Ackley Bridge (2017)
Should have stopped at season 3
The first 3 seasons are fantastic! After that, the show goes downhill. The new characters are wooden and boring and the old characters just aren't likable anymore. Seasons one to three are funny, entertaining and real. The characters are relatable and fun and the storylines are interesting. Seasons four and five just aren't. The once likeable characters seem to have changed and become miserable and boring. The storylines are all based around Fizza and Kayla who do nothing but whine and moan and compete for the attentions of a lad who has absolutely zero personality. Honestly, when you've finished season three, turn it off.
How I Caught My Killer (2023)
Awful music and narration.
The show itself is quite interesting. Very sad, often quite shocking. However, the music played throughout the episodes is awful and not very well thought through. Some of the lyrics seem borderline disrespectful to the story being told. The narrators are also quite ridiculous. They bring nothing to the series other than cheesy, crime doc tropes and catchphrases. They make the series feel like a budget, Buzzfeed Web series or similar, with fresh out of college writers trying to make a name for themselves. This being said, the series is a good watch. Particularly for background noise or if you don't really want to pay too much attention.
