📡 Prime Time Drama: Same Old or Something New?

🔍 What’s Changing?

Shorter episodes, stronger plots

Realistic women characters

Better cinematography

New-age platforms like SonyLIV & ZEE5 are producing solid, sensible shows

But the daily soap format is still stuck in time. A single gunshot still takes 3 episodes to land!

Final Take:

TV might not be dead, but it’s definitely confused. Still, a few creators are finally giving us content worth watching — without rolling eyes 7 times per scene.
