I was the same when I first tried it so gave up, but I gave it another go and it somehow “clicked”

As per the OP, I recognise that it’s probably great TV, it just didn’t do anything for me.

Ah fair enough. I thought you meant you didn't understand it.

I love it personally

One thing I tried to watch but really COULDN'T was Westworld...

So what would you recommend we wear?

I get that they are all sh!ts but I don't get why anyone that cares for the people of the UK would listen to/ follow/ vote for them.

Love Curry Pies..because the premise to this thread, as per the OP, is that it's meant to be stuff which is undoubtedly great but you, personally, just don't get. Having said that if FactualFrank thinks Dancing on Ice and Strictly Come Dancing are fundamentally great then I'd be surprised.

My mate had it once and it had a bloody nipple on it.
