    Firefly. Amatuerish acting and plots that barely reached “Atomic Rifle” levels of sophistication don’t really sit well with me.

    Buffy.

    It was just a big sloppy plateful of Beverly Hills, 90210 with a small side salad of weird shit.

    Mr.Robot

    So much drugs, depression, late stage capitalism.

    Idk wtf I was watching. Too dark and too confusing. I thought I was watching a WW2 Holocause movie, the vibes was depressing AF.

    Did I mention the drugs?

    So. Much. Drugs.

    There were More Drug Scenes than Plot Scenes that I actually understood.

    (Maybe I just have a smooth brain who knows 🤷‍♂️)

      It’s a great series but I agree, there’s a lot of depressing vibes. I binged it recently and ended up being getting paranoid riding trains haha

      I watched it cause it was interesting to explore a scenario where the top 1% was targeted, especially considering what’s happening in the world right now.

      It gets so boring

      It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what’s his name dies in the desert.

        Yeah, I did attempt to watch it a couple of times when it was still airing new seasons, but those first couple of episodes were just so boring, I couldn’t get myself to continue.

        And then of course it ended with the known flop and then I lost all interest in even attempting gain.

    How I Met Your Mother. Most laugh track comedies I found barely tolerable at best but that show fucking sucked major ass and I don’t trust the judgement of anybody who liked that show.

    Game of Thrones. I stopped watching when Aquaman raped the blonde.

    Then I started reading the books. the rape scene was written slightly different, so…whatever. Then I got to the part where the brother/sister threw the boy out the window. Done. Violence against kids is my line.

      spoilers but if you had stuck around you get to see the guy who pushed him out the window get his comeuppance. he spends the next season as a prisoner of war and gets his sword hand cut off. it changes him almost completely

      but then again thats not the only scene in the series with violence against kids so maybe it was best to stop there

    Yellowstone. I wanted to like it because Americans riding horses and doing cowboy gun things is a vibe, and I wanted to get that without actually having to travel there and be around Americans. It’s just so bad though.

      They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

      • built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
      • marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

      It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…

      I also severely disliked it.

    The Orville.

    I’m sorry! I’m a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can’t stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn’t just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.

      if it wasnt in the show it wouldve been fine, but him being part of the cast makes the series questionable, hes not that good as actor, hes better at writing. ALso problems around him being involved with the writing has caused the series to barely make seasons in general, this has caused financial problems for some of the actors, and production too. having 36 episodes in 6 years is pretty bad. this was all from pallacki interview on michaels podcast.

      It started out being a Seth McFarlane show but quickly became a pretty legit sci Fi show. McFarlane has always been a Trekkie, he was even in Enterprise, so he actually tries to do right by it once he gets most of the Family Guy type humour out of his system

        I’m convinced that the only way he got it greenlit was by selling it as “family guy in space” even though that’s not what he wanted to do. So he hammed that up for the first couple of episodes to make the suits happy before phasing it out and making the show he actually wanted.

          That…makes a lot of sense lol. That’s exactly how it plays out, yeah. I think it’s a wonderful addition to Trekkie-type show catalogues, personally.

          Yeah, or that it wasn’t even sneaky, they just all agreed a couple of those episodes up front would broaden the appeal, and felt confident people would stick around once they got attached to the characters and into the sci-fi

      Would it help if I told you that his particular brand of humour stops being the focal point after a bit? Iirc it doesn’t last into the second season and is then replaced by actually thoughtful storytelling with light humour sprinkled on top.

        Maybe. I think I stopped watching after the social credit episode in the first season. Maybe I’ll check it out again if I ever have another reason to get Hulu.

        Thanks ^^

          I’ll be honest: I haven’t made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I’ve tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.

          And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don’t want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.
