Absolutely! I feel no interest in watching ITV shows. I had bad experiences with Naagin 6, Krishna Mohini and recently Ghum.
1) Naagin 6: I liked Naagin 3 and Naagin 5. Surbhi Jyoti was graceful as Naagrani, Bela in Naagin 3. The male lead was a green flag. In Naagin 5, Sharad Malhotra's acting was absolutely amazing! His chemistry with Surbhi Chadna was also good. So, I watched season 6 too. But it was pathetic! Only Tejaswi's acting was good as Naagin. Other than that, there was nothing in season 6.
2) Krishna Mohini: I had high expectations from this show! When I watched the promo, I thought it was good that Indian makers wanted to show a transgender character. But I won't forget what they did to that show. If some people decide to make an Indian tv show based on a person who belong to LGBTQIA+ community they need to do that with sensitivity. The makers had a responsibility. But they made the trans woman, Mohini a vamp. In our country, India, a lot of people are already transphobic and homophobic. They think about gay men and transgender people negatively. So, when ITV makers show lesbians, gay men and transgender people in a negative light it deepens the negative feelings of those people. The makers could have done so much with Mohini's character. They could have shown the obstacles she faced after becoming a woman. They could have shown her aspiration and career. But no, they made her a vamp instead. Is there any rule that the female lead's sister always need to be a vamp? Specially, Mohan was a really naive and innocent boy at the beginning. He used to love his elder sister at all. ITV makers changed Mohan's personality after the sex change operation. Women ho ya trans women, Indian television mein female leads ki beheno ko vamps dikhana hi hai. If ITV makers can't portray gay men, lesbians and trans women with sensitivity, they shouldn't touch that topic. Also, Mohini's mother-like elder sister, Krishna couldn't recognise her when Mohini came back to take revenge on her after a few months of her sex change operation. It didn't make any sense. Gender change hua hai, face to nahi hua hai. Krishna knew her brother, Mohan wanted to be a girl and the girl looked like him. So, Krishna should've at least suspected that the girl could be Mohan.
3) Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein: The makers totally ruined TejNeil for me. They destroyed Neil's character too. It seems they're showing whatever they want. The show has become completely ridiculous and weird now. The makers are making a mockery of relationships and marriages.
