Continuing the yearly version of this article. Below are the TV shows I started watching in 2025, TV shows I stopped watching in 2025 and TV shows I tried to watch but couldn’t. Also, TV shows I continued to watch this year.
Shows I tried but couldn’t get into
| Show | Service | Season | My Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Studio | Apple TV | 1 | Excellent |
| World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys | Channel 5 | 1,2,3,4 | Below Average |
The Studio was such a great show, I really loved the 2 episodes that I saw. But sadly, it employs a shaky-cam aesthetic, which left me with motion sickness and vomiting afterwards. Would a doctor prescribe me Dramamine to watch a TV show? It surely seems worth it.
World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys should be called “British Railways”, because the series stretches on about tracks mostly in britain and rest of europe. Bill Nighy’s naration is also sleep inducing.
