1. Where do you usually watch TV programmes/shows [Why?/Why not?]

Much as I hate to admit it, I am a reality TV junkie! I also watch stuff like comedies and crime TV programmes But you could burn the house down around me while my favorite reality show ison!I know most of the shows are of little value but I just can't helpit!

3. Are there any programmes/shows you don't like watching?[Why?/Why not?]

 

Well, it would have to be soaps. They are just so predictable and boring. I prefer shows like the British TV series Black Mirror. There's always a twist at the end which will leave you wanting more. And I like dystopian make you think.

I'd like to say fewer! I mean, I know I'd be better off spending time on something more productive.In fact,whenever I binge-watch some hit shows I feel guilty. But I don't think I could simply quit it because if I did, I'd miss out on so many things that my friends would be talking about.
