To think the programme Sex Actually is just grim

[islandgirlsun]

I was watching gogglebox where they watched the programme Sex Actually, AIBU to think the programme is just grim? The clip I saw certainly was in my opinion.

YABU

I think filming yourself having sex to random strangers is grim but obviously that is just my opinion and I may be wrong.

I accidentally saw the opening minute of one episode. Grim was my response too.

No, you are right OP

Never heard of it up until now
One to avoid then

I wouldn't' watch it if I was you

YABU to base a decision based on a clip. By all means decide it's not for you and decide not to watch it, or watch an episode and then decide. But YABU to decide for everyone else that it's grim.

I watched one full episode and whilst finding it uncomfortable to watch at moments, found it very informative and thought provoking. Programmes that I watch are either entertaining or thought-provoking. I find it not that different to watching a travel programme about a far-flung place I've never been to or a documentary about a political issue abroad I've never known about. Good TV informs and stimulates new, neural pathways, which I'm sure is thr intention of this programme. I didn't find the episode I watched sordid or titillating in any way.

The dogging documentary on ch4 was grim and hilarious.

Parts of it were like something out of The League Of Gentleman. That 'threesome'' creeping about in the woods trying to avoid the mud.
''Ooh it's a bit cold innit? D'y'a want y'knob sucked then?''
''erm .... no ...''
