May 8May 8 Day 8: Most misunderstood character you like or relate to: Boruto UzumakiLike, an obvious one. Screw all the elitists and tourists lol. (Not saying I defend Mikio Ikemoto's incompetency as the illustrator and storyboard writer though. He's still the least good mangaka of all the manga I've read so far.)

I stuck with it until the end because I had nothing better to watch but I can't believe they dragged it out for ten series. It was never as good as it was in the beginning from around series 4 onwards but it should have ended when the Garveys left.

It was never as good as it was in the beginning from around series 4 onwards but it should have ended when the Garveys left.It did get less and less funny - I think going to an hour was the first issue - the first couple of series' going to an hour were ok, but then when things went awry the runtime just didn't help. The actor playing Mel dying really hit the show quite a bit - but then the Garvey's went and the actor playing Donald also died. It definitely outstayed its welcome
May 8May 8 Author I did have to check if they were always hour episodes or not I put it on on Netflix one night and was wondering why the episode seemed to be going on for a while; definitely no justification for adding to the runtime when the quality was slipping majorly. Agree on Donald. Although Jacqueline remained funny on her own and probably one of the only good constants for the last few series', Donald's absence was definitely felt and they were fumbling trying to think of ways to keep her part of what was going on.

It felt more clinical and lifeless, from the set to the judging line-up (Torvill and Dean are just not compelling personalities, it was better when they were mentors as opposed to judges). The list of winners since the revival is slightly depressing too.I don't know if Miles from Looking for Alaska is misunderstood as such, perhaps he is initially by some of the characters, but I definitely relate to him more than any other character. The autism traits are very identifiable and Charlie Plummer's performance only strengthens how likeable and naive Miles is.

May 8May 8 Day 8: Most misunderstood character you like or relate to: Skyler White (Breaking Bad)I don't relate to her or anything, but she was portrayed excellently and way waaay overhated (despicably so in some cases) in a clear example of online misogyny, I'm not sure how one could be judged so harshly for not acting entirely rational when finding out your husband's turned into a murderous drug kingpin.

It's a striking instrumental and suits the scene well, where Theo's in a pretty bleak situation.Also I remember watching Teletubbies and Tweenies as a kid, peak viewing, and I had the toys too Po was always my fave x

Although so far in RTD2 it's felt like the soundtrack is just a bit of a rehash of Murray Gold's greatest hits from the show we've had some absolutely beautiful instrumentals, and one that always sticks out to me is Together or Not At All (below) and the score when River reveals her identity.

May 11May 11 Day 9: Favourite TV soundtrackI'm trying not to repeat shows (would be Twin Peaks if so), so I'll go with Game of Thrones, can't get more epic than that opening theme.Day 10: Earliest memory of watching a TV showIt was probably Teletubbies for me too, but as it's been mentioned, I'll go with similar chart topping legend, Bob the Builder xDay 11: Funniest moment or scene in a TV show There's probably many I can't quite recall, but this scene from the Simpsons always stands out to me (although the whole episode is hilarious) 😅

May 11May 11 Day 12: Favourite love triangle in a TV show: Taiki, Chinatsu & Hina (Blue Box)Honestly, had this been held 8 months earlier, my answer would've still been the classic Your Lie in April, but Blue Box was something else 5-6 months ago. Edited May 12May 12 by CowTzy

And do Pam/Jim and their respective others count from The Office? idk so I've gone for one that's genuinely had me really invested across both seasons and had me rooting for both the boys at different points (but ultimately always being team Jeremiah x) when they've shown vulnerabilities.

If a guy I find good looking shows interest in me and seems kind, best believe I'm falling for him x

One of the most despicable, love-to-hate villains I've seen in a TV show in a long time. Thinking of Cobra Kai for this one has kinda made me feel like I could've also had Kreese for my misunderstood character, like damn his storyline across all six seasons was brilliant.
