TV shows boasting of high-end VFX

VFX-driven TV shows have always been liked by the audience regardless of their age. After all, why would anyone not like the idea of escaping from the real world and watching something which is possible only in the reel world? The trend of using visual effects in TV shows began with Ramanand Sagar’s superhit mythological show, Ramayan based on the life of Lord Rama.
