Why we moving at a snail's pace and being finite.

Idk I saw people earlier too say that the show was being too slow for them however I believe it is moving at an alright steady pace. I get many wanna know Maya's backstory and all or even Arjun's or want them already having a moment with emotions. However I believe that would just ruin characters. Like Maya for example..people were already complaining within the first week that no revelations about her past have been made...but there were. We saw she has a bad past with her father who when comes anywhere near her she gets frightened of, but when she is alone and secure she is confident enough to talk bad about him and also tear up his picture in a blender. Idk people i guess want everything told to them in first few episodes itself. Like 'okay today we saw her frightened of her dad, now in the next two episodes they better tell me why too'. Where is the story in that exactly? If it was some film i get it, they have to reveal quick due to time..this however is a show and the beauty with them is that you can develop characters and their back stories. Right now the audience is being fed of how scared she is...her panic attacks..telling us that they aren't just a one time thing..they occur regularly when she feels frightened. We see her lying awake at night and we as an audience are able to start making the pattern that she in and insomnia patient.

@Insane -- I am one of those people who think it is too slow but I also know that it has keep this pace because it has to go on for 290 episodes -- assuming it does not get an extension. THAT is a lot of time and plenty of opportunity to drag.

May be Sony needs to go back to the drawing board and do finite shows for 100 episodes. Finite should not mean a whole year. That will improve the crispness and focus of EVERY episode.

I heard it was 260 episodes i think..

And yes that still is a very long time for a finite series agreed, so yes there would be dragging. But finite series also do have their story planned out before hand and know how many episodes for which track from which they create that estimate. Cutting it down to around 100-150 would be ideal for the story layout we know, but we have no idea if there are things hidden yet to be revealed afterwards for which they need that many episodes.

And just curious, you said it's too slow, could I know in which aspects? According to you what should have been covered in the 8/9 episodes we had so far?

I must have confused 260 with 290.

Unfortunately from what I know of tv show making in India, I don't think they have really laid out the story in that much detail - i.e have a document with 260 lines - 1 line summary for each episode. They probably have the 10 line outline of the story and must have laid out like 20-25 episodes. Rest would depend on TRPs and audience response.

I find it slow due to constant repetition -

Arjun-Maya interaction is repetitive

Maya-Maya's mother - same tone, no change - we should be learn something little with every interaction

Arjun-his mother - same as above

Arjun-Sanjh - leg pulling, snacking, etc. same over friendly behavior - they established in the first episode itself that Sanjh loved him and he considered her a friend. No progress from there.

Maya's background is complicated and would time to unravel. But they can show more of Arjun's background - where is his dad, his relationship with his mother or Sanjh, etc.

Office interactions could be more explicit where Maya's reasons for keeping him are explored - that would give a deeper insight into her character. We know more about her character from the promos that the show itself.

Btw sorry for such long replies😆

If we did not have the promos, what you would have pegged Maya's character as? A control-freak??

For me too its too slow. Being slow is not the exact problem "BEING REPETITIVE" is🥱 This entire week nothing happened rather than the same things happenieng over and over again. I am already losing interest, I'm sure many of the normal TRP audience will also be lost after this week. The show is too bland to hold anyones interest. In the coming weeks when TRPs drop they may accelerate the pace.
