• What made you want to watch these shows (cast, channel, storylines, reputation of show, recommendation from friends, press hype)? Explain your decision fully
• Did you find the drama believable? 
• Is believability or realism important?
• Did you find the characters relatable?
• What factors impacted or your enjoyment or lack of enjoyment?
