Breaking bad, walking dead, any star wars show
So uninteresting imo
The Leftovers. Tried twice.
On my second try I enjoyed it…until the final season.
The show probably got different writers at that point. Whatever happened, everything previously built was just scrapped. It’s like they made a list of random outlandish ideas, then shuffled and tried to connect them.
If they had brought it all home it would have been a good, offbeat kind of show.
My this question certainly comes up very often on here doesn’t it.
Altered Carbon. I couldn’t get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.
Game of Thrones. To much a period drama.
Game of Thrones.
The incest didn’t bother me, but pushing a child out a window hit the wrong note with me and my wife.
Honestly good you got out. I still think about some of the darker parts of the books. The older and more aware I become the sicker they make me feel.
To clarify, the incest didn’t SHOCK me. Kids out of windows did.
The incest didn’t bother me
Uh…
That’s mild compared to later seasons. It does get pretty fucking sadistic.
I see where you’re coming from and it’s not for everyone.
Don’t check the Red Wedding scene on Youtube
I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.
Big bang theory. Cannot stand the characters on that show, especially Sheldon
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.
To be fair, the scene where Penny gifts Sheldon something like the glass Leonard Nimoy drank out of, for Christmas, had me crying with laughter. That’s about it, though.
Edit: The napkin he used, and then signed with a note.
i remember the sub that was discussing big ban theory how they turned penny into a stem professional into a total “bimbo” by the end of the series.
When Sheldon says “Bazinga” I throw 10 metric tonnes of popcorn at the screen. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen /s
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.
Silicon Valley also makes fun of nerds, but it’s for nerds. BBT just made nerds the butt of the joke.
They’re not nerds. They’re geeks at worst and really just programmers.
That show is literally trash.
The Office
UK, US, or Aussie?
Literally every country on the planet.
Lost - for some reason I just could’t bring myself to care about any of the characters or the premise.
I never watched lost in it’s heydays, i watched it much later. The cgi and everything seems so outdated. Then i got interested and understood why so many people liked it. But it all falls apart pretty quick.
It went from interesting to frustrating to enraging that I wasted my time. I watched it all. I wish I could have that time back.
Severance. So. Goddamn. Slow.
I felt the same. I also think that we viewers have so much more information than the characters… so even though there’s mystery, we see the mysteries coming like 2 full episodes in advance. Yawn
Totally. I enjoy the premise of the show, but the delivery is sleep-inducing.
Any sitcom or comedy.
Friends.
Shallow, punchable people who made being dumb fucks a virtue.
To be fair, I have friends who love this show but also admit it hasn’t aged well.
The only redeemable one is Phoebe. The rest feel like self-centered assholes, especially Ross and Rachael.
people had problems with it being a white-centric show in NYC of all places. also unrealistic as it was an expensive city and they dont look like they can afford the places.

It feels like all the breaking bad characters were designed to be the heel. I couldn’t stand any of them, and if I can’t stand any of the characters, why would i bother continuing watching the show?
I also didn’t like Breaking Bad (just finished it recently) - I don’t know if it’s because people kept hyping it up - but I do love Succession and that is another show where all characters are equally dislikable and I still liked them for it. So I guess Breaking Bad just isn’t it for me.
I really like (most of) game of thrones, but it’s a tough watch at times for sure. Breaking Bad on the other hand seemed to be nothing but a tough watch. Stopped watching when the mom starts smoking while pregnant. It was just too much, unrelenting misery for me. I can see it’s a really well made show, that deserves the praise, but I just can’t stomach it.
You don’t have to engage with the fandom while watching a thing
The first season of breaking bad is pretty slow, and the show runners really like the pattern of a slow start with an intense finish to each season. It gets better, but if you don’t like a slow burn it’s not worth the effort.
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.
Might be the only person I’ve ever seen in my life who disliked the Sopranos. I assume you don’t eat Gabagool?
I assume you don’t eat Gabagool?
Gabagool? Now that’s a word I had to look up, but luckily Wikipedia once more was able to come to the rescue:
The pronunciation gabagool has been used by some Italian Americans in the New York City area and elsewhere in the Northeast US, based on the Neapolitan language word capecuollo (pronounced [kapəˈkwollə]) in working-class strata of 19th- and early 20th-century immigrants.

So it turns out that I do like to eat it, but I normally just call it coppa.
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.
