Off-late, i figured that if I need to spend anytime with my mom, it means that I sit through some soaps with her - with endless patience, where she will only talk about the characters in the soap. My thoughts on what prime time soaps are using to run for the high TRPs:
- Extramarital affairs
- Pre-wedding pregnancy
- Martyr women
- Eloping
- Lies
- Dirty Politics
- Murdering people and then framing others
- Playing games
- Scheming, planning and plotting against the “good” people
- Crimes, crimes, crimes
Is
this a true reflection of our society? And is this what we are teaching our
kids who grow up watching these soaps?
