This is a potential "light the blue touch paper" thread Carty - so well done for starting it Pal Here goes Another she has been watching is the totally and utterly depressing " Handmaids Tale". Honestly, if any of you have seen more than 60 seconds of this you'll know what I'm on about. If you haven't seen it - avoid. If you can't avoid it, I advise you to spend a little time making sure there is no rope on the premises as after watching an episode, you'll be looking for that rope and making a noose out of one end. I started the Handmaids Tale because people were raving about it at work. I didn't get past 3 eps. I started Outlander because everyone at work was raving about the sexy 'Jamie Fraser'. Fair enough, he's quite but it's so awful. How many times do I need to see the main characters tortured ? Nah I quit that one too. Definitely this topic is a potential flame thrower. It's funny how kids don't really watch a lot of tv (like older folk do). I rarely have to sit through a tv show that my son is watching. He tends to watch shows on his laptop and it's usually binge watching rather than live shows which he can do anytime. I will say to even the perspective on here, men are usually complained about by women for watching any and every sport on tv. How many football games can one man watch ? But what is worse are the test cricket matches that go one for days... and days... and days...

Forgot about the Handmaid s Tale, it is awful, as is Westworld, although the film it was based on, with Yul Brynner was good.
Another thing my wife likes which is utter shite is Supernatural, it's on some satellite channel. Oh, and Wentworth, words fail me on that one

Well I'm single so don't get to see any of this aforementioned rubbish thankfully!!! Lol! Hardly watch much telly, only the news and the odd doc if it looks any good about music, recent 20th century social history etc. Only looking forward to German language drama series "Deutschland 86" whenever it arrives on UK TV Jan 2019 hopefully as I got into the previous series D83.

My Mrs was watching Love Island when it was on. I had to leave the room and go and play in the garage with my Beetle. What an utter load of staged tosh Love Island is.

Me & the wife very rarely watch the same thing, I think everything she watches is rubbish, here are some selected highlights: Gotham - crap The Handmaid's Tale - crap Billions - crap Game Of Thrones - with the exception of Emilia Clarke - crap Shop Well For Less - crap - why on earth would you go on tv to show your neighbours that you're a complete idiot Westworld - crap Shetland - crap Vera - crap Strike - crap The Great British Bake Off - crap Broadchurch - crap - ooh controversial Penny Dreadful - it really is Wallander - crap Blindspot - crap The Flash - crap Hannibal - crap Bates Motel - crap The Following - crap For the sake of equality, it's probably worth pointing out that she does not like what I watch either but I wonder how many of the above will be watched in 30-40 years time, not many I'd guess. agree ninety nine percent lol for some reason i have been enjoying Bates motel .
