It's interesting but literally everyone is making me cringe. I hate cringe so much. I have to skim all the cringy parts.
Also the new mishpacha serial is cringe. Like I know people with communication issues but walking out on a spouse and leaving for hours with no communication?
The only people I've personally ever seen do that are people with personality disorders, abusive etc.
I think the reactions are EXAGGERATED and that's what's making me cringe. The couple problems are realistic though

He intentionally doesn't focus much on developing the women characters and won't either have physical descriptions. It's his personal geder for tznius reasons.

I think it's improper for others to debate someone's personal hakpados that are done for the purest of intentions and don't harm anyone else's life.

You like that about a story? That'll hearten writers everywhere.
I keep thinking, where's his mentor? Where's the administrator who has to worry about damage control with his parents?

But yeah, both these young couples have dysfunctional marriage relationships and a total lack of communication. What does that say about the generation (or about Mishpacha's writers and editors)? |
It says more about what people want to read. Many of the writers are doing it skillfully. But it's what makes the rest of turn to historical fiction.

I just want to stress, these writers are pretty skilled at what they do. I personally am not finding these stories (so many, not just these) compelling.
I'm going to say something and I'm NOT calling out the authors of these particular serials, who I like a lot.
It's like out there music. It's one thing when you have someone who comes from that world and is now integrating his (her) former life into his new one. There's something authentic there and stories that the performers want to tell. (I really like Diaspora, Moshe Yess, Piamentas.)
But then you have people who have no shaichus to that world who think, whoa, this is selling. I'm gonna do it.
So I wonder about some of the authors: Are they telling stories they feel need to be told, or stories that the public will lap up? And are the magazines asking them to tell those stories or giving them latitude?
Again, general question because it's in many magazines that carry serials.

Nah, let him write. It's good to read competent writing. But this does give me pause. I have some questions I'm not going to ask here because I don't want to criticize specific writers.

Can you factor in, but is still so much better than others?

First of all-you may be surprised by some of the backgrounds of the writers. Second of all this particular serial seems to be written from a place of knowledge, I think the author lives there.

I'm not calling out this writer and this serial.
I just wonder, can someone come up with something contemporary but different? Not a soap opera? I do like the premise of the new Binah serial, the woman who has one year to live. And Esther Kurtz always has something different and interesting, like the classical music angle. The podcasts thing is fun (though that reminds me of a satire in one of the magazines about the woman who followed every single podcast/class she heard).
