Seeman said the series portrayed the Tamil Eelam freedom struggle "cheaply, intending to tarnish Tamils image." It is highly condemnable that the web series has been made to sound like the voice of the Sinhala government which allegedly invaded, dominated, and annihilated the homeland of the Tamils, he said. Such web series should never be screened as it contains obnoxious content against Tamil and supports pro- Sinhala ideologies or any other race," he wrote
