I think its a better week to week show and really suffers if you try and binge it.
I also agree with what someone else said that if there isnt someone on the season you are a fan of that season is going to suck.
I read the title as Ticketmaster and was like "yo bro is trolling. Nobody likes Ticketmaster."
I think it was a fun show and refreshing at first. Got a bit played out
I enjoy Taskmaster, but I can also see where you're coming from.
And I've got a couple of new to me shows to check out!
I really enjoyed the first 8 seasons, watching with my wife, laughing uproariously.
But it's really run out of fresh ideas and ways to go.
Now, sadly, I defrenestrate quite depressingly.
Have tried to defenestrate with a smile? It's much less depressing that way.
I prefer game changer as my comedian torture entertainment show
I enjoy them both, but I feel they are different enough. British humour can be a hard thing to grasp, but the thing I really appreciate is the season long points and the consistent cast.
I'd like to study your brain so upvote.
I personally love Taskmaster, but I can see why you’d hate it, so I’m not sure it’s an unpopular opinion
I can't binge it, but it is fun as it comes out. Helps to be a little drunk.
Wait, if we upvote does Lemidaub get to take your brain? I'm sort of torn. It's "reality" TV, after all. It's a pretty popular thing to hate on, because it's shit.
Bad idea, don't let me do it, I'd just put it in my fridge and procrastinate until it's mush like the cucumber next to it.
Also, how is it "reality TV"? It's a game show.
I thought it was that weakest link or something. I gave up on TV a long time ago unless there's a good looking series that's complete to binge.
My bf loves these shows, and I just kind of...passively watch occasionally just to spend time with him.
My enjoyment depends on who is on it, I have started watching seasons and give up after an episode or two, others I look forward to every week
I have been a fan of Taskmaster since the beginning, but in the last few UK seasons I totally agree with your sentiment.
However, I think that AU and NZ Taskmasters are still great. Way better than the UK one!

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/
