It’s the third time this week someone has mentioned ‘Call the Midwife!’… I may have to check it out. I know what you mean about becoming absorbed in a show – this happened to me with The Handmaid’s Tale and Homeland!
Wonderful, rich vocab @Elena (I especially appreciate the words highlighted in green.)
Watch out when using ‘very’ > Adjectives like irrelevant are what we call ‘Absolute Adjectives’. This means that is generally not capable of being intensified or compared. Therefore we don’t use ‘very’ with these kinds of adjective.
You could say ‘largely irrelvant’
