What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?
-
I started watching Star Trek because I loved The Orville. I didn't know people had such hatred for it.
Some do, but I think The Orville is a much better Star Trek show than Discovery in particular.

Severance. So. Goddamn. Slow.

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.

Attack On Titan ( basically all the Anime )
I guess you're the opposite of a weeb, a beew.
-
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.
To clarify, the incest didn't SHOCK me. Kids out of windows did.

Big bang theory. Cannot stand the characters on that show, especially Sheldon
That show is literally trash.
-
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.
-
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.
The last 2 seasons of that show were total and utter dogshit. The earlier seasons are great though.
-
The Sopranos
Might be the only person I've ever seen in my life who disliked the Sopranos. I assume you don't eat Gabagool?
-
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.
In the books he was such a caring guy. The rape scene was just sensationalist claptrap.
-
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.

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.

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.
