CID is that 1 show I believe, which brought a lot of audience to SONY, tmkoc and CID are the epitome of serials which brought significant attraction from diverse backgrounds, people of all ages loved these 2 shows. CID ran for 21 years, tmkoc is still getting the slot they had previously despite absolute baseless shit, the only character holding to the show is jethalals. Whereas CID had good actors, decent amount of creativity, they started creating larger archs too, longer stories, covering all emotions, started Daya -Shreya love track, introduced 2-3 new characters, introduced better technology, did everything but sony failed as a platform. Tmkoc has no scripts at all, still they never had to shift slots, their timings, the recent new year storyline in tmkoc was bapuji flying with ballons to Pakistan, I mean how illogical and baseless was that, they had 20 episodes with this storyline. CID had everything, a teenager wished for, ACP sir had that leadership personality, Daya had banger muscles, abhijeet has good dialogue delivery style, they represented women too, purvi and shreya gave a good representation of how strong women are. Those fiery eyes of ACP and those dialogues by Abhijit, those slaps by Daya was in everyone's Saturday -sunday routine. Every household had that 1 person who couldn't leave this show, there wasn't sonyliv or third party platforms back in 2013-2016 era, people made themselves available for watching Cid, that was the aura. Sony destroyed that years ago, I swear no show could bring the happiness of what did brought to all of us.
