Is this show a complete pile of cr@p or do I hate it so much just because James Cordon is in it.?

I love Gavin & Stacey. Can't understand the hate for James Cordon in this as he's great as Smithy. I think it's ironic that the two weakest characters are Gavin and Stacey but they're just a vehicle for Nessa, Smithy, and the Barry/Essex groups. The Essex crowd is perfect, can't vouch for the Barry lot though
The stereotypical Welsh accents are awful, no-one in Barry talks like the girlfriend in it or her mother and the old woman next door. Poor acting, Barry people have got a stronger Cardiff accent than us Cardiffians Annoying that any Welsh person depicted on the telly never portrays the very different accents that we have in Wales, it’s always the ‘Hiya butt’ accent. Decent actors study and perfect things like this, sadly, Gavin & Stacey is lacking in decent actors (on the Welsh side of it). Rob Brydon should swerve it and stick to ‘Would I Lie To You’.
This sounds like a ‘I hate this very popular musician/band threads’.
Yet the last Christmas episode in 2019 is one of the most watched TV programmes of the 21st century. Quite a remarkable achievement for a programme that struggled to get half a million viewers in its first series.
What’s the feelings on “THE TUCKERS”
I like it. It seems to be on all the bloody time though.
Great series.
It's not just James Corden that grates, as himself and Smithy, Ruth Jones's character too.
The show itself is easy watching and was okay when it first came out.
Was quite nice to see a few well known landmarks in it too.
Seen the odd episode on the many repeats since release but I find it cringeworthy now, especially the Welsh characters.
Where is it well documented? I couldn’t find anything other than them refuting some stories about a fall out. I certainly couldn’t find any reference to Horne referencing him as a tool?
I spent a large part of my life before university between Dinas, Penarth, Sully and Barry then moved away and ultimately became an expat…The entire family here loves Gavin & Stacey (there’s probably a ton of nostalgia in there for us too)and the number of Canadians our kids have converted is countless
