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 🤷♂️)
GOT
It gets so boring and does nothing for you to care about the starks
Friends
Seinfeld
Yellowstone
The Office
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.
Friends.
Shallow, punchable people who made being dumb fucks a virtue.
people had problems with it being a white-centric show in NYC of all places.
To be fair, I have friends who love this show but also admit it hasn’t aged well.
I’m pretty sure that was every 20-35 year old in the 90s.
Big Bang Theory, and all ‘reality’ shows.
How I Met Your Mother. Most laugh track comedies I found barely tolerable at best but that show fucking sucked major ass and I don’t trust the judgement of anybody who liked that show.
For reals. That show is so absolutely unfunny, it astounds me that anyone could enjoy watching it
I couldn’t take getting through half of the season (at least I think I made it halfway through)
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
Lost.
god help me it was so fucking boring and riddled with holes. I still don’t understand how it was so popular.
They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:
- built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
- marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.
It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…
I also severely disliked it.
The Office
It makes my skin crawl.
same.
It’s cringe pretending to be humor.
Loved the original, but US remake has just all the corners filed and padded.
The British original was even worse! I don’t want to feel bad when watching a comedy!
Gotta laugh or else you’ll cry-ahh humour
I feel this for some British comedy shows. I love British comedies like IT Crowd, Black Books, Fleabag. But man, those shows that think making people cringe really hard is funny like the original Office doesn’t do it for me.
They’re meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you’ve been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you’re not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.
That’s the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.
Same. If you want some actually laugh out loud hilarious cringe humor, I highly recommend Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb.
I will never forget the dog episode. This show was singed in my mind. Also a favorite of mine.
I love how you can just say the dog episode and everyone who’s seen the show knows exactly what you mean
The turkey incident tho. (I need to do a rewatch.)
The original UK version of The Office is pretty good too.
The British will always win at police procedural/mystery/dramas and deadpan comedies.
Or the police procedural mystery deadpan comedy A Touch Of Cloth!
I’ve seen so many memes of it but I just couldn’t get into it either!
The memes are funny though lol. Just not the show.
Stranger Things.
They lost me when they introduced so many new city characters in one episode and it became too much about teen romance and rebellion. I think this was start of second season.
I had to get into it on my own time. I didn’t really like it the first time I tried watching it but I eventually started it back up again in VR and got sucked in.
The Sopranos
Same! I gave it way more time than it deserved because so many people raved about the show. For me, it was like a snail-paced soap opera about the least likeable people in the world.
