I'm not a Downton fan, and think shows about the travails of the set upon landed aristocracy are, at best, blasé. (Edit: and how perfect and good the lords are, understanding, forgiving, getting along with everyone and removing social systemic strife... It's frustrating and I dislike it.)
But Downton was not "drek" it was well acted and shot at least and was made with care. Not for me nor do I agree with it overall, but it wasn't a "bad" show.
Ya, the show is almost worth watching just for the wardrobe
No, no one can. And we can both not like it together.
But I do think that the distinction between "I like/enjoy this" and "this is poorly made/low quality" (and also "I hate the obnoxious ever-present fans of this") is of value to maintain.
Maybe we just use drek differently. Frisky Dingo, is, I think, drek to some degree - but I liked it when I watched it.
I'm probably being overly pedantic and picky. Sorry. Hate away.
Ah, that's it then.
To me, "drek" is low quality, high output stuff. Interesting difference of definition.
