Almost all of them.
The office and Big Bang Theory. The office wasn’t funny at all, more of a boring, and same with BBT, too nerdish to keep going, Sheldon was somehow funny.
Same. Curated clips get the point across and are enough.
sex and the city , Seinfeld, and friends
Arcane. Despite all the writers effort to create emotional investment it was like someone’s D&D backstory for their edgy rogue
Would you mind naming a couple shows you actually do like? As a huge Arcane fan, I’m intrigued to hear what you consider good.
Sure: JoJo’s bizarre adventure, Delicious in Dungeon, Star Trek DS9, Bob’s Burgers.
Delicious in dungeon was spectacular :o
Thanks. I agree with most of those. Idk what I was expecting. Just never known anyone who’s seen Arcane and didn’t like it, so I expected some wild picks I guess.
Spartacus. I had never heard of it until I stopped by a friend’s house and they had it on. They told me it was neat and showed me the scene they were watching. Like clockwork, the scene immediately changed to full frontal dick. My friend downplayed saying that happens once or twice, his wife piped up and said nah it happens every episode with a grin on her face. They continued to talk about how many dicks are in the show and i just couldn’t be bothered to investigate on my own.
Breaking Bad. It’s too painful. Jessie is so dumb I can’t watch it. Walter’s motivations are also so randomized… it all drives me banana nuts.
for sure had to power through and skipped a lot of episodes. Better call saul o the other hand was nice till it got to the end. Hated every bit of that phase.
Big Bang Theory
Didn’t work for me. So dull. Felt like it was made twenty years earlier than it was.
BBT is critically acclaimed in the same way the Big Mac is the world’s most popular burger.
Also mostly sex jokes disguised as smart people humor. It quickly gets old.
Haha xbox means nerds means smart means genius
Peaky blinders - I love this era with movies and what not but this show just didn’t hit for me
Incredibly gorgeous visuals, incredibly meh series.
Gangs of London. The Gentlemen. Game of Thrones.
Breaking bad.
Same. I watched maybe half of the first episode and then left to go fold laundry and never finished the episode.
I caught the complete series 1 by accident in a TV marathon when I have never heard of it before.
I was glued to the screen the whole night until 6am. It was so good. Probably my most memorable TV experience after the twist in from Dusk Till dawn.
I never really finished the series, I quit on series 3 or 4.
Im sure I have watched all episodes by now, but I lost interest, because a lot of the story fehlt dragged out too much, when the first series was constant progress.
White Lotus. Just couldn’t care about anything happening.
Ditto. Just didn’t do it for me
I tried to watch Downton Abbey with my wife. I can appreciate the acting, costumes, and sets, but I could really not have cared less about the minutiae of the lives of 1910s British upper class and their servants
Game of thrones, tried and failed at least twice
Hey, at least you didn’t have to suffer through the ending.
I only had to suffer through the ending, still makes me mad.
The story, if anyone is bored…
I was on a work retreat/hack-a-thon and the final episode was being broadcast that night. I’d tried and failed to find any part of game of thrones interesting in the past, I’d never seen a complete episode.
Everyone is there glued to the TV, I’m at the dinning room table trying to get some kind of work done, but ended up watching most of the episode.
What a massive pile of crap I thought to myself, no idea what these people are on about.
I’m glad everyone agreed it sucked, but really annoyed that is the only episode I’ve seen, and I will never waste my time on it.
The ending was THE BIGGEST like decade long letdown for everybody that watched it.
In my, and many others’ opinions, the show started out extremely strong, and slowly but surely got worse over time…
The show will remain good for many years.
If you want to give the show a fair shake, watch the first ep or first three.
The first season, maybe first two were my favorites and I think started to slowly nose down after that.
The first episode is mostly world building, the next few are where the meat and potatoes start really happening. After that, it’s more of the same, with who fucks it up and how and why, with it all being brilliantly written and tied together. But that first episode… It’s really not a fantasy show, it’s really a psycho political thriller.
Also, regarding the ending, the reason the least season was absolute garbage was because the ending wasn’t written, and STILL isn’t. The author is going to die before ending the series of books. The showrunners knew that, and steered the show in a way they thought the author might go, but it was smoking hot rancid garbage. The entire last two seasons were. They gave closure, I guess, but the show went from an imdb scale of high 8’s and high 9’s to literal 6’s and 5’s at the end. And it was so dark you couldn’t see anything. The rest of the show was actually gorgeous, full of intrigue and stress and wondering. Fuck all the rest of the “mmm i didn’t like it” shows in this post, GOT is something that, unless you really gave it a fair shake by watching the first ep or three and still didn’t like it, you’re missing out on, and really should watch.
If you do watch those eps and don’t like it, fine. But watching the garbage ending is not at all representative of a show that’s a domino effect of a political butterfly effect.
Mr. Robot. Finished season 1 and decided not my cup of tea. Hated every single character in it. Felt same way about White Lotus too.
I got a through a few episodes but just couldn’t go further. I never wanted to see any of the characters ever again
the office. the documentary/handheld camera style cinematography is nauseating to watch. see also: parks & rec and similarly-shot titles.
It took me several attempts to watch parks & rec. It ended up being one my favorite. I’ve tried The Office a couple times and couldn’t do it. Same with Sunny.
It’s Always Sunny wasn’t worth watching until season 3, imho and even then it had a lot of dead rubber.
