Things that really annoy you in tv shows

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

When Rando members of the public become part of the police and can go to suspects houses to talk to them.

Watching a show on Netflix. Woman goes back to old town after her parents are murdered and then a series of murders happen. She becomes buddy buddy with the local cop and then goes to all the interrogations, suspects homes, fucking joined them all in a rescue mission.

Drives me bonkers when they do this!

Not anything specific, more to do with how fast characters get over things or don't mention a really big life event once that part of the storyline has finished.

Oh yes this annoys me. Or how characters are incredibly close for years on a show, live together or go to each others weddings, on holiday together etc. Then one of them moves away and is never mentioned again. Not even a passing comment.

Dinner Date, when in the last ten minute section of the hour long show, the “chooser” chooses one of the three contenders to have a second date… the male or female comes to the door ready to go. No faffing around for a wallet, and I’ve never seen a handbag brought on a date.
I appreciate the programme organisers may pay for the restaurant date, but in the cases where they’ve gone on to have further drinks elsewhere, how do the couple pay for it, and where is their mobile phone etc?
Pure fantasy and not believable at all, don’t really know why I watch such crap, but I’m a sucker for a romantic happy ending.
Ps.. I agree that when a character moves out of a shared dwelling in secret, how the heck do you fit all your stuff (and organise it in five mins flat!) in one small case on wheels?

Uneaten food and drink.

They make a coffee or grab a bottle of water, and just leave it right there on the table!

On The Chase. "I'm Barry , I'm 57 and a retired postman from Liverpool " Barry comes up to the spot for his chat with Bradley Walsh. He says" Hi Barry, what do you do and where are you from? ".

Similar to this is on Pointless when Alexander Armstrong says “Hello Fred, tell us what you do and where you are from?” And Fred immediately replies “My name is Fred etc etc” It drives me scatty! Yes, we know you are Fred, Alexander has just said so and you’re also wearing a honking great name badge! On one show four people did that and I had to turn it off. 😤

People getting beaten up, and appearing soon after with nary a bruise.

@itsSunnyOutside, with you there, I particularly remember a few years back Joe from Eastenders having a brush with paranoid schizophrenia which lasted a fortnight

When a character is trying to tell another character something hugely important to the plotline eg: " I know X killed X". The conversation is constantly inreruppted, either by the person about to get the important news or other characters. Then, when the person about to receive the news finally says, " What was it you wanted to talk to me about?" the other character suddenly and inexplicably gets cold feet and makes up something trite like, "This meal is delicious"... The worst of all is when the character says, "Oh, nothing" or "It doesn't matter" and whoever they are with just accepts that! Grr, if it's that vitally important, you would just blurt it out!

This is more of a casting niggle but it really annoys me when there are flashbacks to when an adult character was a child but the child actor has completely different coloured eyes to the adult.

"You" is currently the example that annoys me the most but they did the same with Amelia/Amy Pond in Doctor Who.

I think you all need to start watching only documentaries.

Watching Gray's Anatomy and Mcdreamy wakes up with Meredith early morning and immediately starts talking a few inches from her face and then lots of kissing.

Yuk! Clean your teeth first, that's minging

Every programme seems to show couples snogging first thing using waking. Yuk 😷

*upon not using 🙄

*Oh and while I'm at it Death in Paradise.

If the detective gathers everyone together and tells them how he thinks the crime happened based partly on hearsay and his own theories. Would that stand up in a court of law?

I mean I love it but surely a good defence lawyer would tear that apart in minutes.*

Presumably because it's all hearsay/theory and any actual evidence is circumstantial at best and would no way stand up in court, so the detective has to illicit a confession (which also wouldn't stand up!)

I love it too, but only because it's so silly and cheesy

The awful far too dark hair dye that is the same colour used by mature actors who would naturally be grey.

Even worse when there are few characters sporting the same dye.

Sex scenes, they do the deed them just lay there or roll over and go to sleep. No clean up like in the real world!

Srx scènes where they don’t crab walk to the loo or have a soggy gusset in the morning @Roominmyhouse 🤣

@BiscuitLover3678

When teachers make up shit on a whiteboard and fluff around in a classroom then get home at 4... Was always 7 - 7 where I worked. Horrible environment.

I always thought this with Breaking Bad. How on earth did he find time for all that drug dealing while also teaching full time 🤣

@DockOTheBay

Judging by Jesse, who is the only one of his students we ever see, Walt wasn’t exactly the world’s best teacher 😂

The soaps Christmas/New Year weddings. Couple decides on December 3rd they’d like a Christmas or New Year’s Day wedding. Over the next three weeks they find a big venue (for the 9 people they end up inviting), a dress, florist and baker for the cake. No-one is ever told, are you kidding? This close to Christmas! We’re booked up till 2025…
