Since a lot of people were saying TRPs were horrible in pre-leap I checked each week TRP of Pre-leap and post leap. What I understood was the show was able to maintain between 2.00 -3.00 till July 2nd week consistently during pre-leap.
After that show experinced below 2 Trp for 4 times in irregular intervals. However, It was never below 1.8 during those four times (Pre-leap). So most of the time trp fluctiated between 2.00 - 2.2. And Neil's death brought 2.9. Thats the highest TRP they achieved after a long time.
Talking about post-leap, TRP fluctuated between 2.3 -2.5 till 2nd week of April. From that point onwards it fluctuated between 2.2 - 2.1. The court week brought 2.4 and 2.3 trp. Couple of week after Abinav's death it started to decrease. It hit the lowest TRP that they attained in S3. Only increase they got is 2.00 last week. Now they are back to 1.9.
Seeing from the data of TRP, it is clear that writers failed to attract the story to viewers. They have always seemd to increased the TRPs to a significant extent for a short period of time in Pre-leap and Post-Leap. But after that with their sloppy writing the TRP has not improved to a large extent.
TRP wise it hit lowest in Post-leap although they were able to maintain 2.1-2.2 most of the time. The pre-leap story, on the other hand, was consistent so it didn't fall below 2.0 most of the time. But the inconsistency took place in the story during post-leap and viwers also lost the direction as a result of it. Hence it has gone downhill.
If they had handled post-leap properly they could have increased TRPs.
