Episodes
Reception Shah Nahian of The Business Standard criticised its first episode but praised the storytelling ability and music of the web series. Fatin Hamama from The Daily Star said, "All things considered, Pett Kata Shaw definitely did reinvent Bangladeshi horror, a genre that's been woefully under-explored until now".
