The point is well made in the article, and I feel the same would happen with stories connected with India. Indian TV is such a clusterefk of bad content and lazy work that when the west would inevitably make a season on any of the countless things which happened in India, it'll be heads and shoulders above anything we could ever make today. And then the same "Oh, this is not the correct story" propoganda will be touted by people, gloriously oblivious to the great opportunity which they wasted by making mediocre me-too drama.
Also, Chernobyl is a great show!
