Mine, because I finally got around to watching it this weekend, Hamilton is all that great.(though I do have the dadadaaadadaaa chorus from the king’s song in my head)
So come on, those sacred cows of film and tv, why don’t you like them?
Oh yeah, the Beatles. The Kinks were better.

Emilia Clarke is like some wind up robotic doll with state school jazz hands in Me Before You.
Watched it on Saturday, didn't have a clue who she was, googled her, will avoid in future.

I'd rather not listen to music than listen to either Coldplay or Ed Sheeran.

Nigel Slater is a beautiful writer. He should stick to the books because he comes across as Mr Smug of Smugsville on telly. "Oh, here's a sliver left of a £45 lump of hand reared cheddar I just happen to have". He also pauses in the wrong place when he talks and now I've told you that you'll spot it every time and hate me

Gavin and Stacey themselves, the two if them were rubbish. The rest of the cast were magnificent even JC.

The worst main actor in HP is HP. That Ginny Weasley and Cho Chang have the acting skills of a bathmat isn't an unpopular opinion, it's a fact.

Ant McPartlin didn't/doesn't deserve any sympathy or understanding for his drink driving and should have been out of the public eye.

Quentin Tarantino's movies are really bad except Kill Bill.

Lots of the newer Hollywood actors are just generic white brunettes and I can hardly separate them.

I don't generally like musical theatre, find it excruciatingly embarrassing. Some of the songs are delightful and I always get the impression those who perform in that genre enjoy it tremendously; however leaping about in the street or wherever, singing, makes me cringe. Think 'Oliver'. I blush just thinking about it.

Music, including singing, is something I do enjoy and love opera, it is just musicals I hate with a couple of exceptions.

Insaneinthemembury · 12/10/2020 14:22

I dont get Harry Potter or Game of Thrones

Ed Sheeran's songs are boring and the lyrics uninspiring nonsense just made to sell records.

In fact I agree with a PP, I dont really like box sets or films full stop. I get very bored!

K00kiEe · 12/10/2020 14:25

Friends was crap, I absolutely loathed it.

bluedelphinium · 12/10/2020 14:28

Now, I think Beyonce is talented and technically can really sing. However, I don't particularly like her voice and I find some of her songs a bit drivelly.

AriesTheRam · 12/10/2020 14:34

jeremy Clarkson is underrated.We love him in our house.

fartedinmybrain · 12/10/2020 14:46

Any "celebrity" TV show
Any reality TV show wannabes
James Corden
Coldplay
Books that top bestsellers are usually way overrated.
Ant or Dec
Casablanca
Red wine
Coffee wankers-
Self appointed experts

BorderlineHappy · 12/10/2020 15:19

Heath Ledger cant act.
He only got the Oscar cause he died.I didnt like his Joker.

I love Ross from Friends,to me he was the best character.

All Mariah Carey songs sound the same.

InTheVelvetDarkness · 12/10/2020 15:32

Can’t stand BGT mostly because of the judges though

Hate mrs Browns Boys - most unfunny thing on TV

IrmaFayLear · 12/10/2020 15:43

Tiger King - he was a character but that was about it.

Selling Sunset - watched five minutes because everyone was raving about it but it was utterly fake and stiltedly scripted.

Normal People - er, why is this popular with anyone except middle brow 20-somethings?

SoPanny · 12/10/2020 15:44

Amy Schumer isn’t funny.

Bunnybigears · 12/10/2020 15:46

Mrs Brown's Boys is a pile of poo.

slipperywhensparticus · 12/10/2020 15:55

Greta should go to school and stop kvetching she just comes across as a spoilt brat (there is a teenager in Ireland I believe who has come up with a way of filtering plastic out the ocean without damaging wildlife which we should be doing not listening to her moaning)

The greatest show is not so great

Fizbosshoes · 12/10/2020 15:58

I've never read or seen Harry potter or game of thrones.
me either....and I dont feel like I'm missing out.
I didnt find friends funny when it first came out and I still don't
I didnt find the office that funny.

Totally agree with Selling Sunset - what a lot of fake crap plus nothing new , that same format was doing a decade ago with the Hills etc

And the normal people - I couldn’t watch it as the actors were so massively over school age - they looked ridiculous playing school kids , he has wrinkles and frown lines etc.

Holothane · 12/10/2020 16:42

Comedy,
Reality shows unless medical
Queen
John lennnon
Marc Bolon ponce rude twat
Paul McCartney up his own arse
Rom coms
Ant and dec

Floralnomad · 12/10/2020 16:48

Probably all already been mentioned but for me :
John Lennon and Paul McCartney both overrated the most talented Beatle was George Harrison
The Office is not funny , infact Ricky Gervais is not funny
Hamilton and Wicked are both boring
The Harry Potter studios tour needs some rides to liven it up .

EspressoX10 · 12/10/2020 16:50

I'm still in shock about "Mamma Mia".

The acting is so excruciating it gives me second hand embarrassment.

WellGoshDarnIt · 12/10/2020 16:51

Yes to getting rid of Ant and Dec. The drink driving was bad enough, but the way he treated his wife during their separation gave me the absolute rage. That thing with the dog??? He refused point blank to let her keep the dog, insisting they had to 'share' him. Never mind that that he'd broken her heart and publicly humiliated her. Never mind that his bit on the side already has a couple of dogs. Just let her keep the dog, you controlling arsehole!!

On a similar vein, this years' final of Britain's Got Talent was truly one of the worst things I've ever seen on TV in my life. Just excruciating. Boring magicians, unfunny 'comedians'. Sadly DD insisted on watching to the end. Thank god the cast of Les Mis etc turned up to make it slightly more bearable.

Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 16:52

I think John Lennon was a bit of a knob ! Also Keith lemon I don't get the joke I used to like Bo selecta but Keith lemon I just don't get it and he is the itv darlingHmm

MJMG2015 · 12/10/2020 16:56

BGT
VOICES(?)
X factor
Etc

Any of the 'reality'

Essex
Geordie
Chelsea
Love island

Type stuff.

Love lots listed already though! 🤣

AlternativePerspective · 12/10/2020 17:06

All reality TV should be banned.

Amy winehouse was shit, and to much was made of her. She was an over-hyped junky.

AuntieDolly · 12/10/2020 17:06

I HATE Top Gear. There, I've said it.

burnoutbabe · 12/10/2020 17:07

@Bunnybigears

Mrs Brown's Boys is a pile of poo.
is there anyone who publicly disagrees with that one?
