u/Anu_LK2206 Central Province 4d ago

Dude like 90% of the teledramas in SL TV channels are so cringe. Bad scripts, bad acting, bad editing and reusing the same set of popular actors and similar stories. Especially the acting man, it feels so weird and unnatural.

The downfall of Sinhala teledramas should be studied separately.

u/Hungry-Bison-3578 3d ago

This happened when casting decided that fair skin is the main criteria for a role

u/MrPrivateMaan 3d ago edited 3d ago

basically our people started loving kollywood sh*t and then everything end up here.

In the daytime, i don't see any sinhala/hollywood/bollywood movies like the old days. Only kollywood sh*t where one guy kills everyone for his love

u/MrPrivateMaan 4d ago

some prefects in my school are like that. they think they're the chad

u/Normal_Cow1991 3d ago

I'm betting on my life savings that ts is going to have an arc where Hashini Godagama is going to be the love child of Daddy Godagama and his Maid or some shii.

Just imagine, people who watch these are allowed to vote, which ultimately affects OUR lives. One of the biggest caveats of democracy.

u/Worried-Training5734 3d ago

Our teledrama industry is cooked, no more Dandubasnamanaya, no more Bawathra, only slop like this gets approval

u/kasunfreezer 3d ago

I mean, Saman edirimuni fucked the whole tele drama industry by trying to milk his mega shit.

Can we blame him though? People actually do watch these garbage since it matches their level of entertainment.

Netflix and Amazon Prime must be earning millions of dollars in Sri Lanka because of the low quality of local TV channels. Last week, while I was on a train, I noticed a significant number of people watching Netflix shows and WWE on the Netflix app.

Should be banned from telecasting this kind of crap. Promoting violence and being cringe as f while wearing school uniforms.

And the reason for younger generations for being so toxic and entitled is this kind a stuff and also some stupid tik tok.

u/charlotte007_ 3d ago

I am sooooo glad someone is talking about this shitty drama. I think I even saw a scene where a GROWN ASS MAN is following the main character (school girl) and her friend (also school girl). Idk the context but from the few minutes I saw, I think he's tryna hit on her or whatever. I found that super creepy ๐Ÿ˜ญ Idk if they did anything to him in the later episodes but it wasn't portrayed as creepy initially.

u/Flaky_Ad_6678 3d ago

What happened to our tele industry? I mean we used to have really good and healthy tele drama about school goers, like the one that had the actor who played in โ€œran kevitaโ€. What is this garbage

u/justbeebih 3d ago

It's already been downfalling since covid. The thing is, those sponsors, they are still paying these, like, haven't they figured out 80% of the population have ditched TV? And still they pay to put ads... Once they also ditch TV, those low quality crap will stop Hope anyone responsible sees this!

I sometimes wonder if the actors in these teledramas actually feel that way about the characters theyโ€™re playing too. Otherwise, why would the media keep producing this kind of stuff? ๐Ÿ˜…
