Going by this thread, my unpopular opinion is that Ed Sheeran is amazing.

New album out today and new documentary on Disney+ for those with great taste. 😉

Didn’t get into either Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.

Off topic but Strawberries should never be mixed with chocolate.

Films with men punching each other for long periods are yawn fests.

Life seems to imitate art so perhaps all the many films about the occupants of the White House/police (in the US) being corrupt foreshadowed events because they were hiding in plain sight

Love LBC (especially Nick Ferrari)

Adele is overrated. Very depressing music and all the songs sound the same

Holly Willoughby makes me cringe.

ALongHardWinter · 05/05/2023 19:22

I never liked the Spooks series, although everyone else seemed to love it. Also,can't stand Master Chef. Just poncy elaborate food. I mean,really? Does anyone actually go to all that trouble?

JackieQueen · 05/05/2023 19:29

Olivia Coleman and Sheridan Smith are overrated
Can't stand Paul McCartney
Can't stand Imagine by John lennon

Hopefullysoon2022 · 05/05/2023 19:33

I could never stand Robin Williams.
He just took over everything.
Tom Hanks plays Tom Hanks.
Olivia Colman is just so boring and bland.

Love is all around - wet wet wet is absolutely awful

the Smurfs version is better

muuummypig · 05/05/2023 20:11

Jeremy Kyle was good morning TV and I was gutted it was cancelled just as I started maternity leave

Friends is not funny

BGT needs to stop

Peppa Pig is enjoyable

Beyoncé and Adele are overrated

Jimmy Carr is rude, not funny

Jam goes on the scone (that rhymes with 'gone') before the cream

I wish Jeremy Kyle was still on itv in the mornings!

Yes!

Mogginsthemog · 05/05/2023 20:15

Marian Keyes is overrated as an author.

One Day the film is better than the book.
The Shopaholic film is better than the book.

CoronationWombleSandwiches · 05/05/2023 20:19

I quite like Yoko Ono.

Bukhara · Today 17:49

...tried out a whole bunch of other Irish placenames first, including Clonakilty...

Damn! Now I fancy some black pudding!

ALongHardWinter · 05/05/2023 21:22

I can't stand Harry Potter,the books or the films. Although I do admire JK for speaking her mind. Also,I think ,Ed Sheeran,Beyonce,Adele and Taylor Swift are all vastly overrated,yet people rave about them. Gets on my wick the way Ed Sheeran seems to get himself involved with any of the big events that go on in the UK. And I can't stand shows like Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity.

cheapskatemum · 05/05/2023 22:47

After the 1st 3 Harry Potter books, the rest need editing. They're too long & waffle on.

superoz · 05/05/2023 22:54

Oasis’s only decent album was their first - Definitely Maybe, everything else was crap after that and they are overrated.

Mookie81 · 05/05/2023 18:47

Here's mine- Michael Gambon is a much better Dumbledore. For me, he embodies the character.

Yesss! I thought he was much better.

Catsmere · 06/05/2023 00:00

I couldn’t stand the Cormoran Strike books. Managed to get halfway through the first. Couldn’t give a damn about any of the characters. Boring and confusing.

Catsmere · 06/05/2023 01:15

If I’d had to start with Colour of Magic I’d never have read any other Discworld books.

madamepresident · 06/05/2023 01:23

Breaking bad is rubbish - I've tried 5 times to watch it and it's just Meh
Reality TV is just pointless and I hate it
Tv / films should be for entertainment- not everything had to have a "message"

Catsmere · 06/05/2023 01:33

Vera was spoiled by its stupid PC plots - every other episode a woman serial killer and rural Northumberland’s population mix looks like London or some other urban centre.

Makingamess4212 · 06/05/2023 01:37

Producers know their series or film is a pile of sh*t, but they think that adding porn level sex scenes will immediately fix it.
The best TV is still off years ago, with no sex. Now, you can't get through an episode without having your eyes violated. Unnecessary.

Whochangedmynamec · 06/05/2023 08:56

Anything with a spaceship is a no.

In real life I don’t judge anyone- because I save it for judging fictional characters in movies. So you, a lone wolf, angry at the loss of your wife yo the Cartel, decide to take them on alone and now, as you lay shot and bleeding out, want some sympathy. You’re an idiot and your stupid macho pride got you here. How many braincells do you have???

Similarly, people doing high- risk dangerous things because of pride/vanity/ because the producer thinks it will make a good shot. No sympathy here.

Miley Cyrus- you, whilst married, decided to tell the world you were gay, and that you loved smoking large quantities of weed and getting shitfaced and now you want sympathy and “you didn’t walk away”. How is declaring you are gay NOT walking away from your marriage. Glad you have a subscription with Interflora but FFS you are the asshole in that relationship. Just own it.

Brown people can live in suburbia you know.
