My this question certainly comes up very often on here doesn’t it.
Any and all “reality” TV.
Severance. So. Goddamn. Slow.
Buffy Supernatural Smallville The Arrowverse stuff
I dunno man. I just couldn’t get into the serialized urban fantasy pretty people vs monster of the week genre, even thought it feels like it should be right up my ally. I used to play a TON of V:tM and WW:tA, and Im all about camp and community theater energy. I liked some of the other Whedon stuff at the time, like Firefly. And I’m a life long fan of all things super heroes and I even respect Arrowverse from a far for its commitment to its status as a multimedia project (before the MCU, even).
More recently, some similarly themed shows have been made and I got into them way more; What We Do In The Shadows and Stan Against Evil, and I think maybe the magic sauce was that I would have liked the energy paired something less earnest and more tongue in cheek. All of these shows also had the issue of really annoying fandoms. Its probably the reason I couldn’t lower my hackles around Doctor Who.
Firefly. Amatuerish acting and plots that barely reached “Atomic Rifle” levels of sophistication don’t really sit well with me.
Buffy.
It was just a big sloppy plateful of Beverly Hills, 90210 with a small side salad of weird shit.
Big bang theory. Cannot stand the characters on that show, especially Sheldon
I mean, this is Lemmy, it’s a show about making fun of us.
And honestly I’d respect that if they put effort into it, but “lol nerd” is like 90% of the plot.
That show is literally trash.
When Sheldon says “Bazinga” I throw 10 metric tonnes of popcorn at the screen. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen /s
The best concise description of that show I’ve heard was “it’s what people who aren’t nerds think nerds would like”.
I remember watching the pilot for the show, I was like, “oh this could be refreshing away from the stupidity of the rest of tv!”. I was already onto anime by that point and had entirely stopped watching cable.
But no. Apparently, when the actual show started airing, it was EXACTLY as you describe, and a massive disappointment. Xbox and bad quips and trying to get girls? Absolutely not.
The vast majority of them as I don’t really watch movies or tv-series at all. Every time I give one a chance it ends up being a dissapointment and then I’m just less likely to try again.
I prefer YouTube.
Mr.Robot
So much drugs, depression, late stage capitalism.
Idk wtf I was watching. Too dark and too confusing. I thought I was watching a WW2 Holocause movie, the vibes was depressing AF.
Did I mention the drugs?
So. Much. Drugs.
There were More Drug Scenes than Plot Scenes that I actually understood.
(Maybe I just have a smooth brain who knows 🤷♂️)
I just love how the Elliot is like “I’m so lonely and depressed” and has like 8 close friends and gets a girlfriend and immediately gets intimate.
I would think it a bit more immersive if they made his depression about something else entirely from the start.
It’s a great series but I agree, there’s a lot of depressing vibes. I binged it recently and ended up being getting paranoid riding trains haha
I watched it cause it was interesting to explore a scenario where the top 1% was targeted, especially considering what’s happening in the world right now.
GOT
It gets so boring and does nothing for you to care about the starks
It gets so boring
It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what’s his name dies in the desert.
I gave up during season 3 and found season 1and 2 to be ok
Friends
Seinfeld
Yellowstone
The Office
This might be the only time in my life that I have ever heard someone say they didn’t like Seinfeld. Never thought I’d see the day.
I don’t think you’re supposed to like Yellowstone. I think you’re supposed to feel obligated towards it
The Office season 1 is dogshit
The rest is excellent
Altered Carbon. I couldn’t get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.
office, walking dead, ISAIP season 13+ only, Nutrek its just so bad and its a disrespect to the continuity of the franchise and roddenberrry, plus KURTZMAN has said he doesnt care about consistency(it was pretty clearly when your stealing or lifitng material directly from memory wiki alpha and beta site), which why it became pure garbage. GOT, ROP i assume people also think its terrible too.
Game of Thrones. I stopped watching when Aquaman raped the blonde.
Then I started reading the books. the rape scene was written slightly different, so…whatever. Then I got to the part where the brother/sister threw the boy out the window. Done. Violence against kids is my line.
spoilers but if you had stuck around you get to see the guy who pushed him out the window get his comeuppance. he spends the next season as a prisoner of war and gets his sword hand cut off. it changes him almost completely
but then again thats not the only scene in the series with violence against kids so maybe it was best to stop there
Yellowstone. I wanted to like it because Americans riding horses and doing cowboy gun things is a vibe, and I wanted to get that without actually having to travel there and be around Americans. It’s just so bad though.
conservative white people love the show.
If you haven’t already, you should give the spin offs a chance. Neither my wife or I can stand Yellowstone (we struggled through the first season and then gave up), but 1883 and 1923 are both fantastic shows.
It didn’t intrigue me but the old white guys at work like it so I knew there was something wrong with that show
