Coronation Street

I've joyfully sat through some of the classic years on Britbox, 10/10 quality viewing, with glorious characters, uplifting storylines, it represented pure escapism, it was watched by huge audiences, it was wonderful.

Skip forward to 2020..........

What on Earth have they done to it, why on Earth do people watch it, what a horrible, trashy show. You wonder why on Earth people don't move away from the place, murder, arson, rape... Is this the teatime entertainment people want to sit down and watch? Clearly not, as millions have switched it off.

Dear writers, the occasional, big storyline is great, but every other week? Please tone it down, add a little more fun into it, you never know, people may switch it back on.

1990 9/10 2020 3/10

Fair score 6/10.

Watching an episode of coronation Street now is like watching a party political broadcast for the Green party, its covering too many topical subjects all at the one time. Watching TV should be a form of relaxing entertainments not constantly preaching about how to live our life's.

Is it really necessary to make every woman over the age of fifty a bumbling idiot. Gail and Sally have become impossible to watch, two once strong independent women are a pair of clowns and figures of fun.

Shame on you coronation street.

How rubbish some are Jack is appalling Sam is absolutely fantastic can't you at all look at your actors and even see how trash they are it is embarrassing to watch 30 years of cars I watched this season it's got to be the worst please try and do something about this it's atrocious.

Bobby coming into Corrie is the worse thing ever... he's awful only seen him in it twice and have already said if he's staying in it I won't watch again.. the way he acts is a joke... but not funny!!

No one acts like that and gets away with it, but it's so false so annoying !!

It's an instant turn off.

Get rid or get off!!!

And to think he can come into Corrie as soon as Peter left was a big mistake!!

The worse decision ever the worse acting the worse scenes.

Sorry but Corrie is trailing so far behind eastenders this has not helped at all.

I already want to turn over soon as he's I actually say out load oh no!!!

My mother was Scottish and my dad was British, so I was raised on watching Coronation Street. For the last 35 years (at least) not a week has gone by with catching up at the Rover's return. Unfortunately, here in Canada we seem to be quite behind the times, we are at the stage where Peter is revealed as a bigamist, Martin admits to the affair with Katie etc...etc... But I will continue to watch C.S.loyally. I'm addicted, and so is my wife of 10 years. She wasn't to fussy at the beginning but after watching now, it would be instant death if I didn't get her up at 8 a.m. for our 2 hour Sunday constitutional.

Our next trip to England we hope maybe for a tour of the set. It would be the icing on the cake, if I could surprise her with this holiday treat. Thanks for allowing me this moment to reflect on the great time we've had watching and will continue to watch our favorite show
