To think that the worst part of growing up is realising that most TV is actually shitely done

I cant think of many programmes that are just well done all the way through

Most of them give GCSE drama - i swear I could write a better plot myself

People cling on to The Wire and Breaking Bad as most shows are just a mess (here's looking at you the last two seasons of Game of Thrones 🙄, and current Eastenders)

When i was a kid, in the 90s, I remember thinking that TV was so good! X Factor felt real, Eastenders was cracking, Bad Girls was super good.

Is it worse now (YANBU) or is this just adulthood (YABU)?

I love Severance on Apple TV, but it is pretty heavy (especially in season two). I also like Only Murders in the Building

You are spoilt now, so much to choose from. Trouble is we’ve seen it all before.

There's nothing that ive watched that feels fresh

Beef on netflix is good though

If you watch it back now, you would find some bad TV from the 90s. Especially EastEnders. Some stuff is very well done. I fought the law with Sheridan Smith was really good

Some of the stuff hasn't aged well on eastenders but it was defo better than today's 😪

Havent watched i fought the law But queen Sheridan is amazing im sure
