Reception
Deepa Gahlot writing for Scroll.in observed that "The eight-part show swings wildly between farce and family melodrama, reaching the kernel of the plot rather late – how get-rich-quick swindles work, and how the perpetrators get away."[6] Prathyush Parasuraman writing for The Hollywood Reporter India writes that "This pyramid scheme flatlines quickly".[7]
Dhaval Roy of The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "The Pyramid Scheme is not merely a story about financial fraud but a study of human insecurities, aspirations, desperation, and the ease with which people can be manipulated when offered hope."[8] Pritinanda Behera of India Today gave 3.5 stars also and said that "TVF's The Pyramid Scheme perfectly captures the struggles of everyday Indians who get lured into MLM traps for quick money. It is funny, deeply relatable, and exposes the ugly truth behind financial scams."[9]
Abhishek Srivastava writing for moneycontrol rated it 3/5 stars and writes that "‘The Pyramid Scheme’ has an intriguing premise but struggles with uneven storytelling. It raises important questions about greed and ambition, even if it does not always have the answers."[10]
