Rest of the things apart,
My main let down has been Umaben
I am not able to reconcile my expectations of the show to what is now
I was an avid watcher
I expected Umaben will be funny, even mean but not evil
To think of throwing out a bahu after 30 days
To do it with unscrupulous manipulations hurts me as a woman
I always kept away from saas bahu shows but turned to this only for sanaya
But the way Umaben is portrayed is worse than the saas in other shows
Another problem is the timing of the show
It airs at 9 when my son and hubby and in laws are sitting for dinner
At that time when romantic scenes come I am not able to do anything
It gets awkward especially with my son
I watched sanz previous show alone or in laptop knowing there are going to be scenes
but in cc it is quite unanticipated as it promised to be a family show
Of course post marriage there are bound to be scenes
but the waist chain scene right after the puja episode was a little surprising
So, on the whole I again pushed t the laptop to watch, when I do watch
As for chemistry I will give it time though they look good
But for me chemistry is not about romantic settings and hot scenes
I look for it in drab scenes like everyday cup of tea
show of concern
fighting
teasing
irritating
laughing
crying
...in short the rainbow of emotions which make life
So I will wait for that to comment about chemistry
On the whole the show can still do better if the story is focused and it sticks to the real theme
Right now the makers seem to be in the pressure to increase TRPs
Don't blame them because shows needs TRPs
But then what they need to think of is how to build the suspense, how to extract the most out of the acting abilities and how to bring out CC's troubles in such a way that audience stay glued to see her battle the evil around her
I guess it will take time
So till then I rest my case
