CID2 confirmed to go OFF-AIR, likely to return with 3rd season!

It seems that Satam sir has confirmed that the show is going off air due to "internal reasons within the channel and production setup" (aka ain't making the TRP for the cost).

And of course the same lollipop of "3rd season coming soon".

I couldn't catch up after 7 episodes.

The trps increased this week.

They should have made it a 4 days a week half an hour shiw airing at 9 or 10 pm.

Season 2 couldn't match the standard of Season 1.

Its been almost 100 episodes. But imo, only 10 to 15 episodes were at par with the level of Season 1 (Final era of Season 1).

Obv, times have changed. And classics can't be recreated

Unfortunately s2 didn't have the same charm for me. Only few episodes grabbed my eyes. I don't know if it was the writing/story/direction/lighting but every episode I felt something missing. Also in s1, there was a bond between the inspectors which was not very visible/seemed rather forced to me.

It could have been better I believe nevertheless, I hope they come back better and stronger. Its one of the best trp bringing show in this channel. The channel also didn't support its own show.

Hopefully Season 3 Will Come Soon

True. Something was missing

Granted this season didn't have the charm and warmth of the golden era of CID but still it was very enjoyable and better content than the garbage nowadays being spewed not only in Indian telly but in Web series platforms too. I will miss it, will miss the main actors the most

Well, in my view, it's kind of 2 part.

First we've changed. We've grown, matured, changed, evolved (blah blah blah whatever term you want to use) as people. Our preferences, habits, thought process, worldview, etc. has changed since we were kids or teens.

Times have changed as well. What worked in the 90s or 2000s is not going to work today. Think about something like comedy. We went from situational humour from the 70s to cross dressing and double meaning dialogues in the 80s to Govinda-style humour which was a mix of stuff in the 90s to situational again in the 2000s to crass sexual innuendo in the 2010s. Things change.

Now what has happened is that CID2 started with the OG S1 style CID. Good choice. It pulled OG fans who wanted that nostalgia trip. Then they tried to tackle a storyline that didn't finish in S1 and bungled it up. After that they decided to continue the nostalgia trip. But the thing about a nostalgia trip is that it only works for a short period. Just because I saw a Govinda song on screen one day and watched a movie of his doesn't mean that I'm going to watch only his movies from now on. Or just because I heard a song from Jannat, it doesn't mean that my playlist is going to be exclusively dedicated to Emraan from now on.

But CID2 PH didn't think this through like we are. They stayed on the nostalgia trip. Yes they brought some current crimes and situations, but they tried to fit it into the CID season 1 style of writing, storytelling, etc.

And let's be honest. The way they dealt with the Eye Gang, ACP Pradyuman death, ACP Ayushmann coming in - that whole situation put a whole lot of OG fans off. I barely watched CID2 after that mess because it pissed me off so much. The channel and PH really messed that situation up when they didn't realize how big the OG fanbase really is and that Parth fans aren't just going to jump onto a new show because he's in it. They have to be pulled in with the story and his character as well. The PH didn't even know how to deal with ACP Ayushmann's character! First he was this rude, arrogant ACP and then suddenly he's showing so much care for the team.

Very good decision

This was expected. The makers just refused to evolve with the times and took everything for granted. Nostalgia will give you initial hype but won't sustain the show for long.
