Sometimes I wonder whether the fault in this show was showing the level of Meetwa's trust too early. Few ( actually many ) scenes from the first 100 episodes really makes the current Meetwa unbelievable. But there are also a few scenes that make the current Meety unbelievable too. The first writer and the director staying on would definitely have been the best. Then at least consistency would not have suffered so much.
Ashgun may not leave as they are the face of this show and have pledged their loyalties to this show and I guess whoever is still watching is actually watching for them and their acting prowess alone.
Storywise now at this stage here, its not just a matter of trust I believe. Its about expectations too.
I think earlier Meetwa had expectations too but they were limited. Now as he has progressed in his relationship, his expectations from her have increased tenfold... she is still giving in the relationship and he has become a bit selfish in the relationship. Meetwa too has given earlier when he supported her throughout the AH murder revelation and trying to find clues and then supporting her dream to become a police officer. But now, after the leap, he also expects more from her in this relationship which may or may not be justified depending on the situation. I dont say Meety is right always. She too takes the relationship for granted sometimes, although she does whatever she does for the good. Her expectations have also increased from Meetwa which may not be very visible. She sometimes expects him to understand her without her explaining. If Meetwa was on the verge of a breakdown regarding his dad being a possible murderer, then it means it affects him at a much much deeper level than any other situation and he is not that strong. Meety is stronger and believes Raj is not a murderer but did not wait to have another round of discussion with Meetwa. We may argue that Meetwa didnt believe her during Shanty case so what would have been the use of discussing with him now. But the fact still is she assumed that Meetwa wont be ready and just went ahead on her own. Meetwa too at first opportunity wants to cover up the evidence without sparing a thought for Meety and Meety's dad who suffered injustice. It was a kind of parallel where both of them dealt with their world crumbling down in different ways.
Both the leads can be shown flawed as long as the flaws are acknowledged and addressed. Without that, and with added negativity from all other quarters, unnecessary humiliation with no one standing up strongly against it and lack of story flow and logic, it becomes impossible to relate to any character.
This show definitely has moved completely into drama zone. Dont know how its going to progress. If they dont show regressive stuff like throwing wife out etc then the premise of this clash between Meet² may look a bit believable. Meetwa angry that Meety broke his trust and Meety firm that they should face the truth and try to uncover it. Angst lovers may like it too. But no faith in the scripting and direction anymore.
