CID and changing theme

I'm from Pakistan, and as a kid, CID was one of my favorite shows. I loved its serious tone and realistic storylines. However, recently, I feel the show has taken a downturn. It has become more monotonous and relies heavily on comedy. I miss the intensity and the gripping narratives that made it stand out. I'm curious to know if you all feel the same way, or if you think this shift in theme is what the audience prefers now. What are your thoughts on this change?
