What are some shows you love but you know you shouldn’t?

Mine are mostly 00/10s reality shows that I rewatch when I don’t fancy starting something new. Things like My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, Four Weddings, Airline, the car crash one with Lisa Scott Lee! Jersey Shore was also a firm favourite. Total garbage but so nostalgic.

Love never lies on netflix. I'm addicted! I'm mid 40's, all the contestants are in their 20's.

MotherCarmody · 10/03/2025 15:29

Any old reality shit. Real Housewives, Below Deck, Love Island, Big Brother... I'm not even embarrassed.

MotherCarmody · 10/03/2025 15:30

And I'm 54! Really should spend my time better, but nope! 😂

Sweet Magnolias. It makes Virgin River look like Shakespeare.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Atlanta. I love looking at their houses (and the wigs/hairpieces on Atlanta)
Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords
Curvy Brides Boutique
Four in a Bed
Gogglebox (new series only)

I know it’s frowned upon and given the way it ended and why, I’m no longer a fan, however I loved a bit of Jeremy Kyle in its day. It made me appreciate how lucky I was and how good my life was at the time.

ChungkingExpress · 10/03/2025 16:15

The Vampire Diaries/ The Originals. I can’t resist vampire drama!

A few years ago I was at Stratford International Station. An elderly couple sat down next to me. The wife got a leaflet out to look at where they were staying in Canterbury..I then heard the wife say...
"Darling... I don't think I want to stay there... It's been on some programme called Four In A Bed!!
Once I had explained what the programme was normal service was resumed!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

@ChungkingExpress ITVX has a Vampire Diaries spin off Its called Legacies. Noticed it on their homepage

Gogglebox 😵‍💫

RaraRachael · 10/03/2025 16:36

I used to love Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo 😅

RedRiverShore5 · 10/03/2025 16:37

The good ship murder, it's so cheesy and I love the song at the end

BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop · 10/03/2025 16:38

90 Day Fiancé - especially the UK edition
RHO Beverly Hills
Four In A Bed
US Traitors - it’s all reality stars and so different to the UK version, their egos get in the way of any real gameplay.

Am grossly offended that someone said Sex And The City is crap TV. It’s the best television programme ever made ever 🧐. (The movies are shite, but I still watch them on an annual basis 😂).

90 day fiance
Police interceptors
Cruise Vlogs

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 10/03/2025 16:40

The Kardashians on Disney. They're vacuous people but for some reason I can't help but watch.

I’ve tried that. It’s a bit too teen drama for me, and not quite vampire-y enough!

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 10/03/2025 16:57

Gogglebox!

MaryGreenhill · 10/03/2025 16:58

Omg yes The Good Ship Murder 😁
We all love it here 😁
The theme song is so cheesy but so catchy .
'Going on an adventure with you on my mind' 😁

unlikelywitch · 10/03/2025 16:58

There was a 90 day fiance spin off where couples who had been on previous series watched the current one, almost like a Gogglebox situation, which I loved.
