Ten British Shows I Wanted to Love (But Couldn't)
About this episode
The episode discusses ten British shows that the host wanted to love but ultimately couldn't connect with.
Not every show is made for every viewer. In this episode, we walk through 10 British shows that looked great on paper but I just couldn't get into for one reason or another. Great casts. Great locations. Great buzz. And yet something didn't click. We talk about what works, what doesn't, and why sometimes even the greatest actor alive isn't enough to keep you coming back. If you've ever quietly given up on a show everyone else loves, this one's for you. Shop at Cozy Earth today for luxurious bedding and bath items. For a 21% discount, use promo code BTVW1
