I personally don't get the Big Bang Theory hype Confused

I'm sure however people feel the same about the shows I love Grin

ILiveInSalemsLot · 26/04/2019 20:33

I love most of the ones listed. I hate things like I’m a celebrity and most reality tv.

Mrs Brown's Boys
Game Of Thrones
Gogglebox (think that's the right name?)

JaneJeffer · 26/04/2019 21:02

Line of Duty is just another cop show. Watchable but not that great and Vicky McClure spends most of her time staring at the suspect in a really obvious way!

user1469530553 · 26/04/2019 21:03

Killing Eve
Fleabag
Pesky Blinders
Any reality show
Gogglebox
The Bodyguard

Shutuptodd · 26/04/2019 21:04

Afterlife I didn't even find it funny.

The big bang theory.

I haven't seen GOT kind of want to but cant afford to.

Reasonstobeearful · 26/04/2019 21:07

Any docusoap (love island, towie etc)
Strictly
X Factor/BGT
Mrs Brown - absolute shite
Fleabag
GoT (never seen though, it might be fab)

captainprincess · 26/04/2019 21:11

Show - Game of Thrones, just not my sort of thing!
Film - A Star is Born. I really wanted to like this after everyone was raving about it. But to be honest found it boring and wouldn't watch again (only reason I didn't turn off was because of Bradley!)

Letthemysterybe · 26/04/2019 21:16

I thought I was
The only one who didn’t like Game of Thrones, but I’m clearly not! I knew I wasn’t the only one to hate Mrs browns boys however.

Whatistheworldcominto · 26/04/2019 21:25

Game of Thrones, even the books.
James Bond, any of them.
Britain's got talent et Al - seems to be humiliation in public for entertainment. Especially the early rounds.
EastEnders - used to live in a similar place to where it's set - makes me cringe.

Geraniumpink · 26/04/2019 21:28

The Greatest Showman. I really disliked it. Everyone I know raved about it.

Funkyferret · 26/04/2019 21:35

I was too scared to post mine earlier but since there seems to be like-minded folks on here . . . Fleabag. Also can't get into Strictly Come Dancing (I even find the name a bit weird). Is Love Island worth my time - I just can't understand the concept of that either.

latenightcakes · 26/04/2019 21:36

Ditto Mrs Browns Boys and Luther.

MrsEricBana · 26/04/2019 21:39

GoT, Strictly, Greatest Showman
(LOVED ❤Fleabag❤)

MrsEricBana · 26/04/2019 21:40

Oh and DH likes something called the Good Doctor which I can't bear.

myhamsteratefreddiestarr · 26/04/2019 21:42

Mrs Browns Boys
GOT
Gogglebox

Unburnished · 26/04/2019 21:43

Fleabag. Ive now sat through two torturous episodes with her gurning at the camera. It’s not funny, witty or ground breaking.

Bake off. Fuck off more like. Stupendously dull.

Strictly. Dull, formulaic, pointless.

I only started watching Game of Thrones this year to see what all the hype was about and OH MY GOD IT’S AMAZING Grin
