I am now finding myself severely affected mentally, by the plots in TV programmes. Sometimes for opposite reasons.
Last night, or should I say this morning. I watched an episode of a touch of frost, from midnight to 2am. I couldn't sleep after that.
The main plot was kidnapping & murder and some petty unpleasant characters. I was watching and waiting for further twists and turns in the plot. That never came. The bad guys were predictable and awful, the police were third rate and inept. And I was very upset and disturbed .
Last month I was equally upset when watching the final episode in series one of the American /Canadian drama, 'Mary kills people '. There the problem was that the final twist in the episode took me totally by surprise.
So a predictable plot upsets me and an unpredictable twist also upsets me.
I'm in a mental mess and can't sleep.
Does anyone else find some programmes which are meant to be funny not at all amusing? I'm thinking of "You've been Framed" in particular. My children like it, but I usually end up leaving the room.
Some of the clips of cute animals are entertaining, but I remember one clip of a hamster falling off a table because it had a large biscuit in its mouth and couldn't see where it was going. All I could do was wonder whether it had survived the fall or been injured.
I have no idea why it's seen as hilarious when a man gets hit in the n**s by something, for instance, or why an adult leaping out unexpectedly at a small child to make them scream in fear is acceptable. What am I missing?
I have a warped sense of humour that few people get.
Sometimes I am watching serious discussions ( sometimes politics) on TV and I find them hilarious.
