As someone who has watched season 1 and season 2, I do have a slightly different take. For me, season 1 was never anurag and prerna's Story. It stopped being their story once their marriage broke down and anurag was ruined. The connect between them was lost, which is why that shoddy and hasty ending where they die together and meet in heaven made no sense at all. Honestly, I have always felt that Ekta, going by the norms of generational leaps of those days wanted to show a story of anurag and prerna over 50 years but in the process, she never actually got around to showing their story. It ended up being Bajaj and prerna's love story with anurag as the sorry guy left perpetually alone. Which is why, the anupre fan in me hated season 1. And which is why I love season 2. Because I spite of the shoddy writing and even worse direction and editing at times, this story has still tried to be about anurag and prerna. They've played with it at times, come very close to irreversibly butchering it, but thankfully that essence is still not lost. Maybe you need to be an anupre fan to see that and relish it, I don't know. But for me, and many others anurag and prerna are kasautii zindagi Kay 2, and for that, I guess I'm thankful to Ekta for making this reboot. The rest honestly, the story post NB is nothing to write home about.
I guess the way I understand it in a nutshell is if you're a season 1 Bajaj and prerna fan, you may not relish season 2 because those fans are going to be disappointed. I maybe wrong but uptil this point atleast, that doesn't seem to be on the cards this season. But if you're a anupre fan or a neutral who is coming into this show with fresh eyes, then parth and erica's anurag and prerna will get their hooks into you. No one can watch this show for content, that's for sure.
Good luck and happy watching.
P. S. As someone who caught up with this show around the time of the 100th episode only,I can safely say that the first 100 episodes are epic binge watching and are glorious. Everything is mostly downhill from there.
