Actually, good acting does squat for me if the storyline - particularly in a historical or mythological setting - is in the dumps. I recall when the Imagine TV Ramayan aired, how people were critical of the show during the Uttarkand stage, but praising their acting. Sorry, but that does nothing for me if the story is getting fictionalized.
This is the third such mytho where I've seen good actors getting wasted on fictionalized plots - in Ramayan, it was Gurmeet & Debina who were getting their talents wasted, in DBSK, Vishal would have been great had Krishna not been busy playing games w/ Paundrak and at the end, trying to straighten out the mess in Lata's life, and now, Mohit, who's been sublime to date, is just wasting his time doing things that Shiva didn't do in the Ramayan. Trust me - there are still interesting stories left - the 2 incidences of the fake Parvatis (one by Nandi 😆), the stories on Andhak, Manasa Devi, Ayappa - all that is just Shiva's family. If they want to broaden it a bit, there are other stories out there.

I've decided that I might as well catch the weekly summaries on Saturday 8pm - will save myself a lot of time. I do plan to resume watching a bit for Piyush Sachdev, just to see what he is like as Rama. But he too will be a wasted talent in playing out this Rama - once it's over, he should move to Mahabharata as well. Preferably in the other serial, not this one.
