Depressing, banal, toxic show about a total bunch of utter losers
I remember my mum watching this miserable show when I was a kid in the 90's, and how engrossed she used to get into it.She would tell me to shut up if I talked to her while she ironed my stepdad's clothes while watching this crap, her eyes glued to the telly. It was apparently that interesting and good to her.
I could never understand how she liked it so much. Even as a kid, well, a young teen, I found Eastenders to be incredibly badly acted, gloomy and basic.
Now as a 25 year old, It seems even worse.
I couldn't believe it when I decided to watch an episode after years (about 10) of not seeing Eastenders, only to find that it was EXACTLY the same, but with new faces.
People bitching, yelling, arguing, fuming, more bitching.......
What a bore fest.
I study film making and make my own films now, and I have noticed all the camera work, editing and delivery of lines in Eastenders is still exactly the same and everything is 100% predictable.
For example, a character has some breaking news to tell his/her mate but just as he/she is about to tell all, the phone rings....or someone knocks at the door. Give me a f ucking break.
No one in 'Enders' has any ambition or desire to leave the utter $hit hole that is Albert Square, because then, really, they wouldn't be in in the show.
You get all the same, boring places filmed over and over again, the same kind of dialogue, the same ugly, one dimensional characters. LAME.
You have these so called actors being paid a sweet wage each week to play THEMSELVES. No one in Eastenders can act to save their lives.
The bottom line is, Eastenders is a talent-less, 2 bit soap that caters to sad, brainless morons.
I $hit on Eastenders. I hate it. Same goes for Corrie and the rest.
score 1/10
