I looked forward with an expectation that finally Australia has a decent TV movie channel, after putting up with all the useless, unintelligent crap ‘movies’ that commercial stations and to a slightly lesser extent from ABC TV, have screened for the past 20+ years.
How disappointed I am, and it’s early days. The garbage that SBS World Movies are churning out is an insult to a reasonable person’s intelligence. I will not waste my time and effort with that crap anytime in the future. nd this is not just my opinion!
