Watch the TV Series....

          In the last two month i have watched and followed a lot many variety of English TV series not because of keen interest but because of need. Some of them are a specific idea centric , some of them are a character centric and some of them are just for fun. But with all due respect the related episodes have one thing in common, and its the shuffling of relationships in a continuous manner. Some has this occurrence in a single blow and some has this idea in a very residual manner. The very idea is not to summarize the seasons i saw but to focus on the very fact how the series places itself to a position which becomes an addiction to the followers. Actually this addiction which is nothing but an wastage/utilization of time made me think over this idea very keenly.

        In a character-centric series people expect the involvement of the character with a relationship more than required. And what happens is the relationship break or vanishes due to multiple reasons and actions and here the Story becomes nothing but the drag and drop of various scenarios which supports the up and down of that relationship. In an idea centric series what i saw the idea of the team and the opinion of the team members play a very crucial role for the run and success of the series. Because in general the flow of the series always depends not much on the idea but on the conflict of opinions , race for position and sometimes building and breaking of relations. Not to say here, its very difficult to judge unless and until you see a lot of series in a row :)

      But I am totally confused on the idea of the relationships in Hindi series and the English ones. Interestingly in general hindi series always keeps the important idea of making up the relationships of the Hero. But in the other way  around the same thing matters to a very less extent - as in the central character can sleep with any number of girls even he is married or in a relationship. But it is not even little awkward for the spectators. Not because they are used to this idea but because this generation starts accepting the flow which they see in the western culture. I never denied they do not appreciate the great indian culture but the difference is between the ideology and the fact! Which means respect the book but follow the trends. The bridge between the theoretical thought and the practical deeds is yet missing. Its not a mistake, but a fact that everybody has accepted to keep them with.
