Despite the greatest efforts of writers, producers and actors, not every highly-acclaimed television show will please every single viewer who tunes in. Yes, that also includes Game of Thrones.
Not every series may be everyone’s cup of tea no matter how much we’d like to argue about it over the dinner table. That is why whether we personally loved them or not, these scathing reviews and ratings prove that even the most popular of TV programmes feel the prick of a critic’s pen.
In Bristol, we are also proud home to many well-known classics that were either based or filmed in the city - and over the years of being aired, re-run and streamed online or on catch-up services, some strong opinions have been shared. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most scathing (sometimes hilariously so) takes on these Bristol shows, and if your favourite happens to be on here, we apologise in advance.
