Now that I know your definition of over-rated, I am able judge your posts on such matters accordingly.

On my last post, I tried to be polite by acknowledging the points you, I did it to try and stop this from carrying on. I will take that back now, seeings as you chosen to be so rude. I also thank you for given me the opportunity to bite. Cheers.
Let me explain what "over-rated" means, just to repay your kindness.
I did not like (it did not appeal to me, if you prefer) Game Of Thrones. If I were to review it (or give critical analysis) I would give it 5 out of 10 stars. I would only give it 5 stars because when I watched it again after reading the first book, it made yearn to go back to the original source, even a half decent adaptation should be able to do this. Critical analysis on IMDB gives it 9.5 stars. This therefore makes the show over-rated in my eyes.
Banshee was acceptable enough. I would give it 6.5 out of 10. It was hardly an original plot, there were no really challenging acting scenes in it, but it was well paced and well directed, pretty well scripted and even pulled out a few surprises during the first series. The ending was weal. It was also predictable from the moment we found out who Rabbit was. A weak ending designed purely to prolong a story line is very poor indeed. Critical analysis on IMDB gives the show 8.3 stars, even though I found the show acceptable, the show is still over-rated in my eyes.
Seinfeld is acceptable enough but I would only give it 7.5 out of 10. Critical analysis gives it 9/10. Over-rated in my eyes.
The Tunnel, awful remake in my eyes. Only lasted 3/4 shows via on demand. 4 out 10 for me, IMDB 7.7 out of 10.
I also disliked the woeful "will work for money" attempt at new Alan Partridge and the boring Mr Sloane. I don't need to watch Penny Dreadful to know that I will dislike it immensely, due to its ridiculous plot. The less said about star trek the better, too. I could list more shows, but I am writing more than enough currently.
Am I making my point clear yet?
Given the money spent on the channel, all its hype, and the numerous shows I have tried and thought were over-rated, I am still happy to call SA over-rated.
BTW, should everyone who dislikes a show and offers poor critical analysis, just say that they disliked it, but still give it high marks just because others rate it higher?
Hopefully this link to other people who are also confused between the meaning of over-rated and does not appeal to them will work for you to see. Perhaps you would care to point out their confusion to them too, and also tell them they must acknowledge GOT is good because others rate it higher than them?!?

I welcome your response, but I am done with this.
