I will start

Game of Thrones is overrated.

My Mother and Grandmother were very strong believers in this too

Not just mine then. I told my mother about a programme the other day which was on ITV, her response was 'that's a shame, I don't watch ITV'
I wonder if the world would end if she did Grin

Anything that involves interviewing members of the public makes me cringe, especially on the news.

Vera is dreadful, purely down to the leads accent. Why not cast an actor with the required accent to start with, her Ooohing in a squeaky voice does my head in.

Doctor Who is an overrated kids show.

Any series with more than 6 episodes should be banned. If you can’t tell the story in 6 hours then it needs editing.

Vera is my go to comfort tv Blush

Kernobhead · 11/05/2019 16:56

I used to enjoy The Last Leg, thought it was a clever programme throwing up some interesting viewpoints. It’s changed in to a laddish, woke, virtue signalling pile of rubbish.

Kernobhead · 11/05/2019 16:58

Sorry Mrsjayy! I like the premise of it, and that the lead actor is an older woman, but the accent needs to go!

Mrsjayy · 11/05/2019 16:58

It really has kernobhead and Alex needs to stop laughing at nothing

Mrsjayy · 11/05/2019 17:00

I have heard a few north easterners hate her accent so fair enough.

Kernobhead · 11/05/2019 17:00

I also avoid programmes that are more than 1 hour long, I have a short attention span and even if I’m enjoying the programme my mind wanders and I loose the plot.

buggerthebotox · 11/05/2019 17:07

I wasn't allowed to watch ITV either as a kid. I had to sneak to my auntie's to watch On the Buses. I still watch OTB and find it funny.

Gogglebox is utter crap. Is it actually supposed to be funny, or is it a send- up of the "watchers"?

Doctors is fab. Wasted on daytime telly!

Those talent shows are unbearable - all of them.

I like Mrs Brown's Boys.

Baloonphobia · 11/05/2019 17:10

Murder, she wrote is a quality programme.

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 11/05/2019 21:07

Grease is appalling. Unbearable rubbish.

I do enjoy a bit of Midsomer Murders / Casualty / Diagnosis Murder which are all bonkers and theoretically rubbish, though, so perhaps I shouldn't comment!

SinisterBumFacedCat · 11/05/2019 21:53

I accidentally caught the tail end of some historical pub brawl with swearing, the acting was so slow I thought it had been dubbed. Apparently that was Game of Thrones!

Question Time is horrible now, just a Brexit vs Remainer slanging match.

I mourn the loss of Top Of The Pops and Big Brother.

sharpstick · 11/05/2019 21:57

Soaps are all utter shite

Mrs Browns Boys is not remotely funny

terryleather · 12/05/2019 00:10

Fleabag is smug overrated pish

EL8888 · 12/05/2019 00:12

Mrs Brown’s Boys is appalling

Reality TV is for the brain dead

planesinthesky · 12/05/2019 00:56

The adoration for Fleabag is a bit embarrassing when Chewing Gum was pretty much ignored on here.

Mark Labbett is my least favourite Chaser. He’s just very unlikeable compared to the others.

I liked Would I Lie To You so much more when Angus Deayton was presenting. Rob Brydon makes it almost unwatchable for me.

Two Pints Of Lager was one of the funniest sitcoms of the noughties and doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

Benidorm was also a really great sitcom (for the first few series at least, it was rubbish by the end).

I really like Jeremy Vine and would watch pretty much any show he presented.

Mrsjayy · 12/05/2019 10:00

I did like 2 pints but it went downhill after Johnny died and to shit when there was no original cast left.

"Reality shows are for the brain dead."

I totally agree.

terryleather · 12/05/2019 11:09

Sherlock had a couple of good episodes but over all is also smug and overrated.

This one pains me as I think series 1-3 of Line Of Duty are fantastic and I adore Ted, but series 4 was disappointing and this one even more so...better than much that's on tv but not that great by its own standards.

I enjoyed Chewing Gum!

Mrsjayy · 12/05/2019 11:36

Elementary is miles better than sherlock not as smuggy and Johnny lee millar is better looking

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 12/05/2019 12:59

How is saying Mrs Brown's Boys is shit, a controversial opinion?

VoyageInTheDark · 12/05/2019 14:35

Endeavour is underrated.

I gave in to the hype and watched latest series of Line of Duty and found it overrated. I can't take Vicky McLure seriously for some reason

@mrsjayy agree about Elementary. Love JLM

EL8888 · 12/05/2019 17:33

@BuzzShitbagBobbly a lot of people appear to love it and think it’s hilarious

sleepstealer · 12/05/2019 17:40

I don't like Only Fools and Horses and yes, all soaps are shit.

I watched about half an episode of Game of Thrones and gave up, awful.

Gingerninja01 · 12/05/2019 17:45

Sons of anarchy, unintentionally hilarious
Last episode of line of duty was rubbish
