But when as a medium these people think that exerting strength and showing tough love is romance, then why should I use my sensibilities to argue this point. ITV wasn't like this before. It started deteriorating 30 years ago, because before that they ideally were more progressive. Since EK and Gul started ruling the roost, it became a norm. Crucifying a woman in the name of society, culture, love, friendship, romance is the norm here - heroine or vamp. Showing how uber-powerful men can exert money and influence and ruin a woman and fall in love with them is a norm. Have you seen IB? See it, the lead pair was cringe at the power of infinity and when they fell in love all was forgotten. How the hell is it forgotten?
It is a pain and bane to watch cringe I swear and trust me when I say this, I have been there and done that and my thoughts come from my experience of absorbing filth. So I stopped watching altogether. Now, I am at a point where I watch with a pinch of salt and treat them like as is, without going too in-depth, because shows have no depth. Very rarely shows have had depth and they have been different. When I am watching Gul's show, I know what will come with it. So I tune in and out accordingly. When I watch an American/Brit/ European drama or a OTT platform multilingual show, I tune in and out accordingly.
Many aren't able to. I know. But change has to come from the other end as much as from our end. And unfortunately, we aren't the TRP givers. As long as TRP givers watch these shows, the format will not change.
