Dad’s Army wasn’t funny.

Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl is far and away the worst song ever written and played. It has really put me off going to Galway.

100% this.

It was recommended to me by a very old friend that I've known for years, we like the same things, have v similar senses of humour etc, so I was looking forward to it.

Hated it. Thought it was the most self-indulgent pile of MCWW 'oh no, my diamond shoes are too tight' crap I've ever seen.

Yes!! This

Unforgotten was so much better than Line of Duty.

I could never get into peaky Blinders despite trying a couple of times.

I love Naked Attraction

This morning needs new presenters holly and Phil have had their day. Ruth and rylan all the way!

AliceMcK · 08/09/2022 11:51

British TV is full of total and utter crap, all the idols, talent shows, strictly, Geordy shore, love island, made in Chelsea, seriously wtf is that about a bunch of rich entitled brats being paid to act like rush entitled brats, why do people watch it your just making that richer! Any kind of “I’m a celebrity” show, cooking and home makeover shows, shows about people on benefits, shows watching people watch fucking tv🙄 this list is endless…

Thank fuck for steaming services otherwise I’d never be able to watch tv.

KrystalStubbs · 08/09/2022 11:52

Sleepless in Seattle was the worst film ever made.

Joe Lycett and James Acaster are not at all funny, just irritating.

Mrs Brown's Boys is funny (at times)

Summerslam · 08/09/2022 11:55

All of Ed Sheeran's songs sound the same, no matter who sings them. Ditto Harry Styles.

I have officially turned into my dad because he used to say that about the music I liked 😂

stopitleaveitgetdown · 08/09/2022 11:57

I got 15 minutes into Harry Potter and The Lord of The Rings. Couldn't abide them. Don't know what the hype is about 🙄🙄

I liked the summer presenters much better I loved Rochelle and Vernon . Holly and Phill act like there is an "in" joke that the viewers are not allowed to know about , So smuggy smug !

The Masked Dancer. Why? Why? Why?

My husband and I have considered that it might be a money making enterprise. The washed up celebs pay £x (on a sliding scale) to be on the show and get their mugs on telly. Davina McCall would sell a kidney to be on telly, and the other judges are probably doing it for £50 a time. And think of the phone vote etc revenue. Wish I’d thought of it myself.

Iamthewombat · 08/09/2022 11:59

I loved Rochelle and Vernon

This might be the most unpopular opinion on the entire thread. Vernon Kay and that awful one from the Saturdays????

Mrsjayy · 08/09/2022 12:00

Yeah do I need to leave the thread now 😃

Zilla1 · 08/09/2022 12:00

Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings - if that is slash fiction then Voldemort better not find out. If it's a 9th book or 10th film then will need to see.

Dad’s Army wasn’t funny.

Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl is far and away the worst song ever written and played. It has really put me off going to Galway.

When that terrible song came out I sympathised enormously for any women and girls born in, or living in, the greater Galway area. Imagine being dogged by that bloody song for the next ten years.

PlattyJubes · 08/09/2022 12:01

Another one here who disliked Fleabag. Been told that I should try again and I 'm just not "getting it". Yes I do get it and I still hate it.

Another unpopular opinion is that I still like Friends and still find it funny.

I also wish that celebrities who involve their parents in programmes should not!! I couldn't give a flying what your mum or dad thinks.

On a roll now, Bridgerton was the biggest pile of shite and because I am a middle aged woman it doesn't mean that I should find it engrossing or "naughty". It seems that when anyone discusses it it's all nudge, nudge, wink, wink, pass the Prosecco 😡!!!

JOFFCV · 08/09/2022 12:04

Beyonce is overrated

I agree, I don't like many of her songs. Same with Adele.

PeskyRooks · 08/09/2022 12:04

Dirty dancing is a rubbish film
The Beatles and David Bowie aren't that good
I hate Pink Floyd
George Clooney Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio are not at all sexy

Bonjovispjs · 08/09/2022 12:06

Rosie Jones isn't at all funny.

Suetwo · 08/09/2022 12:07

The vast majority of comedians doing the rounds on TV are no funnier than an average bloke in the pub. They’ve just been lucky.

All the soaps are unwatchable.

University Challenge has dumbed down (why do they now have questions on football and hip hop and Ed Sheerhan for god’s sake?).

Real life documentaries are far more moving and interesting than the majority of TV dramas.

The BBC (and British TV generally) is mostly rubbish. They are far more interested in diversity than quality. They simply couldn’t make something like I Claudius or Brideshead Revisited today. If I watch anything now, it’s a DVD boxset. I can’t remember the last time I watched a BBC show.

CousinGregg · 08/09/2022 12:11

Olivia Coleman is the same in everything.

User2145738790 · 08/09/2022 12:12

That new show "Married At First Sight" has officially scraped the bottom of the barrel for tv . Scummy lowest of the low that came up with that premise.

Hey Duggee is shit.

Ross in Friends wasn't abusive (an unpopular opinion on MN)

I agree. He was by far my favourite and funniest character.

Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl is far and away the worst song ever written and played. It has really put me off going to Galway.

Worst thing about the song is the lazy lyric where he says 'met her in a pub on Grafton Street' when there aren't any pubs on Grafton Street.

The masked singer/dancer is the best thing on TV....I absolutely love it!

The Big Bang Theory isn’t funny or charming

It's downright offensive to autistic people.
