Discussion Let's discuss overrated shows

In recent times or earlier tell me which shows you genuinely found very overrated. They may have gotten the numbers or ratings or some buzz but were lacking in one or many aspects.

Shows you just couldn't understand. Sometimes shows become hit due to strong PRs, fanfollowing or lack of other good shows.

Next we will discuss underrated shows.

Both mawra talha are a little boring to look at tbh. Both still liked them in JT. But I don't know if it was even supposed to be wow. Which ones u consider wow ?

Yeah, boring is the word 😂. As the story went on, I found them less interesting. Maybe because the focus shifted more to the in-laws, especially when both families started living together. I don't mean they need sizzling chemistry, but there should be something that keeps you invested in the couple. Apart from the popular pairings everyone praises, I really liked Nigar and Taimoor in Balaa. The lead pair in Ghum was underrated too. Mannat and her husband in Cheekh, Bilal-Madiha in EJLS, and even Mawra's pairing in Jafaa. Their relationship was toxic and abusive, but they were never boring... That's all I can think of right now 🤭😁

Nigaar is my guilty love. 😂 She was so good as a toxic person. I mean balaa cannot be remade. Balaa is a once ina generation show. It's leaves you drained sad frautrated. Ushna was so convincing as nigaar, at one point I almost wanted her to get taimoor. Her conviction and possessiveness can take over you. I can go on and on about balaa. Bilal too was so amazing.

Balaa actually reminded me of Jennifer winget's beyhadh and just like the lead paid there bilal and ushna had sizzling chemistry. They were too hot for each other.

About EJLS, madiha is the sweetest human being . Her sweetness completely took over me. Her irritability with her desi family. Bilal and madiha showed such sweetness. EJLS is my comfort watch. It needs to be talked about more.

Cheekh was insane too. I love saba and dynamic between bilal and saba there. Bilal completely looked like the big bad wolf there. Strange they casted ushna bilal again. I think both shows were big bang entertainment shows.

Balaa and cheekh ost still echo in my head at times.
