What is wrong with our dramas lately??
RANT AHEAD⚠️
Contrary to the title, there’s almost always something wrong with our dramas but recently I’ve noticed that the ones that are currently on air have been dragged to death and still show no signs of ending any time soon. They will either end very abruptly like-one fine morning you wake up and see a promo for the second last episode or channels will still take their sweet aah time and drag them more. And I make this post because this is common of Geo shows and they continue with their legacy with Humrahi that seems like it’ll never end but now ARY and Hum seem to be following the same direction with BTSH and Zanjeerein. Both shows have completed 30 episodes yet the story is stuck in the same place. Had high hopes from Zanjeerein to be an action packed high voltage drama but there’s only been a handful of episodes that delivered. It took 30 eps for SB and Rabiya to get married when this could’ve happened a lot sooner if only they’d picked up the pace and the drama should’ve been done by now. And we still don’t know where Bano’s body is, what Sohrab did with it, when will SB find out what truly happened, when and how Rabiya will expose Shireen or if Shireen gets caught some other way. So many questions. Something I always admired about Hum and ARY shows was that despite some issues with story and execution, they usually got done with their shows in 25-30 episodes (with ARY sometimes going up to 34-35 even but with those shows you can tell these will end soon, they’re just milking trps by dragging scenes unnecessarily but their current one doesn’t seem to show any of those signs). That brings me to BTSH which seems to be going in circles too. Anas won’t reveal Shayan’s name because of dada’s stupid qasam and the rest of the family still hates him so where exactly is this story going considering he still hasn’t grown a spine except for a few rare occasions and he probably won’t take Shayan’s name even after dada passes. So what’s happening and what even is the point? If Ansa’s going to find out some other way, it should’ve happened like 10 episodes ago as the whole show should’ve been done with like 5 episodes or more ago.
