Following on from another thread here, name (in your opinion) an overrated tv show that you just don't think lived up to the hype.

I'll start with a probably unpopular opinion, House with Hugh Laurie.

A lot of modern stuff to be fair. The average IQ has actually dropped nationally so it's not surprising TV and media reflect that.

Any of the ‘reality’ codswallop. Love Island, Married at First Sight, Britain’s Got etc. used to love a bit of Strictly (pretty frocks and much swooshing), now I challenge myself to know who the heck the ‘celebrities’ are - I know, showing my age!

Peaky Blinders, and Vikings, both bored me to tears, not even Cillian Murphy and Travis Fimmel could keep me interested.

I'm gonna say Fleabag. Although not strictly overrated, more not what I expected. I heard so many people saying how funny it was and I actually found it really sad.

Titz Towers, North Notts

Peaky Blinders - this became the triumph of 'the look' over story.

The Walking Dead - basically a soap with the occasional appearance of zombies.

Breaking Bad - started well, but got too caught up in its own mythology and sense of importance.

Ashes to Ashes - someone bought the big book the early 80s and then tried to shoehorn every reference point they could into it.

Stranger Things - as above, just a nostalgia kick as they throw in as many 80s pop culture references as possible. If they have a car chase it'll simply be so they can feature a DeLorean.

The Office - I think we've all worked in a place like that.

It’s A Sin - so deeply misogynist and shit characters/plot. I can only imagine the people who like it are so young they weren’t aware of HIV AIDS and so see the programme as educational.

I feel that I must be free a different planet and race from anyone who could like it. It perhaps should have been a 30 second sketch.

I don't know anyone who appreciates Mrs Brown's Boys, thank God. Total shite.
