It’s also poorly written British television that people say they do not love, for some inexplicable reason.
If being good and well written had anything to do with love, my dog would need a better writer!
More seriously, I think binging that show would totally kill it for me. It’s always been about timing. I first came across it on NH Public TV, when I lived in a remote area, and it became my appointment TV (because honestly, PBS was the only station that came in half decent). Did I mention I had just recently encountered a flowering bud for the first time? Good times. I’ve also enjoyed it as at the end of the night, hanging out with old nerdy friends and having it on in the background for people to stare at. It’s not Game of Thrones level fascinating - and that’s good. Some fluffy nonsense is necessary in every full life.
I don’t think it’s badly written. I think it’s poorly conceived and amateurishly executed. But really pretty well written when compared to some of what is made for TV. It’s supposed to NOT be shakespeare.
