What the audience says
EastEnders is a hard series to make a case for on current ratings. It carries a 4.3/10 on TMDB across 230 ratings — under the line most people draw.
Is it worth starting?
This is 42 seasons deep — English soap with a drama streak, fine for the whole family. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 4.3/10 across 230 ratings — audiences haven't taken to it, so go in curious rather than expectant.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
