Every time I visit India, my parents are watching a new Tamil soap that looks exactly the same as the previous one afaict. It's always a story about an extended family that stands around saying apparently shocking things to each other, eliciting dramatic reaction shots.

I can follow along just well enough to tell that it's always utterly tedious interpersonal drama and intrigue among people who apparently have no real lives.

These things go on for hundreds of episodes, but air multiple times a week, so they wrap in a few years. Cheap to produce. You just need a house and a bunch of people capable of overacting and over-reacting. Occasional slaps and shit.
