Killing Eve was lesbian soft porn/romance for straight women. And not as clever as it thought it was.

Stephen Fry is a pompous bellend.
Daniel Day Lewis usually overacts.
Neil Young sings like Kermit the Frog.
Suranne Jones was at her best in Corrie. Since then she’s been the same in everything.
Jenna Coleman is completely wooden.

I shamelessly and unironically love Marvel films and TV series, and think that most of them are far better in terms of storytelling than people give them credit for.

ShirleyJackson · 08/09/2022 12:28

Rome was misogynistic shite, even by the standards of the times depicted.

Fargo is upsetting, nasty and not remotely funny.

Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand were far too old to play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Same! They have been a fantastic bonding tool for me and my teen son. Going to see the latest marvel movie on the day it comes out is Our Thing and he always prioritises doing that with me Smile

Most TV shows are utter crap
Marvel should have stopped several films ago
Radio plays are just cringe

Hopefullysoon2022 · 08/09/2022 12:39

I think Ross is the best character in Friends.
Phoebe is the worst.

I would like to ban sex in tv shows/films. Suggestion of sex is fine but I have no need to watch someone move rhythmically up and down in a 'sexy' manner for 10 mins for no reason. Pornography does it better and is more easily avoided.

justaladyLOL · 08/09/2022 13:05

Any soap or dating or cooking or celebrity or reality tv
Inane shit targeted at morons
Any thing on the woke BBC

Hopefullysoon2022 · 08/09/2022 13:05

Lizzo is not the saviour of music.
Taylor Swift is so boring
Adele enough said about her.
Beyonce is over rated and not a good singer

Most of the music now like Ed,Adele, Taylor is very middle of the road.
It's the type of music my parents would have liked.

Lorraine...just why?

Sparklingbrook · 08/09/2022 13:38

Only Fools and Horses was meh. Del Boy falling through the bar was funny the very first time only.

Alicetheowl · 08/09/2022 14:44

I love Mrs Brown's Boys. I find it heartwarming and funny. Never got the animosity on MN towards Brendan O'Carroll playing a woman-no different to pantomime, and I don't know anybody in real life who would be offended. Brendan O'Carrolll even recorded an ad in favour of same sex mariage, so he's not exactly politically incorect.

YES! Whyyyy are radio plays so unrelentingly amateur?

RaininginDarling · 08/09/2022 15:12

Line of Duty: no, my belief is NOT suspended. Reads like a pimped out Bill episode. Bodies was amazing, LoD not so much. I cannot understand the love for this show.

bippityboppity87 · 08/09/2022 16:20

Oh gosh I have a few. Films/programmes I will never watch as it doesn't interest me in the slightest. In no particular order;

Sex in the city
Harry Potter
Game of Thrones
Fifty Shades of Grey
Top Gun
Fast and the Furious
Breaking Bad
Ozark
Soaps (all of them)
Love Island
Top Gear
Masked Singer/Dancer thing

Mrs Brown's Boys

I'm sure there's more

bippityboppity87 · 08/09/2022 16:23

@Enb76 I agree with this. 9/10 it's completely unnecessary and adds nothing to the plot. It's just annoying. I swear it never used to be that bad

chrystlha · 05/05/2023 00:26

Comedy on Radio 4 exists to keep liberal posh kids in jobs after the Edinburgh Fringe. They're not funny.

Marchintospring · 05/05/2023 00:33

Anybody whose mum, dad, uncles, aunts, or family have a career in media TV or film should be banned from appearing.
Work backstage with the amazing talents your family have.xx

mopeymouse · 05/05/2023 00:50

Bring back Bullseye, Name that tune, Generation Game, Price Is Right, 321, Play your cards

Breaking bad was amazing!
The Sopranos made me want to join the Mafia!
Moonknight was brilliant.

Stephen Mulhern needs to be removed from ALL tv shows ....

TheChosenTwo · 05/05/2023 00:56

Line of duty was absolutely shit. Only watched the first series, literally didn’t understand what was going on for the whole series, don’t get why it’s so hyped up.

two doors down is genius, Christine is me in 30 years time.

TheChosenTwo · 05/05/2023 00:57

Actually the two doors down thing is surely not an unpopular opinion, it’s just great!

Blueuggboots · 05/05/2023 01:25

A star is born is a shit film despite a couple of great songs.

Catsmere · 05/05/2023 01:31

Anne Rice’s vampire books were crap and deserved to have such stupid, wildly inaccurate films made from them.

Catsmere · 05/05/2023 01:34

Fargo is upsetting, nasty and not remotely funny.

Agree, I lasted maybe twenty minutes into it.
