Oh dear! I am the only one that can't stand it then!       ;D

Except,... maybe.... Albatross? ? ?  ;D

You are CORRECT!
Can't say I hate it, cos I didn't watch it... just had zero interest in it from the start.  I don't really watch anything that 'looks' like that...fantasy-things, weird costumes, mediaeval things, anything 'battle-related'.  Just... no. 

 >>so proud that Larrabee 'knows' me!!<<  ;) ;D

****HAHAHAHAHHA!  just realised I thought you guys were talking about Game of Thrones!!!  HAHAH!!  I don't actually know *what* you are talking about then!!*****

Lol - we're talking about The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson :).

Yeah, the Good Place on Netflix. I've tried more than once to get into it but think it's awful. Thought you might too!  ;D

I didn't even bother to try with Game of Thrones! ;D

My husband doesn't like it either... Maybe it's a Brit thing? 😉

I dunno, my husband and his sister both LOVED it as well (we used to chat about it when she stayed with us lol). Maybe it's just a difference in personality types amongst Brits though :)

Never heard of it, so logged onto Netflix to read the description thingy... this is going to be a no for me.  Ted Danson? Not a fan. 

Good call, Larrabee  :)

I watched that too! I really liked The Good Place and my husband (the Brit) enjoyed it too. I work from home so I have all day to watch stuff and generally finish stuff when he isn't around. He liked the episodes that he saw.

Really enjoying Safe on Netflix.  ;D

Can't quite get used to Michael C. Hall with that accent  (it's good enough but just seems strange coming out of his mouth) but other than that, I'm loving it!

This was exactly my feeling when I saw the trailer.

I'm obsessed with The Handmaid's Tale. I also can't wait for Great British Bake Off and Stranger Things later on.

Everyone's been talking about Love Island. I do enjoy some trashy, so bad it's good TV so I may give it a whirl tonight.

It also seems like a lot of folks like Gogglebox. Personally, I just don't get the hype. My poor English husband has also tried desperately to get me on the old school Brit comedies, like Dad's Army and Only Fools and Horses. Yeah, just don't find them funny. Maybe I have no sense of humor  :P

YES! I've been watching season 2 of Handmaid's Tale as well (only one episode down so far as been so busy!).

I think my husband and I might be the only two twats in the country not watching Love Island LOL although I discovered my line manager and her husband don't watch it either so made me feel marginally better :)

We're not watching Love Island.  Fellow twats here.  :P

Handmaid's Tale is so amazing... the season 2 opener was so powerful (to me?).  I haven't watched the second episode yet, and I think they're only on 3 this week...?  I'm not too far behind, right?

Yeah, episode 3 was aired last night.

I was a bit behind so I watched episode 2 after work last night and I’ll see episode 3 when I get home tonight :).
