Dear GEET production house and director.
As a lowly viewer, my opinion can't really alter your plans for the show-- and most of the time, nor should it. The best shows in the world have fallen to bits whilst trying to keep fans happy (case in point Heroes).
However, I have a plea. Please remember the reason so many of your predecessors fell by the wayside-- increadingly OTT story lines, couples who stayed in a never ending loop of getting together and then breaking up, big misunderstandings that could have been cleared up with one simple conversation. Please remember that many shows have failed simply because they didn't avoid these traps.
The audience has matured (although I can understand if you don't believe that, from the puerile way in which we have been begging you for pictures). Nowadays, it seem s to me that the audience would prefer a great storyline with mature acting.
So far, thats what you have given us-- believe me, I am a veteran of TV show watching, with at least 16 years in various fandoms, and I've never felt quite this connection with a show before!
So far, the storyline has stuck (at least to some extent, allowing for some dramatic licence) to vague reality- the scene where Geet confronts her family was amongst the most gut-wrenching I've seen, and the fact that you've detached Geet from her old life so completely is great.
BUT
I'm asking that you remember that the characters in this show actually do talk to each other-- we had a brief glimpse of it when Maan asked Geet about her family, and you got the feeling that he really had been curious for a while, but had been respecting her privacy.
Remember that they can talk to each other, and LET THEM. Don't have a situation where Maan assumes things about Geet or vice versa-- let them have a conversation, and develop things from there.
I don't think (and I admit I'm generalising here) that the audience wants to sit there and groan about yet another convenient misunderstanding which could just have been cleared up with one simple line of dialogue.
Let Maan and Geet be adults-- let her tell him about what happened, even if she doesn't mention any names-- let Maan be a grown up and place blame where it truly lies, with Dev and Naintara. For once, have a main male character who does not act like a spoilt child and throw tantrums, and always blame the woman he supposedly adores.
You have enough other storylines in the pipeline to not need a ghissa-pita misunderstanding track.
Please stay as different and innovative as you have been so far-- show the same guts that you did when you showed your male lead refusing to help a woman running from a group of ghundas.
