I’m not a Downton fan, and think shows about the travails of the set upon landed aristocracy are, at best, blasé.
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.
the great thing about art is no one can tell anyone what “good” and “bad” art is, no matter who you are. i’m glad you respect and appreciate it, but i’m still calling it dreck
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.

true. to me, quality doesn’t save something from being drek, nor does it make something dreck. it’s about the experience.
Ah, that’s it then.
To me, “drek” is low quality, high output stuff. Interesting difference of definition.
