Producer Ritika Anand, who also plays the pilot in the series, has said that the series was created "with an aim to create a very desi, Indian science-fiction film and create a genre, different from how the west makes science fiction films." The project was originally envisioned as a film, however due to delays in the release and subsequently COVID-19 pandemic in India, it was released as a web series.

The series received mixed reviews. The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 stars and summarised it as "JL50 is a culmination of mythology, warfare, history and science but it needed an in-depth handling which the plot-line unfortunately started to lack right after the very first episode."[2] Hindustan Times also rated it positively and said, "JL50 offers an interesting story, innovative fusion of Indian storytelling with science fiction and brilliant performances from the entire cast. However, it is in the execution that the film fails quite often."[8] The Indian Express' Shubhra Gupta commended the show "for its attempt to construct a back-to-the-future vibe, and some nice flourishes; you just wish it was better done overall."[9] NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee gave it 2 out of 5 stars and praised Deol and Kapur's performances but pointed to inconsistencies in the show and noted that "the show swims in shallow waters.
