How TV Ruined Your Life S1E4P2

Charlie Brooker explores the gulf between real life and television. From Blind Date to rom-coms, TV has warped our expectations of romance, but do 'soulmates' even exist?

@joetheplumber22 Except this show doesn't really offer any advice. It just says the advice you get on tv is crap.

"I think that jealousy has nothing to do with caring." THE FUCK IS SHE ON ABOUT?!?

[Denta92]

Breaking up with someone through any other way than face to face is indecent, disrespectful and extremely cowardly, unless the other deserved it (he/she cheated on you) or if it's a long distance relationship.

this is fucking hilarious

@SentinelConvergence Damn right. Most stuff that Brooker highlights I laugh off, but that show just seems... malicious. Without going into detail I relatively recently broke up with a woman after just over five years together. We did it face to face with honesty and dignity and it STILL was the most painful and personally devastating situation I've ever been through.

So seeing it done like THAT, it seems full of intent to completely destroy a person's sense of trust.

@Insubordinate90 I do wonder how far out of his way Brooker went to stop her seeing this. XD
