   What if they are wrong? (Not that in this case I am saying they   
   are!)   
      
   Generally though, surely it's better to see something with your   
   own eyes by watching it than spend the equivalent time on   
   YouTube watching people tell you what is in it?!   
      
   That seems like a lazy way of judging a TV show to me.

   Maybe they actually liked it? I can accept people have a   
   different opinion to me. My opinion on a TV show is all that   
   counts to me. If other people like something that I dislike,   
   that's fine. Good luck to them.

   Everyone has an agenda of some sort.
