I have lost all interest in the second season, primarily because I have lost all emotional connect with the characters.
If I am supposed to be thrilled with the efforts Jai is putting in to save the city, at the cost of his son, who is infected, and his daughter who is now in Roshan's custody, then, sorry boss, I don't feel too bad.
Initially, when he rescued Roshan from Jail, I was curious to know why he was doing. Then when we got to know it was a planned operation, it seemed like a big reveal.
It was still intense to watch Jai with Haroon and Roshan, taking Maya's help to get a phone and staying in touch with ATU, etc.
It was no interesting to watch Jai giving signal to ATU for attack..arresting Dhruv, etc.
But, from the time Kamat died, and Roshan escaped with Virus, the story went downhill.
For me, the suspense of belief is too much to ask from us viewers.
First problem is the unnecessary killing of characters. Kamat, Shibani, Gyan.. all these characters were killed off for nothing. No plan, no nothing. I am not even sure how killing off these characters helped take the story forward.
It is ok to show the villian as ahead of the game for a while, but the hero also needs to appear as outsmarting the villian, at least occasionally, for the viewer to stay interested till the end.
In this story, the villian is calling all the shots and is ahead of the entire ATU mechanism, who appear like bumbling idiots, most of the time.
Yesterday's episode for instance, they go the apartment to catch the guy infected with Virus. And then show ATU going up in one lift, while the infected guy comes down in another lift. I mean, seriously?
If the writers thought, viewers will stay interested till the last episode to see the hero win, then sorry, in this case, the hero's character sketch is not such that we are all holding our breadth and waiting to see Jai make mince-meat of Roshan, save his son and daughter, save ATU, save PM, save everything.
With just two more episodes to go, when we are supposed to be thinking about who is the mastermind, we are only thinking in terms of -- khatam karo story ko. it is anyways not going anywhere.. :)
(This is entirely my opinion. I am sorry and request you to please ignore if you don't like this write-up)
