Like remember those detective novels I told you about...the one I use to read when I was very young..which made me wish I could marry a detective guy like Inspector Jamshed and have 8 crime solving kids? I read those recently and there were so many things so insanely stupid in it...and yet I realized I'm still in love with Inspector Jamshed...š
It also depends on who watches what first I guess...my Mom had never heard of or watched DK...she watched KTLK first and then when I told her about DK's story etc and this being an adaptation, she wanted to check a few clips online...so maybe the fact that she got introduced to the story differently made her view it differently.
Personally Mash, I do understand attachments to some things from another era that now wouldn't work for some ppl...maybe it's akin to ppl of this generation saying they don't like DDLJ...I agree that DK was definitely path-breaking for it's time but the way ppl keep touting it as a classic and perfection...yeah that doesn't really work with me...I loved Baba-Ahmer bits and those stayed with me and those aren't being shown as well in KTLK...but the rest has ample scope for being shown better and KTLK is doing that in some ways.
In your case, well you can't watch something if you don't have access or motivation...you are only motivated to watch your Maat show these days so that's about it for you.
