I have not watched any of the previous gens, so can't make a comparison between the gens. But the story line is definitely much worse and regressive than what I signed up for with toxicity and insensitive handling of sensitive subjects.

Having said that this gen leads for all the name calling they get subjected to seem to be the only lead couple across itv in current times who has consistently maintained for so long both online popularity as well as decent trp numbers. And for good or bad the gen has survived this long and beyond everyone's initial expectations. This is inspite of the fact that none of the cameos made any significant impact and got exit fairly quickly - unlike the previous gens. So yes inspite of all the complaints we are still here discussing the show, show is consistently in top 5, sm traction is strong .... makers and channel seem to be getting what they want.

Yup - EOD the makers and the channel are both getting what they want from the audience they want. The others are really not ones they bother much with

I think it is very simple..they protected the FL and made the ML do everything wrong to further the narrative..unlike in the previous gens ..so obviously his is the character that is the most damaged on the show …why the narrative choice is something only the creatives know

But this post is about the generation as a whole and not one single character ..whether he is better or worse than other MLs is not the topic of debate :)

For me this poor characterisation of ML which is the main force and protagonist destroyed the entire serial ...

That is why I say rest of the characters are as usual " patriarchy " , orthodox , aristocratic ML family looking down on poor & orphaned FL...This kind of stories have shown repeatedly but never seen an ML like this which made the entire season a " joke".Now a days it has turned " hilarious "
