What is the most overrated TV show?

[WomenHour]

I would say
EastEnders.

Anything with Ant and Drc
Strictly Come Dancing
X Factor
Dancing on Ice
Anything with Celebs in knock out rounds

Mrs Brown's Boys. It's dire.

Line of duty- The main guy has all the charisma and acting ability of a potato. I have tried to watch it multiple times because I bloody love a cop drama and every one I know is obsessed, but I find it unwatchable!

Killing Eve. And I really wanted to like it. Everyone is good in it, but it didn't live up to the hype.

And Mrs Brown's boys, which is criminally bad.

I actually rather like Mrs Brown's Boys. It's not meant to be a great cinematic experience and it's only on MN that I've found people overwhelmingly hating it.

Anyway:

Miranda
TOWIE
Love Island
Made in Chelsea
X Factor
The Voice
Downton Abby

Mad Men is my favourite! I really enjoyed working out the plot lines from the clues the writers dropped e.g. broken coca-cola machine. I loved the journey through 1960s USA. And it has the best ending of any of the box sets.

I'm going to say the sopronos as well. I watched 4 or 5 series during lock down boredom before giving up.

Part of the problem was all the blokes apart from Tony looked the same to me... I never learnt any characters names apart from Tony and didn't know who was who or what was going on.

Madmen

slooooow and I didn't like/understand the motivation of the characters

God yes dull as ditchwater imo. Also hated GOT, Lost, Buffy the vampire slayer, and back in the day, Twin Peaks.

Gavin and Stacey. Not one single person in it is likeable or funny and i cant watch it without cringing at how bad it is

Thank god it's not just me. I'd watch it if there was nothing else on and I was tied to the sofa but I don't think I've ever laughed at any of it.

All of the reality tv shows about vacuous idiots wirh overinflated egos .....

I definitely agree with Killing Eve, Mrs Browns Boys and the numerous reality shows---X Factor, BGT, Strictly, etc. Dire
Some of your suggestions make me sad though... Mad Men? Seinfeld?? 😮

Game of Thrones - never got the hype!

Line of Duty - according to DH it's cringingly inaccurate.

Fleabag - didn't really understand the concept. It just made me... sad. Didn't find it funny. Didn't warm to the characters etc. Spent the first three weeks telling everyone it had Bellatrix LeStrange in it... it wasn't, it was Olivia Coleman!

Ant and Dec and Holly and Phil make me want to pull my teeth out. Also Louis Theroux... having known and worked with a myriad of investigative journalists he's just... dull and there are so many missed opportunities.

Killing Eve too... I know the girl in it from something and I can never figure out what. I'm sure she was in Hollyoaks at one point!

Handmaid's Tale - just... no. Who would enjoy that?!

God, I'm a cynical bitch! There's a reason I watch the same shows over and over!

Also any reality show... BGT, X-Factor, Saturday Night Takeaway - all that shit.

Would rather pluck the hairs off my tits!

Jody Comer? She was in Dr Foster, which was another one that I think was overrated. Much as I'll watch anything with Suranne Jones in it, I thought it was quite unbelievable.
