What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?

Arrested development and it's always sunny.
I really don't care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

The British will always win at police procedural/mystery/dramas and deadpan comedies.
Or the police procedural mystery deadpan comedy A Touch Of Cloth!

Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones
Couldn’t get past a season and the fandoms are just obnoxious.
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?

Stranger Things.

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!

Lost.
Boring af.
It was super popular, I think people maybe have some nostalgia for it, but it's really a bad show.
-
The Mandalorian.
Succession.
I won't try to change your mind, but I rewatch all of Succession like every 6 months. As soon as I finish I have to stop myself from starting over right away. God it's so good.

Attack On Titan ( basically all the Anime )

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.

Lost.
god help me it was so fucking boring and riddled with holes. I still don't understand how it was so popular.

I love the Mandalorian, but the people on succession were all just so horrible that I couldn’t stomach watching it anymore. I didn’t wanna be around thoseawful awful people.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Maybe view it through a different lens. It was a dark comedy to me. I was constantly bursting out laughing at how much these entitled pricks couldn't get out of their own way. They just play it straight and never give a wink to the audience

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.

Friends.
Shallow, punchable people who made being dumb fucks a virtue.

The turkey incident tho. (I need to do a rewatch.)

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.

Game of Thrones.

Don’t check the Red Wedding scene on Youtube

Maybe. I think I stopped watching after the social credit episode in the first season. Maybe I'll check it out again if I ever have another reason to get Hulu.
Thanks ^^
I'll be honest: I haven't made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I've tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.
And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don't want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.

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.

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.
I love a slow burn, but Breaking Bad just never did it for me.
