The Wire.
Homeland.
Modern Family.
Downton Abbey.
Graceland.
That recent BBC drama about the house with all the weird neighbours.
I do like The Wire but I don't get why most people say it's the best show there's ever been. It's very good but I wouldn't say it's amazing. Mind you I didn't understand half of what they were saying
Banshee. I watched it and lots of people raved over it but I didn't get why. It was ok, got a bit boring and samey towards the end. If Antony Starr hadn't have been in it (getting his kit off) I'd have given up on it way before the end
The Wire. I watched the first series, it took me a good few episodes to get into it. Overall, I did quite enjoy it in the end. But I wouldn't have said it was amazing. I haven't gone out of my way to watch the other series.
Downton Abbey. Saw one episode... they were all just talking around a dinner table, found it all really boring in all honesty. No denying it's very popular though and has good production values.
The Only Way is Essex/Made in Chelsea - I just don't get the whole "scripted reality" thing. Surely it's a reality show or it isn't? And if it's scripted, I'd rather watch something fictional that's more exciting, like soaps or dramas that have murder mysteries etc. Why would I want to watch someone's relationship problems for an hour? Boring :yawn:

Same here. It took me about three or four episodes to get into the first series of The Wire but I really liked it by the end. I've since seen every series and it is very good television, but I've seen other shows I think are better. You should give the other series a go though. They're showing them all again on Sky Atlantic, still on series one at the moment. They do get even better as they go along.
I've seen all of the episodes of Peaky Blinders, but in my opinion it's not as good i hoped it would be.I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just seems to lack something.
Too many to list. All soaps, most soapy dramas (casualty, Waterloo Road etc), most game shows, most chat shows, all kids TV, some comedy (Mrs Brown's Boys / that new thing on BBC 1 in a similar slot with the Irish guy in the lead ).
Hysteria? Really? BGT had been on for years before I even knew it existed and I'm not watching XF this year and I haven't heard or seen anything about it.
Hysteria refers to the studio audience antics.Tried X Factor no thanks, and clips of BGT much the same.
what programmes do you think are overated and just dont get the hype?
mine are Downtown abbey, strictly come dancing and the x factor.
I also hated friends
OFAH. The shitty show should of had 3 series and then end. They are supposed to be wheelers and dealers and putting wives and turning it into a soap was a terrible idea.

I can't get into it, I've tried but it's missing something for me as well.

I might try the other series at some point. I don't have Sky Atlantic, but my friend has all the series on DVD. (that's how I watched the first series) I might ask him if he wants to do a DVD swap .

That's a shame, as I have all the episodes so far on series link. I haven't started watching it yet though.
You might like Peaky Blinders, quite a few people have said how good it is. I just can't get into it myself, but I'm going to catch up with the latest episode because I enjoyed the one before that more than the previous ones. It might be a slow burner with me

You only have to look at some of the pearls of wisdom above to quickly understand the foolishness of taking them seriously

Probably Peter Andre as it's kept him famous.

But which Wallander? Lassgard, Henriksson or Branagh? Or all three?
I love both of the Swedish ones, not so much the Branagh one though.

Well in your own mind you only know your own opinions to make the choice as to what you like and don't like.
That's why forums like this exist as you don't know what everyone else is thinking do you?
