I agree with some of the points the post maker is making ... essentially, ITV leads are single layered... there is no complexity in characters just twisted plots and irrational tracks which then the lead characters are molded into...
For a consistent storyline and characters that are not as deep as puddles, ITV is not the place for it.. weh series is far superior writing.
I drop by ITV to enjoy the chemistry between leads frankly it’s like the teenager in me that grew up watching that ... 😛 But for good writing and really good shows I watch web series... I have now realized that ITV is dead when it comes to quality TV it is sort of meant to be enjoyed for what it is... soaps for brainless entertainment
We cannot look at ITV for social commentary, of course the regressive shows do reflect our society and probably is responsible in some way for making it worse, but I think we must not place ITV on any kind of responsible pedestal... we kinda should be embarrassed to watch it ... we must accept it as guilty pleasures... then we can be more realistic about its quality, messaging and influence
