Friends_rock - I and probably most oft he forum agree with you-- this is just a show. But, given the theme of this show in particular, we all have a lot of views and opinions.
This is not so much an exercise in taking things seriously. It's examining our own opinions on topics that are relevant to us and sharing them with others to look at things in other ways. So really, I look at it as if we all were sitting together once in a while, sipping a drink, and talking about the things we saw and our opinions: how people and family should treat each other; the roles of women in India and other similar societies, wealth and poverty, love, etc. Again, these are things we enjoy talking about and stretching out scenarios (like above).
In some ways, it is no different than watching a play, movie, reading a magazine article or book. And I think we enjoy the serial more because we do talk about it.
