Match Of The Day
One Piece - with One Pace i got through the alabasta arc. The characters all have good back stories and motivations. I mean it is well written, but with how the stakes and emotional depth are managed it just feels like a sit-com. I want to like it more, but i just don’t foresee myself throwing it on again.
The Walking Dead. Felt more like the Talking Dead, the pacing was far too slow for me and it didn’t seem like much was happening.
I gave up in the first episode when a pair of cops drew their firearms, and the one said to the other “safeties off”. And the other cop just brushes the slide release because he was holding a Glock, which famously does not have a safety. I just couldn’t take it seriously after that.
Westworld. I started watching it twice, and both times I thought it was really good until I ran out of patience about not knowing what the hell was going on.
As much as I tried to get into it, I couldn’t get myself into Game of Thrones.
The Mandalorian
Noped out after season 1. They revealed his face during a filler episode, during a boring scene, instead of waiting an episode or two longer for the real gut punch reveal at the end of the last episode.
It was stupid. It killed what would have been one of the best face reveals in cinema history. I had no patience for the show after that. Almost didn’t bother finishing the rest of the season. I don’t really care what their reasons were. Contractual. Whatever. Don’t care.
Most of the popular ones. Especially Game of Thrones. As soon as the incestuous couple threw the little boy off the tower, I was outta there. I’m so tired of shows about horrible people doing horrible things.
!So that kid end up basically being the bad guy. Pretty much everyone would have been better off if he died!<
I completely understand and it took me three tries to get through the first few episodes… and then the biggest shock is that you end up partly understanding and feel these horrible people. At times, you may even root for some of them. It’s definitely taxing for most of us but that’s what makes it a great show.
I gave up on both Silo and Severence early on in Season 2, don’t know how popular they are in truth but the Reddit hive mind (or bots) downvote you almost immediately if you even say you don’t love them.
Rick & Morty. Then the whole szechuan sauce thing happened and I can’t look at any content from that show without cringing. LOOK GUYS IM PICKLE RI-stop please it’s not funny.
The “community” is insufferable, but the show is solid. You might like Solar Opposites. The wall substory is amazing
The wall substory is a wild ride
Is there even still any Rick and morty fans left in the wild? After the whole case against one of the voice actors I never see them around too much anymore.
I like Rick and Morty, but I have enough self awareness to know that Rick is not a role model.
Yeah, it’s funny because of how terrible everyone is. I’m laughing because it’s outrageous, not because the characters are going through relatable hijinks.
Justin Roiland wasn’t just the voice actor for Rick, Morty, and various other roles, he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of the show alongside Dan Harmon. The whole thing is very much Roiland’s baby, and even after it came out that he’s an abuser and predator and the show fired him it continues to be his celebrated legacy.
Fuck that guy and his stupid show.
Roiland is a co-creator, but it is very obvious that Dan Harmon took over the show for the better.
Hell, the takeover happened while Roiland was still voicing Rick, so it isn’t like something important was lost after Roiland was fired.
I initially found that show a bit interesting, but I found myself feeling more and more cringey about what the show was churning out. I outgrew the whole thing just as the sauce thing was happening
It later became well known what an actual piece of shit Justin Roiland is, and I felt pretty glad not to have been stuck in that fandom still feeling like his work was of any importance to me.
Don’t even get me started about the SA scene(s?), especially the grape-man. I try not to judge people too harshly by their choice of mindless entertainment, but if you found that funny, or at least continue to find it funny, I don’t think I can take you seriously.
Really triggered my partners PTSD too, so I wasn’t surprised at all when the Rolland stuff came to light.
Handmaid’s Tale.
Never got through even a single episode.
Would it be worth it? Is there vindication or is it just endless boring patriarchy?
Walking Dead. There’s like several shows and a dozen seasons each, although I actively avoided it since it started about, not into zombies shows.
Squid Game, never really like dubs and just didn’t get into listening Korean yet.
I thought Handmaid’s Tale was absolutely amazing. Really felt like I was witnessing late stage america with its path towards a christo fascist future
Yeah, but like, I watch shows to escape from the brutal crutch of reality.
Like Star Trek. Or something set in the past.
There’s a whole bunch or drug shows I haven’t watched which people think I would like, because I advocate for the legalisation of drugs. But that’s exactly why I don’t like them; they show the shitty reality that would be so easy to change.
Oh I never watched “man in the high castle” either. Well a lot of S1 but got bored of it.
The Expanse
Stranger Things
Deep Space Nine
Vikings. It started off okay. I just wanted to see vikings do cool viking stuff. But it became a drama about Christianity taking over, which might be historically accurate, but didn’t interest me at all. I straight up didn’t like any of the characters at a certain point.
Manifest. Holy shit, I tried. But wow, just mind numbing.
Game of Thrones, the Expanse, Breaking Bad
For Breaking Bad: If you can get over Skyler White it’s really good towards the end.
I could not even stand Walter, watched 1 and a half episodes.
It’s a polarising show. True that.
I enjoyed it a 7/10. But I can definitely see why some wouldnt.
I agree with a lot of the shows listed. I loved TWD but after the Negan stuff, I was so incredibly bored that I gave up, couldn’t get into Parks and Rec. Tried 3 episodes before deciding it wasn’t for me, etc.
But the one show I haven’t seen listed yet is Supernatural. I was obsessed with that show for the first 5 seasons (which was how many the show creator wanted it to go on for) and then it just became so unbearable and ridiculous that I completely gave up by season 7. This one died, but not really. This one died and got brought back - 3 times. This one swapped bodies. This character is actually this character, but SIKE! it was THIS character all along!
Give me a break.
Then it went on for like 8 more seasons and I just cannot fathom that.
First season (or two even) of Parks & Rec is not at all representative of the rest of the show.
Yeah, I tried P&R twice without it clicking for me. Only once I got past season 1 did I begin to enjoy it.
I watched Supernatural one or two seasons too long. The first five were great all around and then it got weird.
