But objectively speaking, compared to many other shows on ITV, I think THR is still good. It is inevitable that all ITV shows lose quality after 6 months to 1 year, because all CVS only plan for one year's worth of content, after that it becomes repetitive, same track again and agian. I appreciate that THR wasting to do something different but, sadly when TRPs keep dropping and they need an exit strategy, they also utilize the same kidnapping and blackmailing tracks as well.
My biggest issue with this show is that I don't understand why they show negativity ALL THE TIME. I don't care if they are repetitive with kidnapping, blackmailing and MUs, because I know what expectations to have with an ITV show, but what I'm just shocked by is the fact that THR NEVER seems to show any positivity. A festival comes along, no family time or romance. Hardly any nok joks, just EXCESSIVE OTT drama and rona dhona.
All tracks seem to have good aspects to it. In the July 26th murder mystery track, I liked the fact that they resolved Malhar trust issues and showed Kalyani's trust issues. I LOVED 18 year old Malhar Rane. I liked the whole hostel track - he wanted what was best for her cause she was getting lost in playing this perfect bahu. I would have actually loved to see him actually send her to a hostel and then realize how much he missed her. They could have shown so many interesting concepts, but instead all the focus was on the stupid murder mystery that no one cared about and was SO SO boring.
Then this Rachit track, I was hopeful when the track started cause I really liked it. I liked Rachit, I thought he might be a friend or even if he was a guy that loved her, I think he should have been more normal, and a true competitor to Malhar. That way when Kalyani choose Malhar, he would have been sure that she actually wants him and it would have resolved his insecurities. Instead, they made Rachit into this BIG PSYCHO. Even if a pregnancy track was shown, I wish they were more normal about it. Maybe showed Kalyani worried how she was going to be a mom of two and handle college with her pregnancy. So many ways they could have shown realistic and positive tracks eveb admist serious problems, but instead, they show negativity and rona dhona.
