The Hack is an upcoming British true-crime ITVX television series detailing the News International phone hacking scandal. Set between 2002 and 2012, the series examines two real life stories, the work of Nick Davies, a journalist who uncovered evidence of phone hacking at the News of the World, a now defunct British newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch, as well as the investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan, a private investigator.
At the end of the day we're all different, and I ignore ratings. Just because everyone on IMDB loves a show doesn't mean I will. Just because Rotten Tomatoes gives a film 100% doesn't mean it's great - to me.
I watch things because I'm either drawn to them for some reason or I just fancy watching them. If a friend with similar tastes to me recommends a TV show or a film then that's a bit different, but it's no guarantee I will agree with them.
But votes and users ratings... Nah.
Totally agree with graybags. Fancy that........an Aussie agreeing with a Pom!! Wonders will never cease. :P
Come on, I bet we both agree Fosters tastes like piss :)
Actually........ALL BEER tastes like piss!!!! Jack Daniel's is my poison. Cheers. ;)
Ha ha, mine too! Jack and coke and Guinness, that's all I drink. Cheers :)

Agreed................but ratings mean shit!! YOU either like it or not..simple.
Ratings, to me, are more about popularity than anything else. I am not sure there is such a thing as a totally objective viewer. You might think a show that gets a 9/10 is objectively a great show, but there are those that will say its not.
Yes, but it's vital to mention that those 49k votes equal only 2% of user ratings, underlining that it's a quality show. :)
Shows that are less good most often have a higher 1/10 percentage, Citadel: Diana for example 5.9%.
I TOTALLY disagree lighton.........let's say EVERY person in the world rated a show a 10, EVERYONE, it might make it a popular show but it doesn't mean that it's a GOOD show......nor a QUALITY show for that matter.

Back to The Hack, I am midway through 1x6 and finding it to be a very good watch. I would describe it as a political drama with some police procedural and crime elements.
