    Disagree on Pizza- overhyped and overpriced (in UK) A proper wood oven fired Italian Pizza (forget U.S. 'bastardisations' like deep pan, filled crust etc.) is a thing of beauty.

    Agree re Gin cocktails... Distillers carefully mix aromatics to achieve the specific unique flavour to each gin so why 'kill' those flavours adding other things apart from tonic and lime (or an olive in the case of a Martini)
    Drink cocktails by all means but use bland vodka for the base or Tequila for things like Margaritas

    The rest of the list I also agree with 100%

    EDIT: I don't get people's 'love in' over Van Morrison or the Smiths but just my opinion. The former pretty bland songs. Oh! and Oasis a poor 'knock off' of a specific period in the Beatles era. ( although they wrote a few decent 'anthems')

    Ozarks - watched the first 2 seasons, bored with it now, that blue washed out filming technique really grinds my gears.

    Scandinavian Nordic Noir crime dramas - boring. I'm currently watching Black Sands because I want to go to Iceland, but FkMe, its hard work.

    I mean the series tried watching a couple of episodes on UKTV over Christmas and couldn't get into it. Seemed over the top.

    I would agree in a theatre, tho I'd never seen one, but when we were in Verona, Carmen was on at the Colosseum, really was an amazing experience.
    But over 3 hours on a stone seat, so just the once.

    What?!!!

    Regarding the last two, unless you have come across a nest of very strange people I am not sure many even 'rate' them let alone 'overrate' them? ;)
