Ask Lemmy

Most recently, Yellowjackets and White Lotus. I watched the first 2 seasons of Yellowjackets because the premise was interesting, and I wanted to see what happened (how the rescue happened) but it turned into a hate watch for me by the end of the second season. It all felt pointless and super depressing with no moments of hope or levity at all. The introduction of random supernatural elements and magic felt like they were drifting into Lost territory, and I couldn't force myself to watch the third season after that.

White Lotus I tried rewatching because everyone seems to love it but I could never get past the first episode in the first season, everyone was so unlikeable and awful or totally ridiculous that I couldn't stomach spending more time with them.

The Boys. First season had raw charm with some cool punk tracks, then season two sterilised it and it seemed to become another day time TV show. Had a similar experience with Black Mirror once that got the American/Hollywood treatment. Always Sunny lost its charm when the gang went to Ireland. Aweful end to what was otherwise a good series. But I mostly dislike American TV.

Most of the adult animated shows (Rick and Morty, inside job, ect.) they're like a 15 year olds idea of what adults are.

All of them

This is going to sound very hipster, but pretty much anything that becomes super popular is too shallow or lowest-common-denominator to pique my interest. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule I've come to realize.

The Expanse but I'll try to give it another shot one day.

The first season shows 2 perspectives - detective in asteroid belt and some of the most bland, basic and incredibly uninteresting dude going somewhere. Just kept falling asleep during those scenes.

I heard the layer seasons are quite interesting so I hope to at least skim through it or read the books but tbh the first season feels like it ruined the world for me already.

Wheel of time just finished the latest season in the background and its fun just bad. I've tried reading the book before and it's pretty terrible nonsense too so my expectations were already quite low. I do find the main plot point of basically temu Buddhism and the Witcher cocktail very atractive but it's just so poorly executed. All characters are meaningless. The world has so many plot holes that the wheel might as well just stop rolling right there.

Carnival row - not sure if this counts but it really sucked past season 1. It felt like something was there but it was really ruined by poor writing and Cara Delevingne and her character are so incredibly bad it really ruined any chances the show might have had.

Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.
