Sorry - didn't know where else this should be posted.

What would you say we should NOT watch on TV over the next couple of weeks? I'm going to exclude the news immediately as, face it, it's dire and depressing.

I'd say don't watch Bird Box on Netflix. And I'm not impressed with Fleabag. Any others??

Fleabag is BRILLIANT. You are missing out!

Divebar · 22/03/2020 22:18

Something called Pandemic on Netflix - no idea what it is but I’m not watching it.

The film contagion

MooseBreath · 22/03/2020 22:32

The Witcher. People raved about it, but the direction and storyline was awful!

PolloDePrimavera · 22/03/2020 22:36

Agree I thought Bird Box was a bit crap but Fleabag honestly is brilliant.

Chesntoots · 22/03/2020 23:21

Do not watch Robert the Bruce, I think it's on Amazon. It has described as a crime against cinema and it is 2 hours I wont ever get back. Horrendous.

(In case anyone wonders why I watched all of it, it was literally the fascination of the abomination).

HowManyToes · 22/03/2020 23:22

Fleabag is shite

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 22/03/2020 23:23

Flea bag is rubbish, you are not missing anything!

Don’t fuck with cats- never watch it

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 22/03/2020 23:23

Don't watch Hot Zone - fab series but not for these times!

MyDcAreMarvel · 22/03/2020 23:25

The 2011 movie contagious is something I won’t be watching. Flipping trailer was on Facebook.

PenguinsOnParade · 22/03/2020 23:29

I agree with Fleabag being awful. I wanted to break my TV within seconds of it starting. I didn't think it sounded like my sort of thing but with so many people raving about it I tried to give it a go. It didn't convince me in any way.

I watched Robert the Bruce the other day as well and almost fell asleep at it. Tell It To The Bees sounded good but Anna Paquin was so wooden in it and I really didn't care about any of the characters for most of it. Both are on Sky movies right now. I've not heard good things about the new Pet Sematary which is on Sky as well.

Redshoeblueshoe · 22/03/2020 23:29

Bladerunner 2049. 164 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

BitchHazel · 22/03/2020 23:31

We watched The Irishman last night. 3 hours of absolutely fuck all.

OwlinaTree · 22/03/2020 23:33

Second season of Westworld was crap.

theneighbourswindchime · 22/03/2020 23:33

"The favourite" film on now tv- UTTER SHITE

Tinty · 22/03/2020 23:34

The Lobster - do not watch it.

Alternatively, watch it, then come and tell me how rubbish it is! Grin

justcly · 22/03/2020 23:41

Anything with Ant and Dec in. It's the only way to get rid of them.

alltoomuchrightnow · 22/03/2020 23:47

When The Wind Blows

Spongeface · 22/03/2020 23:57

I'll add meet Joe black.... Weird non film. Do not watch. Very long too.
OH wanted to watch the Irishman tonight I was like no way the length of it! He said it was 'hard work'

dorisrainbow · 22/03/2020 23:59

The Stand

CSIblonde · 23/03/2020 01:41

Ant & Dec. Bland for the bland (& the dim). Anything with Joanna Lumley being posh somewhere hot (yawn).

Ds asked to watch that when I suggested he find a comedy to watch together 🤷‍♀️ we watched Brooklyn 911 or whatever it's called instead.

steff13 · 23/03/2020 03:50

Don't watch The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez unless you hate yourself.

LonginesPrime · 23/03/2020 03:56

When The Wind Blows

This makes me feel like crying just thinking about it.

The utter despair.
