of shooting and that is North-east.

However, not all reactions were positive. Some viewers expressed considerable disappointment, criticizing the narrative for a perceived lack of originality. One user questioned the creative direction, remarking, "What have you done @rajndk to one of our favourite series!!!" They felt the plot recycled a familiar premise of "Indian Govt and Indian Agencies fight against some indian born Private Organisation," drawing comparisons to films like Pathaan and Special Ops. This viewer missed the "rawness" that previous seasons offered.
What have you done @rajndk to one of our favourite series!!! You even followed the same story base
“Indian Govt and Indian Agencies fight against some indian born Private Organisation”
like Pathan,Special Ops more like that.
where is that Rawness.

Another critic labeled the season "Too boringgggg," lamenting the absence of suspense, drama, and thrill. This user felt that despite "decent acting," the season was a "dragged sequel with zero storyline." They reported six hours felt wasted, expectations were "killed," and expressed doubts about the likelihood or quality of a potential Season 4 following this installment.
Too boringgggg. No suspense, no drama, no thrill just decent acting. Season 3 felt like a dragged sequel with zero storyline. 6 hours wasted and expectations killed. Doubt they’ll even risk a Season 4 after this mess.#FamilyManSeason3 https://t.co/5pUapQzJXF
