Bojack Horseman. I thought it was okay at first, but it started seeming like a series of Facebook inspirational memes after a little while and I couldn't get into it. David Tennant-era Doctor Who. I'm only saying that because I've never seen any other Doctor Who. His character was absolutely unbearable, and even though the hyperactive annoyingness was apparently intentional, that didn't make me any more willing to endure it. Deadpool. Just utterly unfunny and uninteresting. Sort of David Tennant Doctor Who vibes, in a way. GolfHole posted:Modern Family. haljordan posted:Ted Lasso. Watched maybe 3 minutes of the first episode and gave up. Arson Daily posted:Mad Men was dumb as poo poo. gently caress your smoking and your hats and your misogyny

Serious_Cyclone posted:Disney succeeded in what George Lucas could never quite achieve: making me dislike Star Wars. My nieces are all about it, and I can at least talk to them about the original films so that's nice. But I can't force myself to watch The Mandalorian or any of the (I'm assuming) dozen or so movies that have come out under the Disney label. Yeah I don't even like mando, they have that same dumb vibe that superhero movies do and tons of other stuff. Everyone is a comedy genius, everyone is cool under pressure, everyone is a mary sue.

Then it quickly went to poo poo and just become More Star Wars because Dave Filoni couldn't help himself.

Yeah I can’t really put my finger on when I stopped watching, but at some point I just lost all interest. Which at first felt a little weird, seeing as most of my life i’ve been an avid fan. I guess the Marvel-esque approach really drained all the fun out of the franchise, which is a shame. Also: my gf loves Gillmore Girls. I loving despise that show.

Before it premiered, the appeal of the show to me was that it was finally going to be something significant after rotj that wasn't just about people with the force or fighting the empire. Then the show comes out and the second main character has force powers and the main antagonist is the imperial remnant. At least about 25% of the episodes don't have jedi or empire poo poo in them. But yeah, the show was best when it was a random guy with above-average competency in lovely armor getting his rear end beat half the time.

I guess that's kinda why I really loved Andor, no space wizard bullshit, just a decent spy story set in a scifi setting with some very great acting.

i do not understand the appeal of rick and morty also i agree with op the office is boring and not very funny. i mostly avoided the series when it was actually on, and then years later was stuck in a hotel with covid for a week and a half and couldnt leave the room and somehow ended up watching a ton of random office reruns, it was the only thing i could handle with my brain fog, and now i hate it even more

I hate Scrubs, so much I don't know how much cultural cache it holds anymore, but for a long time people would talk about it and put it on and make references to it and it just made me feel sick I hated it so much. Honestly I couldn't even explain it. It just makes my hair stand on end and get angry.

Genuinely it feels like pushing two magnets together with repelling poles. It is just physics that I cannot observe it.

i also hate big bang theory but i wouldn't describe it as a show that "everybody seems to love" because just about everyone i know also hates it. i mean i know it has fans, my wife's cousin's ex-husband always had it on, but i know far more people who hate it than like it

I seriously hate how this country does that. There is absolutely no originality and once someone releases something successful everyone copies it. The thirst for money stifles any creativity the artistic sphere in this country once had.

The West Wing often comes up on lists of "best TV shows ever." It's well-acted and all, but the portrayal of government in it is a total loving fantasy, and I'm 100% sure it poisons (lots of) people's brains to think that the GOP can be reasonable in any way.haljordan posted:Kevin Bacon used to bribe wedding DJs to not play that song if he was an invited guest because everyone else would expect him to just hop up and flawlessly do a dance from a 30 year old movie

Stranger Things The first season was pretty cool, the second season had a kickass monster design until it stopped being a kickass giant shadow spider demon thing and just became a pile of meat, but it got pretty terrible overall after Season 1. For a show whose entire premise is "dorky d&d nerds fight an irl d&d monster" it sure transitioned pretty quick into generic teen romance story where all the characters decide they're too cool for d&d. Also the whole "oh yeah this is actually all happening because two extremely powerful psychics" explanation was dumb as hell. That show sucks.

The big bang theory. I had a partner who gave the best oral I've ever had and likely will ever get but they really fucken loved that show which was a major turn off and legitimately part of my calculus to end things with them.

Almost all horror media produced past the 20th century. It's all loving misogynist bullshit parading around violence against women as entertainment. When it doesn't fit that bill, it's usually brain numbingly stupid and none of it is scary.

One Piece. I just can't deal with the Luffy character, be it in anime or live action form. He's just obnoxious. The recent comedy film Bottoms baffled me. There weren't any decent jokes but everyone else seems to think it was the funniest movie of the last decade. It was like watching a twitter thread.

Konar posted:The Good Place was a novel and mostly cool show but I really really hated that Jason character. The lines and how they were delivered was like a stereotype of a mentally challenged person but he was just a dumb guy and god he just sucked. Yeah the writing got lazy, hey the Jaguars are a football team that exists. One point to the joke quota. I did like S1 when there was mystery & a slight sense of horror but then all the edges were sanded off & they basked in being praised for being the smartest show on tv for throwing freshman psych 101 week one concepts at an audience. Meatball posted:The expanse. Oh yeah the concept seemed perfect for my taste, sci-fi in new setting with politics but holy cow I couldn’t stand the lead actor/character, charisma void. Also not a fan of the weird made up Belter accents that hurt immersion & dialogue. Slogged through 3 seasons but didn’t like it more. For me Twin Peaks, I like the idea & actors but it just doesn’t come together & feels like random nonsense being praised as genius when it feels like they didn’t have a plan. I do enjoy Dale Cooper but he never had enough to do.

I love the West Wing, but it's ridiculous to call it a political drama. It's a workplace drama, with very elaborate dressing. You're spot on about it being a well-acted fantasy.
