@Anu - really? I could have sworn there were numerous articles at the time that this was Kiran Bedi's first venture into fiction π...maybe I was dreaming, lol.
I guess its the same old story with Ekta - whichever show is on top is the only one she cares about. But, as you say, the show needs focus so it doesn't fall into the cracks. Having said that, maybe we are being slightly premature since only one episode has actually aired π; who knows, Ekta could prove us all totally wrong and bring us the best and most sensitive, mature show she's ever done...um, yeah, I don't think so π
Kripa - I would say that there is still hope for the show and really it depends on what your motivation for watching is. For me its my favourite actor, so I can expend that much more energy to watch the show and tolerate the BS. Really its a personal choice, but as I say, maybe Ekta's got a trick or two up her sleeve...
