For me it's...

1. Any mention of Harlan Coben
2. Any mention of a Time Loop
3. Any mention of Teenager Reuniting Family While Saving Planet Earth From Global Catastrophe

You?

Don’t worry, Australia MAFS is heading your way very soon!

1. Romcoms
2. Anything Marvel
3. Most “comedy” shows

But I admit to loving Missing You by Harlan Coben!

Any series recommended to me by someone saying;

"yeah, there's 10 seasons, about 24 episodes a season, and the first 4-5 seasons are mega slow but then it starts to pick up".

Only one trigger but three examples...
A series where the characters' names are contrived to fit the situation -
1. The Good Life
2. Rosemary and Thyme , after which I thought there couldn't be any title more crass until I saw a trailer for...
3. Shakespeare and Hathaway

I've got an idea for a story about two rival ice-cream sellers in Manchester where the names of the owners are a Mr. City and a Miss United. I'm not sure what to call it though

1. Low quality almost soft focus.
2.From 2015- present.
3. Bouffant hair, male or female

The wonderful thing about triggers is that triggers are wonderful things.

Agree

My three (with a bonus fourth)
1. Most things in the fake 'most watched' charts
2. Travelogues with boring people that I can't understand got commissioned in the first place
3. 'Documentaries' that are essentially product placement (eg Costa)
4. Food travel shite dripping in barbecued dead animals around the world

So no classic A team then?

Ah beaten to it.

10 years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

Length. I like a succinct story tightly told. If Citizen Kane can tell a brilliant story with interesting characters in 1hr 59 minutes, why suffer through over 91 hours of “Lost”
