Ram and Sakshi's acting prowess sold it 100% and I just don't believe that Devo (and sorry, even NM) is up to that challenge. Those kinds of actors are very rare in ITV.
@bold 2 - I saw that too. Clearly reviving the show didn't work for them this time, and many fans feel like it ruined the memories of the first season for them as well. Same as with KRPKAB. I think, in general, if a story ends happily, then reviving/rebooting/bringing a second season of it is almost always going to result in disappointment. Because if you've told your in S1...then what else is there to say? You almost always have to create drama out of nothing in order to justify a second season. ITV's concept of 'seasons' has never really made sense to me, tbh.
