Its all down to personal taste, I'm a film/TV show collector and a lot of 'classic' stuff I love is not popular with many but loved by others, shows like the original The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, One Step Beyond, classic Sci Fi, 40s and 50s film noir etc, its all down to personal taste.
 
I loved Friends but I was 12 or 13 when the first series came out and to be honest, it was one of those things we watched at school to make us seem older and to fit in with older girls- after the London episode it went shite and full of injokes not to mention these shite flashback episodes which were essentially clips of old eps. Or the one where Phoebe thought her mother was inside a cat and some of the ‘quirky’ things she said, nobody is that thick.
Never got the appeal of reality/ scripted reality TV that much either, TOWIE, LI, BB, I’m a Celeb.I like more factual reality like the docuseries ‘7 up’, Long Lost Family, the 90s docusoaps.
Loose Women. Need I say more? Bunch of cackling harpies.
 
Love Island - couldn't get into it at all.
Riverdale
The Royle Family
13 Reasons Why
The Big Bang Theory
Heroes - got bored of it after the first half of first series. Same with Glee.
Big Mouth - don't like the art style and feel like it's too try-hard with the crude humour (much like Sausage Party).
Family Guy - used to find it funny in my early teens, wouldn't bother watching it at all now.
 
Gavin and Stacey - I'm so pleased it's not just me, its utter shite
Mrs Browns Boys - see above
Hanna - just the same as the film, but really drawn out
In fact, any programme made after a successful film - just leave it alone!
Can't get into The Witcher, sorry, but loved Game of Thrones
Eastenders, Coronation Street
 
Tiger King. What a pile of dreadful shite. Me and my OH really tried and managed a few episodes before giving up. It’s so poorly edited and bloated - absolutely no need for so many episodes. No interest in watching a narcissistic red neck abuse animals and young men for hours on end. Mad that it was so popular.
 
After life - I just absolutely cannot stand Ricky gervais
Game of thrones - I have it a good go and watched a season and a half but just didn’t enjoy it at all
Gavin and Stacey - I started this recently and feel I missed the boat on that one

Bargain Hunt-This needs to be taken off the T.V its so dreadful, middle aged people getting worked up about a pound etc. Its absolute crap. I also hate that gameshow Pointless. Yes that Normal People was crap as well, it was just shagging with little storyline.
Strictly Come Dancing-Total tit.
Yes Friends wasnt even funny,it was just for the brain dead I think.

Bit harsh,fair enough you don’t like a programme but ‘for the brain dead’?? 😳😳
 
Black Mirror- excellent in the first 3 series, started to get a bit old after when it became really popular and the last 3 episodes were a bit of a disappointment
Stranger Things - too derivative
Friends
Anything superhero/superpower/Marvel related really
The Walking Dead
Downton Abbey
GoT like 10000000%
Outlander - extremely average and cheesy
Full House
Big Bang Theory
The Simpsons
 
Friends

Game of thrones - tried season 1 a couple of times and couldn’t get past it.

Breaking Bad - “Give it until season 3 that’s when it gets good” errrr no 😂 not wasting my life waiting for something good to happen

Mrs Browns Boys

Killing Eve Season 2 - Painful to say when Season 1 was just incredible (haven’t watched S3 yet)
 
Britians Got (no) Talent

I'm A Celeb - can't stand Alesha or Amanda Holden

The Voice - used to like it but hate the poor choice of female judges, Paloma is awful, so was Jessie J and Rta Ora

The Masked Singer. It's crap anyway but Davina Mcall and Jonathan Ross - wtf

The Big Bang Theory - again the first few series were good but i cant stand it now

The Simpsons
 
Peaky Blinders is trash 👎

Game of Thrones... did the cast actually have real sex? 😂 I seen it was on one evening, so switched channels to see what the fuss was about, and the moment it came on my screen there was a couple literally full on banging, her boobs were jangling about all over the place and I think I even seen his willy flopping around too. Everyone knows there's a ton of sex in it and it just makes me cringe, because when you hear all these people you know talking about loving the show, imagining them watching all that just gives me the ick lol!

Love Island... sorry but what's so entertaining about spitting fruit juice into each other's mouths 🤢 the one time I switched it on to see if it was worth the hype, and that's what they were doing. Gross!

EastEnders... it's just shouting and crying from start to finish 😶

I also hate those crappy cartoon shows like Bob's Burgers, an episode came on after something I was watching and it was literally awful??? I couldn't even keep it on in the background, it made me want to tear my ears off.
