What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?
-
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 ^^
The first season, like all trek, is desperately trying to find its footing. That episode and 1-2 others could probably just straight up be skipped like how when I was looking for the best way to watch TNG for the first time the top ways I saw were "watch the first and last episode of season 1 and skip the rest".
Once the show gets its footing it gets really good really quickly.

My this question certainly comes up very often on here doesn't it.

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.
We run in different circles. Quite a few people I know hate the show

Andor season 2, doesn’t catch on after 4 episodes. Done with it.

Stranger Things.
I only watched the first season, and it stayed good that way...

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.

Its biggest influence is Next Generation, but Strange New Worlds is the closest modern Trek in that style if you don't like old 90s shows.
Definitely got some Lower Decks vibes as well. Are they ever gonna make more Orville seasons?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I fully don't get why people like that. It looks mean and dull and it's not even reality. The sexy ones also look like a shit stand-in for actual porn.

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.
-
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.
These negative reviews make me really want to watch it. Most TV glosses over all uncomfortable truths.

Lower Decks is awesome, although you'll get more out of it if you've seen the 90s Trek shows as they're referenced often. Not required, though. There actually is going to be a 4th season of Orville, but it's about a year away currently.

Andor. It feels so different and it is interesting because it builds the empire, but somehow it just felt too different. I watched a video essay about it recently, where the essayist made the point that he loves it for being more serious and darker in tone than most other Star Wars Media. I wonder if seen through this lens I'd enjoy it more during a rewatch.

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.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say 1883 was one of the best shows I've seen on TV.

Buffy
Supernatural
Smallville
The Arrowverse stuffI 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.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's too bad about Buffy, it really grows into something very unique. It's also pretty much the originator of that horror/comedy genre, and one of the first serialized prime time shows, along with X-Files.
-
The best concise description of that show I've heard was "it's what people who aren't nerds think nerds would like".
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

Firefly. I thought I could stomach sci-fi but I find it unwatchable for personal reasons. I wish I could but it's not for me.

it only had 1 season, definitely wouldve been able to see the scope if it had mroe season.
