One of the worst shows I know is the German adaptation of The IT Crowd. I thought I'd get some new nerd content to watch but boy was that bad. They mostly translated the dialogue word by word, so some jokes don't make any sense. And they replaced the eccentric style with weird and bad acting. Watching it made me cringe.
And I didn't enjoy Prison Break. I liked the idea and the premise and getting to know the characters... But then I lost interest later during the first season. Felt more like a chore to watch and the only thing I wanted to see is how they finally escape... I believe they did several more seasons of the show. Idk if other people enjoyed it, but I think they could have delivered more with the premise of the story.
Same kind of thing happened with That 70s Show. There was a British remake which used the same scripts, and it was awful. Really terrible.
It‘s the cast that made the original work. Just a shame that almost all of them turned out to be huge pieces of shit
I don't think that show made it to where I live...
Yes, people being pieces of shit is kind of a bummer. Speaking of The IT Crowd... Graham Linehan (the writer) also subsequently turned from comedy writer to anti-transgender activist. And his work shifted from award winning comedy to hateful online posts, fighting legal issues and writing his memoirs on how that cost him his career... I don't get it, and it's just unfortunate.
Yeah, I feel like there‘s a fascinating study into how indoctrination and radicalisation works in there somewhere. He‘s lost everything because he can‘t stop hating on a marginalised group. Cost him not just his career, but also his family, and recently saw him arrested.
It‘s horrible, but also kind of fascinating.
