I don’t want to stop interest in UK TV, however I have seen a few questions about UK TV recommendations (maybe not all in this sub).
I remember seeing this happen a lot in the UK TV subs on Reddit which always ended up being the same 20 shows giving a low signal to noise, so I was wondering whether we could preempt it by making a mega thread to point people to to improve the quality of recommendations. Perhaps have some rules, such as only a single show per comment so people can vote on what they did or didn’t enjoy and end up with a ranked list?
Other thoughts I had were a mega thread per type of show, so popular sitcoms or police procedurals don’t drown out interesting dramas, and therefore an index pinned to point people to?
[Edit] Maybe each comment should contain the location where it can be watched? Might be hard as region restrictions mean that folks outside the UK wouldn’t add iPlayer URLs.
My suggestion would be a pinned post with links to the various recommendations threads.
Link aggregators aren’t really the best platform for this but it’s a start and avoids duplication.
They’re not, but questions will still keep coming in and improving the quality of the answers is important (at least for me).
Otherwise it’ll end up like Reddit where an American asks, and we just get the same 5 shows repeated in a different order.
More of a meta thread would be my pick:
So one pinned post that points to the various genres/types threads, like this for comedy.
