Try watching 7 series of Twenty (bloody) Four first, then The Wire will be a breath of fresh air.

Evil communist dictator, lover of gerbils & Pope.
I hate to fly in the face of popular opinion but I wasn't a fan of Doctor Foster.
She's great but the show was ridiculous.

Just because I don't watch doesn't mean I'm not aware.

Couldn't agree more. There's a godawful smugness about it all - like it's some kind of an achievement not to own a telly.I've missed many a good/bad show, due to many factors but none because of some high falootin or head up arse thinking I'm better than others who have seen them...
to be honest i find it quite nauseating when nobbers dismiss something they have no interest in, even though plenty of others do....
I also hate when others post as if watching TV is some ways inferior to what they do, again nobbers..

Well, you're not aware of what you missed, because you missed it.Just because I don't watch doesn't mean I'm not aware.
I can live with that.......

Probably every show that I spot being mentioned as "must watch" shows - nobody I have questioned as to why I "must watch" has been able to provide me with any reasons I feel compels me to watch them. They do however feel the need to tell me what happens in the shows and detailed information about the characters, despite me clearly having no interest. I still don't have a clue tho as I switch off and have been known to wander off and left them blabbering to themselves or said "sounds like shite"; they don't appear to take the "hint"...
I have come to the conclusion that anyone who watches "must watch" shows is a nobber.

it is very good indeed to be fair and does deserve its reputation.
The sequels on the other hand... not ao much, though by no means bad. Over-rated in my view
The book is shyte however

A friend of mine often excitedly asks "Have you been watching Corrie/Emmerdale/'stenders!?!?!?!!?" which is odd... it's as if the plots are so engrossing that she's completely forgotten that she knows full well that i don't watch any modern soaps. Even when i remind her of this decades old fact, she fills me in with all the latest soap gossip about this, that and the other character and I've no idea who any of them are. "yeah you dooooo." she'll rant, before telling me everything the character has done in the last five years. Then i realise that it's easier to pretend that i do know WTF she's on about and try to nod in all the right places.
That would be good. Thank you.
