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

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.)

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.

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.
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.
-
The Mandalorian.
Succession.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I do not understand why anyone like the mandalorian. The stupid baby yoda is terrible. The special effects are terrible. The main actors acting is terrible. The background/side actors acting is terrible. Jon Faverou or whatever is terrible. Disneys big stupid dome green screen is terrible and lazy.
Everything about that show is terrible, and it epitomizes every worry Star Wars fans had when Disney bought the ip.
Succession is a hot take that show is goated.

Wait until you read literally any bit of human history.

I’m pretty sure that was every 20-35 year old in the 90s.
-
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
-
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.
-
Game of Thrones.

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.
-
Stranger Things.
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 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

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.
It didn't intrigue me but the old white guys at work like it so I knew there was something wrong with that show

I couldn't take getting through half of the season (at least I think I made it halfway through)
-
Attack On Titan ( basically all the Anime )
One Punch Man is good. I enjoyed it
Also Mob Psycho 100 (same studio I think)
I watched Attack on Titan and thought it was ok. If you want to watch some good anime I thoroughly recommend the above
