Ps Neil comes across as a character who respects someone's space a lot like agar uske core character par rahenge toh he wouldn't even bother like usko bura lagega if he sees ritu and teju together after marriage but woh utna tamasha nhi karega jitna normally mls karte hain. Which is what not attracting the viewers. And issue itv ke saath yeh hai that they do not explore the grey shade mls are too toxic or too submissive. I haven't seen season 1 so I can't really say unka kya scene tha. But they could've shown thoda introvert guy x extrovert girl ka trope in a fun way to keep people engaged. And usko thoda sa bhi reactive banane ke liye uske character ko thoda reform karna padega
I have three answers for this....
Firstly teju was already very much delulu and angst badhate toh galat hota.....aur Neil not taking any actions even drama when he gets to know about her wife's closeness with a guy will make him a total doormat.....
Secondly I agree about ITV's game of white and black and not playing grey....but still we can see the depth in story instead of narrated drama....matlab I don't know about you but I don't believe in better dialogues better character or toxic portrayal so toxic guy when he/she is having big reasons.... already before me there are few ladies here who mentioned double standards for ML and FL in the name of empowerment.....so you can still sense Neil ki side....
Thirdly it's not actually about reformation it's about going in depth as we just Neil as a person who felt attraction and going as per his helping nature.....but still how he is as a partner is still to explore abhi toh bas mulakat huyi hai puri kahani baaki hai.....
For example Neil was affected when he thought Teju is secretly talking with a guy....even Ritu was affected when Teju was admiring Neil so bhaiyon mein bahut kuch hone wala hai and there is much more to him we haven't seen his anger especially when it comes over his close family members.....
