I would watch this. Especially if it was an angry Brit, rather than a dramatic American. And even more if it didn't keep replaying the same 5 minutes of telly before and after each ad break. And even more if it didn't have an ad break every 10 minutes that lasted 5 minutes.

    right? I don't watch TV because of all this crap. I don't understand how some people have the patience, honestly.

    Frog in pot is my guess. I haven't watched ad supported television for like 20 years now and it is so jarring when I'm in someone's house and an ad comes on.

    Our public TV has no midroll ads, only between programs, and I'm so happy I can use a guide and usually find something to watch when eating and get no ads. But I'm also watching the endless reruns of a series I like, so that's also not difficult to get.
