Ever watched a new show you love and no-one else has seen it?

I just started watching This Is Us this week and I’m completely hooked but no-one else I know has seen it or wants to see it. It’s rubbish when this happens and you want someone else to get excited about it with you. It was the same when I watched Fleabag and The End of the Fucking World. Ever had this happen to you?

Yes! Young sheldon! I thought it was brilliant!

Yesssss, I watched a brilliant show on Netflix called Elite, there's only 1 other person I know who has seen it. It is in Spanish, which is probably why it doesn't come up for most people, but there's subtitles or a dub. I really recommend it!!

No one's ever seen Blue Stone 42 and it was great

I was like this with Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I did convince a few people to watch it who also loved it. Perhaps my description of "it's a comedy drama that's a musical but not a shit musical" wasn't overly persuasive!

NandorTheRelentless · 23/12/2021 19:23

This is Us is awful

I tried so hard but just couldn't take to it

NutellaEllaElla · 23/12/2021 19:24

@Councilworker I was the same! Try Jane the Virgin if you haven't seen it already.

CaptainHammer · 23/12/2021 19:25

Yes! Currently with What We Do In The Shadows. No one I know likes it but it’s SO GOOD and I want to talk about it!

BingoLingFucker · 23/12/2021 19:27

I keep rewatching Schitt’s Creek, adult dd and other family refuse to watch it.
They don’t know what they’re missing!

Mommabear20 · 23/12/2021 19:27

Young Sheldon, Nurse Jackie and Versailles! DH won't even watch an episode with me 😭

rifling · 23/12/2021 19:29

Shtisel! Hands down the best thing I've watched in years but couldn't convince many people to try it.

@NutellaEllaElla my OH and I used to love Bluestone42. 😊

Boston Legal for me

Lennybenny · 23/12/2021 19:35

Yep. Yellowstone. It's on S4 in the states but S2 here when it's eventually on and half the UK have no idea it exists. One of the main characters is Kevin Costner...Wink

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 23/12/2021 19:37

@thefourgp I LOVE This Is Us, so there’s two of us at least 😁

Pinkstegosaurus · 23/12/2021 19:39

I’m obsessed with The Great on Amazon (about Catherine the Great) and no one apart from my parents are interested!

KirkstallAbbess · 23/12/2021 19:39

Love Elite and Crazy Ex Girlfriend 😊

Bimblybomeyelash · 23/12/2021 19:40

Better things. On iplayer. Watch it!!!

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 23/12/2021 19:41

Do you mean new to you? This is Us must be on about the 6th season now. I think it was originally on terrestrial TV but not everyone has Prime which limits the audience

Have a look in the TV topic, I know there are a lot of threads about it, i looked them up when I first stated watching it.

HelpMeFindMySparkle · 23/12/2021 19:48

I absolutely love crazy ex girlfriend

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/12/2021 19:49

I've been watching The Expanse for a few years and am completely absorbed by it and nobody else seems remotely interested.

None of my real life friends love Cobra kai, but that's what FB groups are for!

This is Us was a massive hot topic of discussion on here in the first lockdown
