Andor season 2, doesn’t catch on after 4 episodes. Done with it.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Arrested development and it's always sunny.

I really don't care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

Lost.

god help me it was so fucking boring and riddled with holes. I still don't understand how it was so popular.

[–] oneser@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago

Altered Carbon. I couldn't get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.

[–] splount@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Game of Thrones.

The incest didn't bother me, but pushing a child out a window hit the wrong note with me and my wife.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

The incest didn't bother me

Uh...

The Sopranos

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Same! I gave it way more time than it deserved because so many people raved about the show. For me, it was like a snail-paced soap opera about the least likeable people in the world.

Firefly. I thought I could stomach sci-fi but I find it unwatchable for personal reasons. I wish I could but it's not for me.

Buffy.

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

[–] euAppleHater@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 3 days ago

conservative white people love the show.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago

It didn't intrigue me but the old white guys at work like it so I knew there was something wrong with that show

The Mandalorian.

Succession.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I love the Mandalorian, but the people on succession were all just so horrible that I couldn’t stomach watching it anymore. I didn’t wanna be around thoseawful awful people.

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.

Friends

Seinfeld

Yellowstone

The Office

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This might be the only time in my life that I have ever heard someone say they didn't like Seinfeld. Never thought I'd see the day.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

We run in different circles. Quite a few people I know hate the show

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think you're supposed to like Yellowstone. I think you're supposed to feel obligated towards it

The Office season 1 is dogshit

The rest is excellent
