It's supposed to be

It's a shame too because the UK version is so good. NBC was like what if we took this really unique idea and turned it into a generic-ass American sitcom and sadly it worked for them.

This one took me a long time to get into but was ultimately worth it

I like Doctor Who, but acknowledge it's entirely BS. He says, "Time travel doesn't work that way." You must accept that no plot holes can be filled by a time machine that can go anywhere, anytime. There would never be a plot if he could go back and fix it anyway, so we are stuck in a world where everything happens for maximum drama only. I can see why it's exhausting.

Same with Friends, the laugh track is doing a lot of heavy lifting

I agree that Seinfeld is terrible but all other main actors save the show.

I’ll watch anything with Timothy Olyphant or Giancarlo Esposito in it, but I can see why you’d say that. The scooter race was laughable and enough with the same damn desert planet already.

Rick and Morty for me as well. Can't stand Rick, his voice makes me uncomfortable and I really dislike how his treatment or Morty is supposed to be funny.

I watched the first season. Loved it, but yeah the anxiety is a LOT.

I only made it about two episodes into the second season. Still very very good TV, but it really is quite a burden to feel all that anxiety.

Agreed, I only made it two episodes. Anxiety as entertainment ain't for me

If just the first three episodes had your anxiety going stop trying. When Jamie Lee Curtis starts popping up, my anxiety started going up, and I’ve never had that issue with any TV or movie I’ve ever watched! I love her as an actress and she kills the role in The Bear, but the role is a seriously messed up mom.

Same here. Tried it once, didn't care for the pilot episode and lost interest. A couple years later, some people encouraged me to give it another try after hearing that I tend to love character dramas. I made it partway through season 2 before I stopped and realized this show just isn't for me.

The subject matter holds no interest to me, and the characters aren't likeable or compelling enough for me to get invested.

I can appreciate that Breaking Bad is a well made show, but I don't understand all the universal love it's garnered.

I love that show but it is kinda designed to be hard to watch. I don’t blame anyone for not being able to commit to it.

Your image of the show is pretty distorted, it's not at all some edgy middle schooler show. The humor is (generally) in how much of a dumbass Michael (the boss) is and how much he ruins situations trying too hard to be funny, and the witty jokes are generally well performed one liners by Jim (John Krasinski) or malapropisms by Michael, like "I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious" or "his cap was all pitated!"
The show repeatedly makes fun of Michael's prejudice, too, like how he feels superior to the warehouse guys despite having the same education as them and not even earning that much more. It isn't edgy to make fun of the stereotypical middle-aged white male boss being insensitive

Yeah, The Office hasn't really aged well, but it is what kick-started so many of those actors' careers. Like Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, Rainn Wilson, etc. I think that's part of why so many people like it. That and nostalgia.

I will say Parks & Rec is probably way better in terms of how characters are, and their growth. Like Aubrey Plaza starts out as an annoying bitch but as the show progresses, she learns to be more open about her feelings and such.

This was the show that taught me cringe-inducing humor is not at all for me.

I had to do it twice. The first season sucks. Could have been done in 2 episodes. The rest of the show is a lot better and I'm glad I powered through the first season.

As a fan of The Expanse and James S.A. Corey. I get it. I love the show and think it's great, but I know it is not for everyone.

Read the books instead... Unless you just didn't like the concept or something.

I recently started watching The Sopranos for the first time last year, and damn is it good. Some episodes are slow sure, but a lot of them are absolutely packed with story. So much so, I needed to take a couple minutes to process what I had just watched.

Also, there's a very intense, pretty powerful scene like right in the middle of season 3 that kinda changes the entire dynamic of the show.
