Yay and nay in series

No matter how much you might enjoy a series, there are still things that can really annoy you. For example, having to wait too long for new episodes, but also the storyline becoming too drawn out or not understanding something anymore (hello ‘Lost’, this one is for you. Such a shame how you ended). The yay's and nay's of series: they exist. And here are those of our favorite shows in the editorial office:

This Is Us

YAY: Read this but. Clear?

NAY: You have to cry at every episode. And this, ladies, is bad for your mascara. Even my waterproof mascara suffers from it.

Game of Thrones

YAY: Because hallelujah, so much intense stuff happens here; every episode has something shocking and unexpected and nobody is safe in this series. It's a bit like Expeditie Robinson. Every time it's a question of who makes it to the next episode. Speaking of Expeditie Robinson; have you already voted for Kiki?

NAY: You have to wait an excruciatingly long time before you can finally watch a new season. And then it's only ten episodes long – the latest season even only seven!!. GoT., WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!

The Bachelor

YAY: No, I still don't feel ashamed of my intense love for this guilty American reality show. This is just wonderfully vulgar and sometimes you need that in your life.

NAY: Because it's really crazy that people get engaged after only knowing each other for a few weeks and not even spending 24 hours together without a camera.

House of Cards

YAY: The twists are grand. ‘Everything that happens is unexpected,’ according to our Adeline.

NAY: Around season four, the pace slows down a bit.

Half of them are gone, deceased (McDreamy and McSteamy, how come?!) or sick

The Crown

YAY: You discover British history in a different way. You experience Charles as a young boy, the setting is fantastic, the cast, the costumes… Check it out here.

NAY: It's somewhat superficial, you secretly expect even more drama and so you wait until they reach the next era.

Grey’s Anatomy

YAY: To use the words of our Theo: ‘There is always a lesson in every episode and you follow the characters from their very first day as interns until they are real doctors themselves.

NAY: Half of them suddenly disappear or die (McDreamy and McSteamy, how come?!).

Pretty Little Liars

YAY: A typical case of just zoning out.

NAY: Point 1: there have already been a thousand different A's and yet they continue to be stalked and threatened. For some reason, no one ever ends up in jail. Point 2: why do the ladies always wear heels? Haven't they figured out by now that they should wear flat shoes since they always have to run from crazy people chasing them?

GTST

YAY: You can miss months of the series and be completely caught up again after just one episode.

NAY: Meerdijk is definitely the strangest place in all of the Netherlands. It's a city but also a village. They have a lake, a beach, rivers, a huge publishing company, the mega hotel De Rozenboom where international celebrities come… And at the same time, they only have one pub. WE DON'T GET IT.

And yet, we all continue with binge-watching...
