Serial Killers

I tried, i really tried watching all these soap operas coming on television. I thought may be after watching them for 2-3 weeks i might find them interesting. But I cannot take it anymore. I realized that these serials are so pathetic that it actually makes me angry seeing all those stupid scenes. 90% of the time some one is crying. The remaining 10% even if people are laughing, its unbearable.
These days they seem to go back to old themes. Looks like they are totally out of ideas . One of the seriels have child marriage as their theme. Oh come on. I hear its one of the most popular serials these days. Some find it cute. I am sorry but i cannot digest that shit. First there is child marriage and then there is girl child issue. Even though the topic might be relevent but they make is unnecessarily complicated and dramatic that i feel like taking my eye balls off.
Most of the serials have one lady in the house who will be trying to create cracks in a happy family. And there will be another lady(heroine) whowill either be very weak or very smart. If she was weak in the initial episode, you can be sure that she will turn of super smart in the later episodes. People watching the serial would be waiting when her pathetic state changes. One more embarassing thing is that the guys are shown to be dumb asses.
Different themes have come up ( mostly pathetic). Some rajasthani culture ones, some jaadu mantar ones, one of them copies movie masoom etc etc. Worst part is most of them are sick to watch. Every serial has a huge family living is some huge bunglow. (thoda tho realistic banao yaar). And the pace of the scenes are like ooh my god... can you show whats going to happen. i cant see all that dragging of scenes with those irritating focuses on those pathetic characters.
Watching other language serials are no better. South indian ones are the worst. The women cry so much that i wonder if their life is pathetic or mine who is trying to watch them. I am wondering how any person can like those serials. But the reality is people love them. They watch them like anything. Looking at how much they are into the scene makes me even sick.
You might be wondering why do i even watch them when i dont like them. I dont have a choice these serials come at the time of lunch or dinner. Watching aajtak news would be less painful than these serials. Even mythological ones are similar to regular ones. Luckily i have broadband connection.

  1. Ha ha.. Yes, the serials have taken a nose dive in quality. I've never watched hindi serials but kannada serials were very gud esp in the first couple of years of the launch of the e-tv kannada channel. But now i notice that they are pathetic to the core and its definitely not because i now live outside the country for time being. I think the problem is there are too many channels now and hence the requirement of many soaps to fill in the schedule. I hope that atleast our generation women will not watch such serials and hence bring an end to our torture :-)
