This is a very important show for India. For years, in fact as far back as memory serves me, India has only coughed out cringe worthy shows, and a bunch of young people at TVF decided to do something about it.

The best thing about this mini series is that you don't have to pretend it's "good enough". It truly is good, in a thoroughly artistic way. It's funny, emotional, earthy, well scripted, well edited, well directed, tight, controlled, flowing at just the right pace.

In short, it achieves excellence, a word used commonly in India without much connect to reality. This series is excellent, and I use the word very sparingly. For me, excellence has only been used once before in television, with The Wire.

That said, the subtitling can use some help, it's good, but could be better. And TVF should pay attention to subtitling, given that non-Indian viewers are more likely to watch Pitchers than Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki.

But these minor criticisms should take nothing away from what has been created here - a show that lifts Indian TV from the cesspool of Saas-Bahu theme and elevates it into something truly world class.

Proud of these boys. Keep up the good work.
