I feel I've gone a step too far with Loose Women. I thought I'd take that one to the grave with me!

PepperSteaks · 04/01/2019 21:23

Dynasty, the new one! I do not know another soul on this planet who watches it!

I've found you. My soul mates.

I can't/don't admit these ever. The only person who knows my dirty tv secrets is my husband. And now you.

I have so many, but a few particular 'highlights' of my list;
Ex on the Beach
Love Island
Keeping up with the Kardashians
Say Yes to the Dress (Atlanta is the best one, never the UK version)
Married at first sight USA
Riverdale
... I won't, but could go on

Mumshappy · 04/01/2019 21:27

I watched the Next Step and Victorious on Netflix by choice when dd was at school and ds was newborn. Loved it

ShatnersBassoon · 04/01/2019 21:28

Police Interceptors. I know all their nicknames, football teams, likes and dislikes...

MrsJayy · 04/01/2019 21:29

Oh first Dates is a joy to watch I love it.

Is Victorious the one with Ariana Grande? @Mumshappy

Is there something wrong with us! Aren't these shows meant for teens?

Atlanta SYTTD is the best Monte is camp redneck it is fabulous

EssentialHummus · 04/01/2019 21:32

Border Force (I think it's called) - AKA the Australian fruit confiscation show that's on one of the reality channels on weekends, 6-7pm. Every episode is either "dodgy looking young guy comes through customs looking stoned, whatever will happen next?" or "granny from Mumbai is found smuggling a mango in her holdall, what will they do?" but I am RIVETED! Grin

CajunShrimp · 04/01/2019 21:33

Oh my goodness. I think I AM you, OP. My tastes in TV basically haven’t matured since I discovered Dawson’s Creek as a teenager and I’m 34 now.

If you have Netflix there are some excellent movies on there which should fill the Gossip Girl hole when you finish. Try ‘all the boys I’ve loved before’, ‘the kissing booth’ and ‘Ibiza’.

Mummabear2212 · 04/01/2019 21:33

I teach in an FE college and the student demographic of my course is mainly 16-19 yr old girls. Little do they know, I could discuss their favourite tv shows in depth with them. They would look at me in a whole new light

Disfordarkchocolate · 04/01/2019 21:34

I like the fruit smugglers too. Apart from when it's really weird stuff from China. Some of it make me feel sick.

I watched Dawson's Creek even though I was late twenties Grin

ShatnersBassoon · 04/01/2019 21:35

Oh yes! The fruit and dried fish smugglers. Must start watching that again...

Border force is hilarious little Asian granny acting all innocent she knowsGrin

Ohdobakeoffdear · 04/01/2019 21:36

My list would be never ending! I’m mid thirties, professional.

I love:
Millionaire Matchmaker
Gossip Girl
Say Yes to the Dress
Love Island

And many many more. Crap tv helps me relax Grin

@mrsjayy. I to love stop search seize, especially when they do the red diesel checks. I live near the border and filling up with red and avoiding the checks is a pastime - there are WhatsApp groups that share red diesel check locations.

I’m highly amused by the American border force program with the gun toting, sun glass wearing, muscle drug enforcement border police officer - and then in Dublin airport you have Bruce seizing 200 fags of Sean back from 2 weeks in Magaluff!
