“Cringe-worthy” TV shows that teens may hate but the older generations seem to love!

The beauty of Indian television is that it keeps coming up with weird “cringe” content and people keep wanting more. It’s like a gift that keeps giving. Indian television has an audience for all sorts of content be it intellectual, dark or unusual. The “K” serials were a wave of change that had families glued to the TV for hours.

If you grew up watching some of the shows I am going to mention you will remember either waiting for it impulsively to start or get over and the absurdities and adrenaline these got us.

• Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi:  This one is legendary and hands down one of the most outlandish serials of all times. The idea that an extinguished Diya was death, several plastic surgeries or the immortal Baa the list of absurdities goes on. People followed it religiously and sobbed during scenes that were emotional.
• Sasural Simar Ka: Cringe level: 999, Annoying AF cast level: 999, Stupidity level: 9999. The storyline at one point was so ridiculously overboard that the protagonist Simar turns into a fly, yes, you read it right!
• Saath Nibhana Sathiya: You can’t mention cringe-worthy serials and not mention this one. This serial has consistently been trending meme material. From the infamous Gopi Bahu washing the laptop with soap and water to the stupid cooker stance.
• Naagin: This tops all charts of cringe and stupidity. Every damn episode is a masterpiece of bizarre. The serial is the epitome of irrelevant, senseless and unscientific which somehow unintentionally hilarious if you watch it. To top it all of it is on its fourth season. Because the world needs more seasons of over-loaded makeup, unconventional costumes, terrible music and graphic and most importantly absurd transitions into all possible animals.

Well, I can go on and on as there is no shortage of cringe-content on Indian television. It is painful yet hilarious and to be honest can have you addicted to binge-watch-cringe-content.
