Flutter, like I said once before; they're not even trying.
Even a show based on Thriller and Drama has rational execution of scenes and character building along with a moral standing, at the end of each episode. SB? has nothing.
The characters are being butchered. I mean, where did V start and where has he ended? Raghav's character building has been skipped -- conveniently bent to retain V. Sia's entire journey, be it psychological or physical, has been skipped as well.
Why? I don't get it. I just don't. When they easily could've stretched the show for over 400 episodes simply by giving each character an independent track and development, shown their gradual growth, kept things logical, and presented moral messages at the end of the day -- then why skip large portions of the characters' stories/development and then jump into something that doesn't even make sense nor does it have any connection to the very essence of the show and its characters. No one can relate anymore. No one is attached to any of the characters anymore. They watch for their actors, waiting for them to quit, so that they can abandon the show for good.
TRPs, forum topics, mails, phone calls, petitions have proven that the recent tracks have all been rejected by the audiences. But the creatives continue down the path that they've chosen, regardless of what viewers want. It makes me feel that the creatives are actually arrogant people. I don't care for arrogance.
What's happened to SB? and its characters only happens when the creators of the show and its characters don't care for it anymore. It only happens when they've got no love for what they've created -- when they can watch their own characters be reduced to nothing, assassinated one by one, the essence diminishing; that's when you know that the writers have detached themselves completely from their own work.
No caring writer can sit idly by and allow his/her characters/show be destroyed. Not if the care/love is genuine. I've seen writers quit their own shows because the channel wanted them to write something, introduce tracks that they couldn't stand for -- that they knew in their hearts that the characters would never be a part of.
What are the creatives of SB? doing? Digging the grave of their own baby?
Pun intended.
There are great examples of TV shows that were based on Thriller/Drama but sustained a fantastic character building and rational story progression and ethics, i.e. moral. E.g. Teen Wolf, Merlin, Angel, and taking a look at SB? in the start it was clearly inspired by Dexter. They could've sustained the Dexter-ness of the show, but simultaneously made it about a victim, not the psychopath, and given the show a moral standing.
What are they doing now? A seven year old V is supposedly going to woo his victim and I have no clue where the hell the creatives came up with this sick idea. But they did. And it doesn't seem like they're using the creative part of their brains recently.
The show being Thriller/Drama doesn't justify the course it has taken, the course that the characters have taken. The truth is that the creatives have failed the show, their very own characters, and even the actors at this point.
It's shameful, to say the least.
