The household help of the residents of Gurugram’s La Opulenza live in neat, air-conditioned homes. There are golf courses, jogging tracks and parks named after gemstones, a huge clubhouse and a pond deep enough to dump corpses that never surface.
The Amazon Prime Video series Hush Hush is enamoured of the upper-class milieu it brings to the screen – gated communities so large that people take golf carts to visit their friends in the next tower.
There are women who order Japanese meals in swanky restaurants, wear designer outfits and heirloom jewellery and get hydration alerts on their phones. While the makers are zapping viewers with this world of wealth and privilege, they forget that the Big Little Lies-style plot needs to be as interesting as the look.
