Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
The lip implants rarely look good.
Have you considered watching English or Scandinavian shows?
I haven't. Can you recommend a good one?
Detectorists
QI (if you like Stephen Fry, British humour, and learning random facts). Most of the guests are pretty "normal people" looking. Except when Victoria Coren Mitchell is on. She always look fabulous.
Thanks!
The Gentlemen is pretty good. The movie or the show. Fuck, anything by Guy Ritchie. He's good at showing the dirty edges of things as well as the pretty.
Thanks!
Eh, didn't really like it.
Props to Guy for pretty much sticking to the same exact formula for 25 years though.

Snatch, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are the highlights.
Inside No. 9 is excellent, along the same lines as Black Mirror, but comedy
Peep Show if you're into humour as dry as sandpaper. It definitely has peopley people.
Taskmaster. Pretty sure it's all on YouTube.
I liked Plebs, The IT Crowd and Peep Show, all comedy and not too recent.
The IT Crowd is ridiculously good. We've watched it all the way through twice. So funny.
The IT Crowd is so good!
Bodies on Netflix. Not great, but entertaining.
Thanks!
Not who you're asking but watch Forbrydelsen, it's great and everyone on it is real looking.
Thanks!
Some old ones to add (and some have Hollywood remakes now) BUT:
... Just now realizing I lean heavily toward darker subject matter for foreign movies...
Man, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was fucking brutal. Not my style of movie at all. To this day I'm still like, "why did I watch that?"
If you like comedy, Ghosts is amazing. The first episode is a bit dark and not very entertaining, but starting with EP 2, it becomes amazing.
