Why TV Serials are so boring ?

I have been watching some TV Serials.Frankly speaking after  watching some- I got bored !All serials seem to have- more or less- same situations- same predicaments, and almost same  stratagies !

It was probably a Sunday morning adda that we were having at the  cabin when suddenly Bhoja (a local) came rushing towards us. He  seemed quite exited and within few minutes gave us the information  that he was dying to give ! The information- in short- was that police raided a nearby Company and sealed it. The company was probably dealing with illegal baby
