While I try to follow the episodes I find it difficult to ignore some flaws. Does anyone feel the same?

1. Were Shumbh-Nishumbh and Tarkasur contemporaries

Tarkasur is shown to seek a boon from Mahadev and then disappear from the story for sometime. First of all, why did he seek such a boon and when(during Sati time, Shiv's Samadhi or after Shiv-Parvati's marriage). Secondly, why would an asur who considers himself immortal sit silently. Third, was he just another asur serving Shumbh-Nishumbh.

2. Shumbh-Nishumh's boon
Why would anyone keep a loop while seeking a boon? Did they ever realize their mistake of missing out women while seeking the boon?

3. Parvati didn't know Mahadev's past.

Parvati might not be aware of her previous birth but was she really unaware of Mahadev's past too? Very unconvincing.

4. Asuras residing in Patal lok even after winning Swarg lok

Am I the only one who finds it strange?

5. Quality of disappearing

Both gods and asuras have this elusive power of disappearing from a spot. Do they forget it at times? Devi Lakshmi looked so helpless when Nishumbh was about to capture her. Similarly Shumbh-Nishumbh running for life with Mahakaali chasing them looked funny

6. Human portrayal of Tridev-Tridevi

Tridev-Tridevi's are known to be all-knowing who can see the past and future. For once, I can excuse Parvati considering her a human but cannot digest the restless and what will happen now' behavior of Lakshmi-Narayan

7. Casting and costumes

Height mismatch between Tridev-Tridevi's looks quite awkward. I find Lakshmi-Saraswati's jewellery and wig pathetic. They don't look like Godesses.

you wrote my exacts thoughts...i am lost n disconnected...
it seems more distorted to me...rather than following the scriptures...they do follow the scriptures but makes khichdi out of it...everything is shown in 1 epi...they are more on rocket speed...thus everything seems disconnected...i can't even connect with shiv-parvati...the only best abt it is Pooja...she is phenomenal as parvati...sati...mahakali...her connection with the mother divine is phenomenal...

No as far as I have read Shumbh Nishumbh and Tarakasur were not contemporaries

2. Shumbh-Nishumh's boon

Actually they consider women beneath their levels always

3. Parvati didn't know Mahadev's past.

Parvati might not be aware of her previous birth but was she really unaware of Mahadev's past too? Very unconvincing.

This is a genuine mistake as Parvati knew about Shiv's past too

4. Asuras residing in Patal lok even after winning Swarg lok

Am I the only one who finds it strange?

Yes that is really strange

After capturing Swarg Lok they would stay there

5. Quality of disappearing

Both gods and asuras have this elusive power of disappearing from a spot. Do they forget it at times? Devi Lakshmi looked so helpless when Nishumbh was about to capture her. Similarly Shumbh-Nishumbh running for life with Mahakaali chasing them looked funny

That was another glaring flaw

They just wanted to show her helplessness

6. Human portrayal of Tridev-Tridevi

Tridev-Tridevi's are known to be all-knowing who can see the past and future. For once, I can excuse Parvati considering her a human but cannot digest the restless and what will happen now' behavior of Lakshmi-Narayan

Yes Tridev know everything so Narayan asking Shiv about everything is really weird

7. Casting and costumes

Height mismatch between Tridev-Tridevi's looks quite awkward. I find Lakshmi-Saraswati's jewellery and wig pathetic. They don't look like Godesses.

I don't have much problem with the costumes except Lakshmi's ring at the back

Did I just forget to mention my dislike on the portrayal of Parvati-Narayana as siblings?
Some of you might me a fault finding machine but I couldn't help myself.
I can't explain it in words but I find it weird when Parvati addresses Lord Narayana as jyesht. Narayana is unborn whereas Parvati was born to King Himalaya then how can they be siblings? We needn't always measure relationships by attaching labels to it. At least Tridev-Tridevis are beyond that

Being a devotee of Lord Krishna/ Vishnu I can assure you one thing; the show might hv many flaws; but this is something they got it correct; Lord Vishnu always considered Devi Parvati as his sister; just like Krishna and Draupadi; though Shubdra was his sister; Krishna loved and considered Draupadi also his sister; they shared a beautiful bond; similarly Goddess Durga and Lord Vishnu are like brother and sister!!

Not necessarily they have to be any blood relationship between two people to be siblings;
Some Relationship are above everything!!

Good opinion @imnowhere
How can we share this to the production team? So they can correct it and make it better

Anyway I love yesterday's scene when Narayan took care of Parvati by giving her water to drink..
They show Narayan always exist to help whoever need Him

Somehow, I beg to differ. Krishna-Draupadi shared the sakha-sakhi bond, it may not be a blood relationship but was very pure, unique and beyond comparison.
In the context of Parvati and Narayana, even they share a divine relationship. The term 'Jyesth' somehow falls short of justifying it. Nothing more.

Again this is purely my point of view

As per, Pradhanik Rahasya of Durga Saptashati, Vishnu, Uma can be called bro-sis, as both appeared together.
http://durgasaptshati.blogspot.in/2013/06/blog-post_19.html

Taraksur's boon was given before Sati. At that time Shivji was vairagi. So he was confident about Shiv putra's may never be born.
As per Durga Saptashati, during the war with Chand, Mund, RB, Shumbh, Nishumbh all Deva's Shaktis came to help Devi. One of them was Kartikeya's Kaumari Shakti. This proves Kartikeya existed at that time.
