But they counted international/ net surfers/elite sections of social strata who welcome radical stories! And that is evident also as the show is more popular in internet media than in the idiot box!
But the quality of show is very important factor to keep the net audience interested! It is just not only dependent on actor's performance but also needs a good flawless writing!
That may be one weak link in the making of this show as it lacks many a time depth & details, I guess!
