wanted to add that all the villains are idiots but the reason they are ineffective is because the writers seem determined on writing a couple without conflicts and who are so in love. 🙄
first, to get to this love stage, there should have been hurdles. and then once they are in love, there should still be hurdles. it doesn't have to be external but how two people react very differently to situations. there needs to be conflict where they have opposing feelings and working through it together. where is the bite? the snark? the push and pull?
for me, a comparable would be the serial bepannah which handled the issues of the past and how that was a huge hurdle for them to get through even to acknowledge their feelings. and it continued to create problems. so as viewers we were invested in the couple growth even through the stupid phase through a lot of the end. even as the master villain turned out to be not that interesting, the conflicts between the couple felt nuanced and credible enough to keep watching.
my problem is that I am not moved or invested in this couple because they don't feel real at the moment. they have gone from having real heat and frizzle to none at all. why? lack of actual conflict between the two.
so if the series needs a revive, we need conflict
