在各類電視節(jié)目多如牛毛的時代，有時候我們會發(fā)現一些節(jié)目口碑并不佳，但收視率卻也不低，罵的人多看的人也多。有人說，之所以看一檔很爛的節(jié)目就是為了更好地批評它。這樣的觀看行為好像國內外還都不少呢。
Hate-watching (also often appearing as hatewatching) is the activity of regularly watching a television program which you think is extremely bad, and doing so specifically because you have the intention of criticizing it, from which in turn you derive a considerable amount of pleasure. People who partake, dubbed hate-watchers, don't usually do so in isolation, but communicate their feelings via social media to a group of like-minded viewers, who revel together in the opportunity to grumble about the program's inadequacies.
Hate-watching（也可以拼作hatewatching）指定期觀看一檔你認為非常爛的電視節(jié)目，這樣做是為了對這個節(jié)目提出批評，而你則從中得到極大的滿足感，我們可以稱之為“批評式觀看”。這樣的觀眾被稱為“批評式觀眾”，而且他們并不是單獨行動，而是通過社交媒體與持有相同觀點的其他觀眾一起交流，他們?yōu)檫@個目的聚在一起，肆意聲討那檔節(jié)目的不足之處。
But it's not just TV programs that can be hate-watched, but also the people or characters within them. Sometimes a show might be basically okay, but contain one particular annoying or unconvincing character which will allow viewers to indulge in smaller bouts of hate-watching. And of course reality shows invariably provide a raft of individuals from which hate-watchers can pick and choose – the self-important candidates in the BBC's Apprentice series are a classic example of hate-watchable types.

不過，批評式觀看并不限于電視節(jié)目，節(jié)目中的某個人或角色也有可能成為批評觀看的目標。有時候，某檔節(jié)目可能大體上還不錯，只是有一個特別惹人厭惡或不具說服力的角色會讓觀眾小規(guī)模地進行批評觀看。當然，真人秀從來都能為批評式觀眾提供大量可供選擇的批評對象，英國廣播公司的求職真人秀節(jié)目《學徒》里面那些自命不凡的選手就是典型的可供批評觀看的對象。
