Friends
The Big Bang Theory

I don’t watch any TV, or many movies either.

My favourite TV show ended 20 years ago.

And my favourite films are the same as always.

Not sure why… Nothing against television!

Risheth · 25/01/2025 23:35

Friends seems to be the one that surprises people most, but tbh, there are vast tracts of tv I haven’t seen. I have tv commitment issues. Tell me something is brilliant and there’s nine seasons and I quail.

Interested in this thread?

Gavin and Stacey. My hatred of James Cordon wont allow it.

I've never seen The Traitors which seems to be filling the magazine shelves. It seems to be all people are talking about. I've not seen Married At First Sight either, it all seems phoney given that it's not a legal marriage and that most of them separate within weeks of the programme being aired. I have never seen Game Of Thrones or Twilight either.

People keep telling me I’d like Game of Thrones, so I refuse to watch it on principle. I’m my own worst enemy!

What principle is that? Refuse to enjoy anything if People say it's good..... either way GOT isn't for everyone. Took me a few tries to like or understand anything that was happening, but then suddenly loved it.

Nah I’m just being contrary. They’re probably right and I’d like it.

Game of Thrones
I'm A Celeb
Call the Midwife
The Traitors

Peaky Blinders

Eldermillenialyogi · 26/01/2025 09:38

Lost
Gavin & Stacey

YorkieTheRabbit · 26/01/2025 09:45

Anything that involves people being voted for, Strictly,BGT etc
Reality shows such as Love Island, Big Brother
Most dramas over the last 20 years, did watch and really enjoy Ludwig recently.
We tend to watch factual shows, some comedy, nature/wildlife, science.

aspidernamedfluffy · 26/01/2025 10:16

All of them. I haven't owned a TV for 12 years.

Bubblyb00b · 26/01/2025 10:20

I have not seen any of them! Don't watch TV at all, have no TV for over 10 years. Only watch online stuff on Netflix etc - but only films and documentaries and, occasionally, crime series.

SoapySponge · 26/01/2025 11:00

shellyleppard · 25/01/2025 20:39

Love island, traitors and game of thrones

These plus Gavin & Stacey, The Sopranos, Big Brother and TOWIE.

MangoAndMelon · 26/01/2025 11:08

Watching netflix is essentially watching TV... Same principle, just online. Many of us onlyn stream now.

Emmeralde
Coronation street
Greys anatomy (never got around to it)
Most "Reality" tv shows. It's scripted anyway!

Rdit yo add Gavin and Stacey. Actually 90% British ling run soap operas, but it's nothing personal. I arrived to UK too late to catch up😂

I have no real interest in seeing any of them so if anyone thinks any of these are a must watch then let me know. I loved Breaking Bad, Ozark, The Fall - that sort of thing - not keen on fantasy so GoT is a big no from me!

Not sure if you've not seen these because you don't want to or not got round to it.

But I can HIGHLY recommend The Handmaids Tale - it's an excellent series.

Also Gossip Girl is surprisingly excellent - I had put it off for years as I just thought it was a stupid teenager series (well it still is), but binged it in lockdown and has excellent storylines for what it is.
