TBH, I have rather a mixed reaction regarding cinematography and other things. Because I feel it's great in a sense that the picture quality is improved and somewhat eye soothing.
But yes, some shows go overboard with grandeur and it looks rather odd/unrealistic.
More than detailing of the story, I feel these days channel are too much TRP hungry and even the makers go with the flow and often destroy the story when channel give them notice.
Because on an average, the way big Indian families or friends are introduced and everything, you'll require at least 15-20 episodes to lay the basic ground and then proceed with the story telling.
Here it seems like the competition starts even before that and instead of laying the foundation, writers keep changing the plot and characterisation and show loses charm.
Even if Season format isn't introduced right away, personally I feel theakers should film like 30-40 episodes in a way that it represents a Season and if the TRP isn't much, they have the option to end it properly within the time channel offers them because that's better than destroying the story.
No matter how small it is, shows do have their own core fans.
That's our point, till a point it's great but story is nil. Like I actually remember sequences for just cinematography or art, story was nil. Balance must be there.
Channels were always Trp hungry, that's business. But lately after a month all shows will take similar route and tracks go same, there's no different story and content. It's more like different actors doing same role.
Yes, exactly! They're confused and just mess up.
Story telling is an art, if you ask me. There's no need of 15 to 20 episodes. It could be done in two episodes, and they can instead show more tracks and plots.
Writers experiment and mess up.
Seasons won't work here much, cos of many reasons but actors too take up different projects. So a finite series of 100 episodes is good to go. But yes, like you say, if it gets super popular it comes with a season after a short break cos team also can get breathing time and mould it interestingly.
