Advantages: easy watching, good comedy, strong characters

Disadvantages: bit more realism would be better

What an amazing place Emmerdale is to live in. No longer just a farming community, there's a shop/cafe, pub, garage, antique shop (is that still there?) and a B&B, a vets practice, refuse firm, mobile cleaning firm and of course the Home Farm Estate and it's many invented jobs! Wouldn't it be great to live in a village like this where those businesses keep the entire village in work?

Characters in Emmerdale rarely face serious hardships or problems, with the odd exception the writers seem to just touch on subjects but not fully explore them. This I think is one of the reasons so many people watch Emmerdale, escapism. It's funny, Betty and co provide regular laughs, Val and Eric are a great comic duo, and any serious issues are usually resolved quite swiftly which we all know isn't the way of the real world!

Emmerdale community forgive anything, no matter what a character has done it all comes good in the end and they're forgiven which can get rather annoying as that's not true to life at all. Obviously there was the plane crash which I don't think I need to elaborate on..!

But on the whole, it's easy watching and mostly feel good. There's eye candy for both men and women which makes a change and plenty of comedy.

Summary: Nice way to wind down in the evening
