A Blend of Comedy and Mystery
The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh cleverly combines the warmth of an immigrant family comedy with the intrigue of a “whodunit” mystery. The show’s unique storytelling format, which unfolds through flashbacks during an interrogation, promises plenty of surprises along the way.
