[TV] TV to avoid...

[Arthur]

I appreciate I'm opening up a thread for people just to say Mrs Brown but plenty of threads on here about good telly and things to watch on Netflix/Amazon etc but can't recall seeing one about the dross that has been spewed out during this lockdown.

Whoever is in charge of Sky's comedy output should be concerned about their job IMO. Watched Code 404 last night. Poor at best but far from their worst. Hitmen was absolute pony! Mel and Sue basically playing themselves as hitmen.....yes its as shite as it sounds!

Sky do redeem themselves with Breeders.

As bad as Hitmen was its certainly not the worst, not by a long way. That accolade for me goes to Netflix for Brews Brothers. I lasted 2.5 episodes before I had to switch it off it was that bad.

After Life by Ricky Gervais.

Gogglebox - for pity's sake WHY!!! The other Pottings are all addicted and wonder why, instead of watching it, I prefer to watch something else on my tablet or go to bed and read.

After Life by Ricky Gervais.

Having read the thread dedicated to it I'm slightly worried about watching the second season. I thought the first one was brilliant.

One episode of Hitmen was enough.
I usually check something scores at least 6 out of 10 on imdb before watching. Found this had a rating of 4.7 afterwards.

Had the misfortune of watching Extraction on Netflix last night. Big mistake. 2 hours totally wasted. Avoid.

Any fans of Nick Hornby's book and/or film High Fidelity need to steer clear of the 10 part TV show.

ITV.

 

[Icy Gull]

Money for Nothing on Quest, what a dull programme

Anything by Ricky Gervais.

Edited for you.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Anything about antiques, recycling old tat and car boot sales.

This.

I trust imdb mostly. If something is rated below 7 I'm instantly sceptical.

You did well with one episode, the trailer was enough for me to say no.

I’d agree with recycling and car boot sales but I do enjoy Salvage Hunters even though Drew Pritchard is a massive smug cock

Big fan of American Pickers.

45 minutes of saying "why" in various different tones - what's not to like.

Or buying old properties in the north of England.

I never watched the first series, only the second and though it was great.

 

[VAL1850]

Agree SKY TV's Breeders is very good with two very good actors - rest is pretty dire though

Is this a documentary on Crystal Palace?
