So true. Kuch ankahi with all its flaws had characters with depth and it was not just the leads. Every other character had layers to them.

I am surprised at myself that I enjoyed binge watching a Hindi serial more than any recent pak dramas. That's how basic majority of the pak dramas have become.

Apart from acting, the writers also don’t put effort in making characters interesting. They are just not interesting to watch. All the males are dumb, the female characters are supposed to be outspoken but they just annoy me. The relationships have no depth. Earlier, there used to be a Sassi (O rangreza), Saba (Bin Roye), Bano (Dastaan), Farah-Arjumand-Ruhi (Diyar e Dil), Insha-Ameera-Sakina-Hajra (Raqeeb Se) along with Qasim, Wali, Irtaza, Maqsood,Hassan, etc and you rooted for them.They made mistakes, annoyed you but still wanted for them to have a Happy Ending. The relationships were soo flawed, yet human and realistic. You could feel that you were a part of those stories. Right now, it’s all same thing. Rich boy falls in love for a poor outspoken girl. They get married. Sasuma behaves like a sasuma. Then there is another girl who is also in love with they guy and does everything in her power to separate them. Other then Kuch Ankahi’s characters, and story. No other show made me invested in recent years which is really sad. Today’s female characters seem to be less strong-headed than the heroines that were introduced earlier. And the male characters are either ABUSIVE or simply DUMB.

But did we not get more diverse content in 2023, with the advent of Green TV, than in any other year in recent memory. There were so many stories this year that were hatke, and not your typical rich boy-poor girl, lustful cousin, evil saas tropes. Come to think of it, the "masterpiece" Hmsafar was exactly all these cliched tropes packaged in Umera's writing and Sarmad's direction

Coming to hatke content, why not watch shows that did give interesting cktrs with depth and interesting stories since last year:

• Tere Husn Ke Naam
• Kabli Pulao
• Khushboo Mai Basse Khat
• Stand up Girl
• Shanaas
  
• Nauroz, Jindo, Jeevan Nagar were good half way through but dragged afterwards.
• Gumm and Breaking News were good I heard. Akhara I've hear is also good. JAM had issues but the story resonated with a lot of urban women.

I see people complaining that we get same content but then they don't even watch when something different comes.

This is a troll account.

Yeah but I have seen many SM users say this kind of stuff which is ridiculous.

Isn't it that wahaj conqueror of Asia account jiska kaam wahaj ko bash jarwana tha by comparing him to babar azam, atif aslam - jinka koi comparison bhi nahi banta tha.

People have shown baar baar ke 60s 70s 80s ke ptv shows mai bhi men wore shawls. Anybody who has seen any ptv knows how common is men in shawls

Either it's a kid with no knowledge of ptv or a troll. Koi normal fan can't be saying it.
