The Family Man 2 review: Manoj Bajpayee meets his match in stellar Samantha

Domestic disturbances collide with diplomatic tensions in the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s The Family Man — a snappy, but slighter follow-up to 2019’s terrific season one. Manoj Bajpayee returns as Srikant Tiwari, who is struggling to assimilate into a life of corporate drudgery. Saving the world, as his buddy JK tells him in an early scene, is no longer his job. But when his marriage starts to split at the seams, Srikant gravitates towards the only safety blanket in his emotional closet — his old gig as a covert operative at a clandestine government agency. Srikant is caught in a web of geopolitical intrigue when a group of Sri Lankan Tamil rebels concocts a plan to assassinate the prime minister of India, and uses his teenage daughter as bait to get him out of the way. Watch the full video for more details.
