Best movie ever!

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I've never witnessed someone so desperately happy when surrounded by the misery of human suffering, the glee in his eye when someone's cheated, bullied or lied to etc is quite scary. He genuinely seems to get off on people's misery.I recently watched a 'special' episode, and even surrounded by some remarkable and wonderful human beings he managed to make it all about him, and got lost in his own conceit.It really does show the true fundamental problems in the UK right now.A mix of nice and awful people on the stage, I just wish he could be a little bit nicer to the decent ones, he's gotten worse as the years have gone on, he seemed to be a little nicer when he started out.Some of the stories are quite engaging, I've learned a few things that I was formerly unaware of, it's just him, and his ego. 3/10

This programme is presented by a self-important, repetitive silly man who seems to like making money out of less well educated people's misery.Whilst I realise that his victims seem to like to be exploited for some strange reason, as I do not know the background to this so-called show, I think that he is the ring-master, commanding a bunch of vulnerable clowns.Perhaps if he were to become more honest about his own personal background, we, the viewing plebes, might be able to make a more informed judgement.Does anyone out there agree with me?

Most of the reviews of this program justifiably point out its seamier elements - the willful exploitation of guests unable to deal with domestic problems and equally unable to express themselves, the sanctimonious host dispensing abuse and compassion in equal measure, and the general atmosphere of sleaziness that pervades the entire experience. At the same time we might wonder why the program has run so long, given its shortcomings. Is it because there is a perverse appetite for this kind of "entertainment"? Or does THE JEREMY KYLE SHOW operate on the same basis as THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW; the more salacious the content, the more aggressive the participants, the better the ratings? Or is it simply because this is daytime television, whose standards - ever since it was introduced into Britain in the mid-1980s - have been far from high? I don't think the program's longevity has anything to do with this; to me it resembles one of those medieval entertainments, such as the bear-pit or the dog-fighting arena, in which spectators witness the protagonists ripping one another apart, egged on by the host (who knows perfectly well what he is doing). You may hate the idea of this kind of entertainment, but it still exists, and attracts a great number of punters.

I love this show, i know a lot of people take it very seriously, and personally i think thats wrong. Most of the guests are on the lower end of the human scale. Jeremy kyle confronts and confides in these people and families and tries to engage the front-end of treatment which is then passed on to his aftercare team, most of the people are long term alcoholics or abusers who in general have dependents. So i have very little or no respect for these people. In my view this is an entertainment show, perhaps its wrong to laugh, but i do most of the time although there is the odd show that is both un-funny and not interesting to watch, although thankfully thats a rare problem. The show is especially entertaining if Jeremy (kyle) becomes irritated with the quests, generally the more useless ones. Overall i really enjoy this show as an entertainment show. 10/10
