Big Bang Theory

Walking dead. Only season one was good

Game of Thrones. Just couldn't get into it.

Friends

How I met your mother

Big Bang Theory

Squid Game.

Bring on the down votes, I don't care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.

My biggest problem with most of the shows listed is they have to outdo themselves and go on for too long.

Season one: Great premise!

Season Two: Same premise, but TWICE the danger!

Season three: I don't know, robot ninjas or something?

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.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it's somehow hilarious.

Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.

Breaking Bad

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.

Never got the appeal of these ones. They aren't bad shows, but they did not do it for me.

Game of Thrones

Lost

Better Call Saul

Peaky Blinders

Breaking Bad

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.

Lost was the tv version of clickbait. 3 concurrent story lines rotated from week to week. Every episode a cliffhanger that you had to wait 2 more weeks to resolve into a nothing burger. Even watching that shit on disc or streaming is annoying as fuck. I might have liked what was going on story wise, but I got too annoyed with the format to get past mid season 2.

Dark.

First season was decent, but after a certain point the cognitive load required to keep track of the timeline(s) and character relationships just made it feel exhausting and not fun to watch.

Star Trek Discovery

Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.

It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.

Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore

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.

The Umbrella Academy: in the first couple of series like nothing happens and everyone is very sad.

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.

Walking dead. I think I finished the second episode. But I'm not even sure about that one. It was utterly boring

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

1. Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?

2. A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.

3. Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.

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

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.

Yellowstone. With shows like The Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy you know the characters are evil, but you can connect just enough for it to be compelling.

In Yellowstone it feels like they want you to see the characters as the heros, when they are mass-murdering, slave-owning oligarchs. They buy cops and politicians to gain power, but get bent on revenge if other powers don't "play by the rules". I didn't last too long, but everyone else seems to love it.

Game of Thrones. To me it just came across as torture porn. Just a series of awful things happening to people from one scene to the next. The schtick about different kingdoms and families vying for the throne or whatever was just the backdrop and context to rape, abuse and murder, which was the star of the show.

I love fantasy but that show didn't do it for me in the slightest. Not interested in checking out any of that guy's books either.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).

Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.

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.

Banshee. There's only so many times you can watch a guy get the absolute piss bashed out of him
