I've wondered how to vent my frustration about this particular issue for a while now. But as you must have figured out by now (if you regularly read up on me) that i'm a little challenged sometimes and my head doesn't function as it should. Hence kindly excuse.
There's this serial that is a part of Indian television called CID (which stands for Crime Investigation Department). It is on the lines of CSI and is a good watch...or I would say was a good watch.
When the serial started, about 10 years ago, it concentrated on solving crime; gathering evidence, processing it and finally finding the the perpetrator. Though the procedure was quite rural and not all sensible procedure was followed it was good. It was one of the first serials to have included forensic examination as part of crime solving technique.
But over the years i feel the production team has lost its mind. Instead of following lead with examples from CSI and similar formats, CID has become more of a laff riot. If i had the chance to express my frustration I'd say...'utter bullshit'
But since its a programme for family audience i will steer away from use slang.
Following the foot steps of the many inane soap sagas on television, CID has ended up being a show where the CID officers ridicule each other and don't let a chance to put the other one down. Quite like the vamp's on the idiot box.
It's boiled down to petty fights and loud voices when they need to behave like dignified professionals whose sole aim is to ensure that the city sleeps well and doesn't have criminals roaming the streets.
I've lost my respect for the serial and don't think I'll watch again. They had one true fan who was truly passionate about it and even went ahead to study forensics...
But i guess they don't care about the loss.
Burp! now that this is off my chest...it feels good.
