    To be fair, I have friends who love this show but also admit it hasn't aged well.

      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.

        The Mandalorian.

        Succession.

        I found succession easier to watch from the second season onwards. Something about season 1 made me very uncomfortable, I'm not sure if it's the program that changed after that, or maybe I got used to the style of it.

          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.

          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 started watching Star Trek because I loved The Orville. I didn't know people had such hatred for it.

              office, walking dead, ISAIP season 13+ only, Nutrek its just so bad and its a disrespect to the continuity of the franchise and roddenberrry, plus KURTZMAN has said he doesnt care about consistency(it was pretty clearly when your stealing or lifitng material directly from memory wiki alpha and beta site), which why it became pure garbage. GOT, ROP i assume people also think its terrible too.

                The Orville.

                I'm sorry! I'm a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can't stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn't just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.

                if it wasnt in the show it wouldve been fine, but him being part of the cast makes the series questionable, hes not that good as actor, hes better at writing. ALso problems around him being involved with the writing has caused the series to barely make seasons in general, this has caused financial problems for some of the actors, and production too. having 36 episodes in 6 years is pretty bad. this was all from pallacki interview on michaels podcast.

                  nutrek is pretty bad to be honest. the animated series is much better than thier 3 series.

                    Arrested development and it's always sunny.

                    I really don't care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

                    isaip s13 and on, is pure cringe, the actors even into the show anymore. s1-11 was the best though, i think its was for the audience that grew up with the series.

                      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

                      AOT took way too long to finish such a short series, no need to extend like almost 10years.

                        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.

                          conservative white people love the show.

                            Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones

                            Couldn’t get past a season and the fandoms are just obnoxious.

                            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.

                              Altered Carbon. I couldn't get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.

                                        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.

                                          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.
