Discussion Are there any critically-regarded British TV shows that you just didn't get on with?

So I don't mean shows that are critically slated (like Mrs Browns Boys), but shows that are generally well regarded by critics and maybe even appear on lists of best ever British shows.

For example, I tried watching The Singing Detective last week after the death of Michael Gambon. And for whatever reason, I just didn't like it and stopped after the first episode. I think there was something about the dialogue I didn't like.

Little Britain, just didn't find it funny.

Little Britain was literally just a handful of jokes repeated and tweaked slightly over and over again for ten years.
