I can relate to what you are feeling.. For me the first 50episides are like the benchmark.. I truly enjoyed them..even now I can watch them multiple times.. Post confession I found myself whining about lot of things be it there pacification, Ananya's tantrums, over stretching of past etc.. But then I kept my faith that they will bounce back and rock the journalism world as team..but no that's not happening and top of it Ananya ma'am is busy accusing her ex-fiance.

Anita is a lost cause..she used to be sensible in the beginning but she has become truly unrealistic currently. Who goes asks ex-wife about her reasons for divorce and how can anyone make a judgement by just listening to one side of the story.

It's a true waste to reason or logic in this track. CVS tried too hard to be different and lost the essence of the show.

Just coz this is gonna end soon..for my own good am going watch the show by keeping all the logic and reasoning behind.


Like you say, I continue to watch just because it is going to end soon. I am still trying to be positive - hope they will redeem this show over the next three weeks and bring it back to where it was earlier.

Anita's character is a lost cause. Actually, instead of Malvika going off to Singapore, they should have shown Anita as going off on a trip. Since the past-confession, her character has gone downhill. Let alone going to ex-wife and asking her for reason for divorce, she even fell for the ex-wife's fake charm and invited her for her daughter's engagement. That is too much. That is when they started showing her as plain dumb, and it went from bad to worse since then...

I don't know, if I am turning into sadist, but I am actually enjoying the episodes. Rather after Shreya's entry and before the past revelation, things had become a bit boring for me ! But now, if I turn a blind eye to the bloopers, I am really enjoying the rest of it. Specially the performances by most of the actors. And Ananya, I'll prefer to ignore her for a while. And to be very true, Anita was always an irrational character for me, who lived a lie for 8 yrs and made her family do so, inspite of knowing the truth and is now allowing Ananya to fulfil her kartavya as a daughter, caring a damn about her life. Kabir requested her to ask him about his past and she landed up at Shreya's house for the same ! She's been plain silly all the while !


No, you are not being a sadist. I agree with what you say. Initially they started with Shreya as the vamp/villian and then introduced RG as the villian. It could easily have been either/or. With RGs entry, Shreya's character doesn't make sense. While they figured out what to do next, they dragged the story for a while with Ananya's tantrums and over stretching the past. Anita's character has been butchered beyond redemption.

So I guess I made a wise decision of stop watching this serial. Not bothering abt who did what, when, how, why - logically, illogically, rationally, irrationally, stupidly or naively!😆

For me the very essence of the story got washed up with revelation of truth behind SK's death mystery and Kabir's involvement in it. If this was the main plot of the story, thy handled it really badly. Either tht or this plot was a pretty bad patch up work.
And now it looks like nothing is making any sense in this serial anymore!😆😆😆
Thy shudnt have stretched it. Thy shud've ended with 100 epis.😳
p.s.: And as I feared thy sacrificed heroine's brains to glorify the "star" "ladies hot favorite" hero to gain the sympathy points.😃
A lot was good and refreshing in the serial, bt in the end it all went down the drain!😳


I appreciate you for calling off a habit, which is not easy thing to do. I do think about quitting, but have not been able to. Main things which stop me are; 1) This is the only show I am watching. 2) It is limited episodes and it will end anyway.

I think the best part of "Reporters" was till confession. Afterwards we mainly got a tantrum throwing kid Ananya and her nanny Kabir. I thought, situation would improve after Sudhir Kashyap case, but even during climax, the story is not gripping. Can't figure out, what went wrong. Did the team loose their morale, when they did not get the desired result for their fantastic effort? Current episodes do not look like they are well planned.

Actually, the good and refreshing serial might come back in the remaining three weeks. I am sitll hopeful. Guess, you can consider watching the remaining episodes.

Yes. They handled the whole SK murder revelation track very very badly. It was a pretty bad patch up job. I agree. They should have edited and ended the show properly. Thanks to this out-of-the-way twist, they made mince meat of Ananya and Anita's character over the last two weeks.

But, way I look at it, things are back to where they were before that patch-up job happened. So I am hopeful that they can redeem the show now...

😊😊


Okay I will stick to my decision of watching remaining epis at one go after the serial finishes. I think then I would be better able to appreciate this serial.😆 I am done with all the hoping thing with it.😆

For now it's agent raghav😎

Yep, the team changed or they changed their approach to the show.
The reopening of SK track was always in the cards, RG as KKN's new sponsor was previously planned as well but Kabir witnessing SK's murder was a last minute change. this twist and Ananya's OTT behaviour completely derailed the show. that being said, I'm still enjoying it because of the fast paced nature of the episodes and the execution. writers may not succeed in logical tracks but they excel at execution, which has been the saving grace of the recent episodes.


I don't think Reporters can be so bad that I have to leave it midway. Sometimes I want to be entertained, and this show is doing a good job.

I wasn't satisfied with sk,'s plot from the moment kabir revealed it as suicide. Ananya not following it further kabir not bothered abt it till end, and him letting shreya play ananya with sk card knowing wat she did to tarini was all a bit too hard to digest.

If sk was main plot of this story it shud've run parallel to thr love story. Tht wudve made story gripping and believable.

This sudden illogical plots are so not like a crisp limited serirs.

I guess poor trps demotivated thm or the proper story was never in place from the beginning.


Wen I look back it cudve been so much better.

If I had to go for a serial based on execution I wud definitely go for those supernatural series at I don't try and find logic thr and it provides hilarious entertainment too!

I guess my losing the interest in the show after a mini brk helped me dump it and thn this full vacation helped me to get over it completely. Now I can wait comfortably till it ends.

You summed it up perfectly.

Thank god they stayed true to their own template of not prolonging any track for more than ten episodes.

I strongly feel from today the story will come back to the original track where they left off before going off on the wild OTT trip. That is sure to bring back the essence of the show...

you are right, reporters could have been much better but in order for that to happen, they needed to restructure the entire story. Here is what could have made it better.

1) from episode 1-50 the overall plot would be the same, only difference, Ananya would already know SK commited suicide. however, she always had a nagging feeling he was murdered but could not investigate further because she was a junior reporter without any resources. Besides all the evidence would be either destroyed or hidden in RG's encrypted Database. This would be much more believable than sitting around doing nothing for 8 years.

2) Instead of confessing in episode 50, Kabir realizes he is in love with Ananya but stays quiet Because he witnessed SK's murder then monu was kidnapped blah blah blah. This would make way for an EPIC dard wala love track, kabir pining for ananya but the guilt won't let him go anywhere near her. He starts giving her the cold shoulder, she thinks he hates her.

3) around episode 53/55, Ananya cannot bottle up her emotions anymore, confesses her love and in return Kabir tells her the brutal truth about her father's death. Then we would see the same story we are seeing now, only, ananya accusing him of such horrible things makes sense because their bond is not strong, she doesn't know him that well, and there is no trust. it would make sense and I would be less angry.CV's could have included drunk kabir, crashing his car, seeing ananya seeking comfort in Ronnie, being angry with himself for being so helpless and letting her down. basically the same things we saw before

4) Then comes the bomb track around episode 60, after seeing him risk his life to save her, Ananya starts asking the logical questions and goes up to him willingly to hear the full story. Kabir can then confess his love as well.

5) from here on, around episode 62 Kaya's official love story starts. Things will still be awkward at first but ananya will begin to fall in love with the flawed kabir and not the idealistic Hero. the next 10 episodes would be ananya falling for the real kabir, and we could see some cute scenes, dates, long drives as well as their growing comfort. around episode 71-72, RG can make an entry as KKN's new sponsor. Then Kaya can join forces to expose him. the show can then end with a proposal and an engagement.

obviously, My version is missing the details but I think with some polishing this would have the better version. the script is much tighter without uncessary episodes of tantrum throwing ananya. one of the biggest issue was that they added a lot of useless plotlines initially. I even crossed off tarini and shreya because Kabir's past is complicated enough without the bitchy ex wife and infidelity. Shreya has become a pointless vamp and tarini does not have a significant role, her exclusion would not effect the story.
