Simple really, choose a film or tv show that you love and tell me the things about them that are bad. I'm interested to now what people think are the flaws of, say, Godfather 2. Let's see how objective you are.
What are the flaws in the stuff you enjoy?

Flaws= script, plot, acting and pretty much everything I would usually judge a movie by
Still loved it though

Numb3rs. The application of mathematics is supposedly pretty dire.
Dexter.
Excellent show but the idea that you could teach somebody with his proclivities to make moral judgements on who to kill and who not to?
I'm not buying that part.

The Sopranos - Janice fecking Soprano
All of the girls look like they're faking it.
Animated movies - I love them, but usually only the first half hour or so.
Lost:
You're finally in the same space as a man who has all the answers to exactly what the island is, why you are on it and the whole meaning behind this big struggle taking place why don't the two of you have a long conversation where he explains everything to you as if he were talking to a six year old?
Oh you're gonna ask him a completely irrelevant question?
Well done mate.

The Dark Knight-great film, but should have ended about 10 minutes or so earlier, and saved Two-Face for the next movie.
There's more wrong with this film than there is right with it, but I love it, why? I'm not sure. Possibly because it was my first glimpse of Richard Pryor...?
Sopranos - the shrink. I don't believe her. Partly it's her weird clipped voice, partly it's the script - there's no way any half-decent psychoanalyst would cross that many boundaries that quickly.
Curb - it lacks some sort of heart or soul or something indefinable.
The Wire - inevitable with such a large cast that you won't believe some. I don't believe Brother Mouzone (the character), or Bunny Colvin (the actor).
Rome - not crazy about the older Octavian.
Yes, Minister - the character of Bernard doesn't quite work, sometimes they need him to be clever and sometimes an idiot, and so he just swaps from one to the other.
Blackadder - I'm not mad about the Rik Mayall cameos, they've not aged well.
Network - Great, great film, way too many long threatrical monologues.
Midnight Cowboy - seems to lose a bit of structure towards the end
Life of Brian - the spaceship bit wasn't a great call, lads.
The Holy Grail - rubbish cop-out ending.
The Stone Roses - Quite simply a perfect album. Oh hang on, except for that backwards track.
The White Album - incredible album with a fair amount of dross on it.

Shaun of the Dead: Love it, but it got far too grim towards the end
Agree with that. Mouzone was the only flaw in an otherwise perfect show.
Vagina - the flaw is that it has a woman attached to it.
Rome - great series, which I still haven't had time to watch all of, but has a habit of building up to make you think something really dramatic and amazing is about to happen, and then instead there'll be about three episodes worth of watching a bunch of people sit around eating eating food and talking to each other in alleyways. Also, Lucius Vorenus looks and acts far too much like David Moyes.
MGS2 - Fantastically engrossing and weird. What the feck was the ending all about? Why do the nerd scientist pervert and his even more annoying sister have to be in it?

MGS in general-sometimes you really just want them to shut the fecking feck up.
I like this idea
Band of Brothers- quite literally, the only real flaw in this whole 10+ hour miniseries was the fact that Jimmy Fallon made a 30 second cameo
Arrested Development - season 3 bugged me a little bit. I think a number of the jokes and gags went over the top and weren't actually all that funny. Season 1 and 2 had that kind of stuff too (ie, Tobias as the housekeeper), but they were actually funny
The Office - when they started to focus and rely on the romance, it went down hill

The Mentalist - It's just really shit.... but i love it and am convinced Patrick Jane is a genius.
Breaking Bad - I just find it hard to accept Hank is cheating on Lois, especially with a woman who is questionably worse looking.

MILF i believe.
Oh I thought you were on about Walt's brother in BB. Anyway isn't Bryan Cranston's character in MITM called Hal?
No. Wash your eyes out heathen. Biscuit 5 Solius 4
Weed.When I'm done smoking every joint at my disposal
MOTD - Anyone who talks
As you were.
Lord of the rings - I don't like its promotion of homosexuality as it is contrary to my religious beliefs. I still love it though not in a homo way though.. cause that'd be wrong.
LoTR is good because a flaw, among other things, was that the last movie went on forever
The West Wing
what I hated about it? Was only 7 seasons long

I never thought she was a a pyschoanalyst, her methods sure didn't seem Freudian to me. That said my gripe with The Sopranos is more to with the ending than anything
Doctor Who - Cheesy, predictable, over the top nonsense. But I love it.
word, 86 hours of absolute perfection ends like that?
i'm still furious - i demand they do it again and properly this time
The Bill - this new, more adult, grittier format is bollox. The stories are no harder than before and the dialogue is exactly the same except everyones developed a sore throat all of a sudden. the script is still completely unrealistic but at least before there was a large tongue in cheek feeling about it and a lot more light hearted moments reminded you it wasn't really suppoed to be taken seriously which was what made it watchable. now it doesn't have those and is trying to be more serious and yet not a single criminal has told the police to feck off yet? its set in london not narnia ffs
Brokeback Mountain had too many sheep in it
Redcafe - I waste hours of time on here a week but still haven't even figured out why? Sometimes I just stare at the forum home page then refresh it again a few seconds later, as if I have nothing better or more productive to be doing. Basically, it makes me feel like a sad cnut.
Groundhog Day - Andie MacDowell.
The Thick Of It - The last season was weak in comparison to the 1st and the specials that had proceeded it. It was way too Malcolm-centric and Nicola Murray was no replacement for the Partridgesque Hugh Abbott character played by Chris Langham.

Thick of It - Became too reliant on Malcolm and his rants. As brilliant as it is, everything becomes almost an interlude between his scenes. It's hard to believe that his air of menace could have been cultivated by shouting alone.
