Byker Grove 

Byker Grove is some sort of soap opera that had been run on BBC for a number of years. Set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the geordies have a good laugh, and also share bad times, with numerous people being killed on railway tracks or in fires in 'the Grove' which happen far too often to be actually true.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
