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?

Fauda is superb

Israel / Pakistan fighting - very tense and good

SickAndTiredAgain · 23/12/2021 19:53

When I saw your thread title I thought of This Is Us.

I’ve just started season 4

KloppKrazy · 23/12/2021 19:53

Years ago I was asking my workmates if they caught the new US programme Friends. They hadn't.

Interested in this thread?

@DartmoorChef
I'll be starting a thread, I'm soooo excited Xmas Grin

NewlyJingle2021 · 23/12/2021 19:56

Yellowjackets and Mrs Fletcher on Now. Also Harlem which I think is Prime. All really good but nobody I know watches anything I like!

Justcashnosweets · 23/12/2021 19:57

The Boys. I've yet to meet another person who has actually watched it, never mind liked it. Its such a brilliant show aswell!

mycatthinksshesatiger · 23/12/2021 20:10

I loved Shtisel SO much so glad to find someone else on here who watched it, as no-one else ever seems to have heard of it. Hands down best thing I've ever watched.

Also loved Unorthodox, the Marvellous Mrs Maisel and The Americans and again no-one I know watches thosr.

@NutellaEllaElla

No one's ever seen Blue Stone 42 and it was great
Wasn't it just!! Can't believe they didn't do another series.
thefourgp · 23/12/2021 20:18

I must have missed the chats about it last year. I’d never heard of This Is Us until this week. Cobra Kai is good and The Boys is truly brilliant. Can’t wait for the new series.

@rifling

Shtisel! Hands down the best thing I've watched in years but couldn't convince many people to try it.
@rifling, I LOVED it!
Larryyourwaiter · 23/12/2021 20:29

Southland and The Servant

I have also loved The Boys and Nurse Jackie.

dayswithaY · 23/12/2021 20:33

I was hooked on Scandal - no one had even heard of it.

Now I love Insecure which again gets me blank looks. Interestingly, Kerry Washington (star of Scandal) produces Insecure.

Also enjoying American Rust.

KilljoysDutch · 23/12/2021 20:45

The Boys and Yellowjackets are both amazing. I'm so excited for season 3 of The Boys after that amazing ending to season 2 (I can do whatever I want Grin ) and Yellowjackets has just been renewed for a second season which I'm not sure how I feel about.

LadyCatStark · 23/12/2021 20:48

@slowtik

Yes! Young sheldon! I thought it was brilliant!
Same!

@Fatgalslim massive Boston legal fans in this house. Love Denny and Alan's bond and Alan's closings.

Fastforwardtospring · 23/12/2021 20:52

@thefourgp @TwoBigNoisyBoys I’m another This is Us fan!

Amortentia · 23/12/2021 20:56

The Cleaner, on BBC iPlayer. Found it by accident and it’s very funny, but I haven’t heard anyone else mention it or seen any promotions for it.

TokyoSushi · 23/12/2021 20:56

I started This is Us yesterday, I'm on episode 5, I LOVE it!!!

OldWivesTale · 23/12/2021 20:59

Yes, Ladhood. Love it but nobody else has seen it.

elQuintoConyo · 23/12/2021 20:59

About 15 years old now, but a legal show called The Guardian with Simon Baker - pre-Mentalist. Excellent. Man, he was hot and a big ol'meany Grin

The Boys is astounding, best thing on TV for years.

The Americans was excellent, so sad.

I've got Spanish terrestrial TV and Spanish Prime, so many things mentioned I've missed. I'd love to see Schitt's Creek, I love Catherine O'Hara.

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar

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

My shows are:

Justified and Leverage.

CurbsideProphet · 23/12/2021 21:05

I love This Is Us 🙂
For me it's Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I don't know anyone who watches it. Not surprising really as ch4 moved it to 1am to make room in the schedule for Naked Attraction and Made In Chelsea...

mumofEandE · 23/12/2021 21:07

Yes, a few years ago 'The Middle'
