Outside horror, mainstream cinema struggles. Romantic dramas ( Dilan 1990 series) succeed on nostalgia and star power but are often criticized for shallow writing and glorifying toxic relationships. Meanwhile, television remains stuck in a sinetron (soap opera) rut: amnesia, evil twin, rich-poor family feuds, and exaggerated slapstick. These daily soaps dominate primetime but are universally derided by younger, educated viewers as brain-rotting content.
