It's really not just one show unfairly picked out. This isn't 80's/90's Channel 4 anymore, the scales tipped and the commercially safe, and often bland, programming vastly outnumbers the genuinely old school ''channel 4'' stuff. They project this image of it being all 'It's A Sin' and none of that generic stuff that everyone else does but it’s mostly 'Britain’s Best Beach Huts' filling the schedules just like everyone else.
Trashy titles aren't new or edgy either. BBC Three used to get absolutely slated for that back in the day.

The title may sound trashy but you want something to stand out on the EPG so people will watch it, which they did.
