Agreed!
But I guess everyone has different reasons for watching the show..
Some want to see Rajeev-Kritika's chemistry, some are in awe of the plot, some want to understand the process of newsmaking as it happens while there are others who want to see a wide display of human emotions as the characters grow from strength to strength..
And by emotions, I mean all possible human emotions - not OTT melodrama that we're used to on TV..
Personally, I am a huge fan of the American drama - The Newsroom and if Reporters can match up to it's namesake in terms or performances and plots, it'll be a great achievement.. (i know the makers have said it's not a remake, but let's face it-it does seem like one so far..)
Besides the makers have/and are claiming that the show is a trendsetter in Tellywood.. So it's but obvious that we as viewers will have very high expectations from them..
And the genre of the show is such that they have to make it seem real and underplay it, coz else there won't be any difference from the likes of similar shows we have..
Soo.. Yup.. It's too early to judge, but obviously Reporters has managed to grab a few eyeballs and I hope it only grows from here..
P.S. Crime patrol is the most fake thing on TV.. The added mirch masala simply takes away from the meat of the story.. 😆
Kidding!
