Mouni Roy in and as Naagin.

You wanted it, you asked for it and you got it. The country’s most beloved show, Naagin, is back on the telly and we are sure it will be as abysmal as ever, even in its third season.

The show, which airs on Saturday, is bringing not one but three new naagins and it would be quite prudent to expect thrice as many saaps, saperas, saas-es and senseless episodes. While Mouni Roy may have quit the show for bigger, better things—like a film with Akshay Kumar (Gold) and another with Ranbir Kapoor (Brahmastra)—we are right here, strapped into our seats, ready for yet another round of mind-numbing television.

The mantle of all things ridiculous will now fall on Anita Hassnandani, Karishma Tanna and Surbhi Jyoti. The promos do not bode well and we are sure the months to come will be nothing but easy.

Think we are exaggerating? To refresh your memory, and as a warning to what your mum will be watching every weekend starting tonight, here is series of scenes from the previous two seasons. Put on your swimming goggles for we are about to push you into a sludge of outrageous TV like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

The back story:

So Mouni and Adaa Khan used to be naagin babies to naagin and naag parents. Mommy and daddy were killed by some evil people who wanted to steal a naagmani from them. The baby naagins are orphaned but grow up to be hot with a stellar knowledge of human fashion scene. The lead naagin plans a revenge on the evil people by marrying their son.

The relentlessly horny husband:

No amount of ‘I have a headache’ excuses are enough to keep him away. He is clingy as hell and always bothering Shivanyaa when all she wants is to think about the naagmani.

The god-awful CGI:
