I've avoided watching it
in spite of it being recommended by loads of people.

I went against my instincts before and watched an episode of Gavin and Stacey based on how many people said it was good. never again.

Any programme that dares,
in this day and age, to have as its protagonist a ‘tough street cop with a complicated personal life, who doesn’t play by the rules but just wants to get the job done – he’s a good cop, OK’, can really fuck right off.

my friend here at work got tanked up last night. Still drunk this morning. Now she is experiencing the hangover. She just said "I'm going green. I feel like I've aged 20 years. I can feel my capillaries"

great hangover experience there.

Protagonist?
there are no protagonists? I forget sometimes when I come on B3ta how obnoxious some people are. The "Urgh if it's popular it's bad" attitude grinds my gears. If you watch it and like it great, if you watch it and don't fine but don't get all gimpy and slaggy slaggy when you've not watched it. However I do agree Gavin and Stacey is fucking gash and I would like to see James Corden killed.

I watched 3 episodes.
That's 3 fucking HOURS - if I dedicate 3 hours to something and still don't like it, surely that should be a) perfectly long enough to judge a TV show and b) entirely my business if I consider it 'not for me'. And it seemed to mainly be about that McNulty twat whose character came across PRECISELY as I described it above.

I meant
about being obnoxious, I wasn't being aggressive. I was stating my point of view about how on here a lot of members slag things off that they have little or no experience of. I didn't get personal about anything or anyone. What's the point in getting all sketchy about it. And no Kitty I'm not gonna say its too cliquey in here as that would be fucking weird wouldn't it.
