The office and Big Bang Theory. The office wasn't funny at all, more of a boring, and same with BBT, too nerdish to keep going, Sheldon was somehow funny.
Same. Curated clips get the point across and are enough.
sex and the city , Seinfeld, and friends
Arcane. Despite all the writers effort to create emotional investment it was like someone's D&D backstory for their edgy rogue
Would you mind naming a couple shows you actually do like? As a huge Arcane fan, I'm intrigued to hear what you consider good.
Sure: JoJo's bizarre adventure, Delicious in Dungeon, Star Trek DS9, Bob's Burgers.
Delicious in dungeon was spectacular :o
Thanks. I agree with most of those. Idk what I was expecting. Just never known anyone who's seen Arcane and didn't like it, so I expected some wild picks I guess.
Breaking Bad. It's too painful. Jessie is so dumb I can't watch it. Walter's motivations are also so randomized… it all drives me banana nuts.
for sure had to power through and skipped a lot of episodes. Better call saul o the other hand was nice till it got to the end. Hated every bit of that phase.
Spartacus. I had never heard of it until I stopped by a friend's house and they had it on. They told me it was neat and showed me the scene they were watching. Like clockwork, the scene immediately changed to full frontal dick. My friend downplayed saying that happens once or twice, his wife piped up and said nah it happens every episode with a grin on her face. They continued to talk about how many dicks are in the show and i just couldn't be bothered to investigate on my own.
Breaking bad.
Same. I watched maybe half of the first episode and then left to go fold laundry and never finished the episode.
I caught the complete series 1 by accident in a TV marathon when I have never heard of it before.
I was glued to the screen the whole night until 6am. It was so good. Probably my most memorable TV experience after the twist in from Dusk Till dawn.
I never really finished the series, I quit on series 3 or 4.
Im sure I have watched all episodes by now, but I lost interest, because a lot of the story fehlt dragged out too much, when the first series was constant progress.
Big Bang Theory
Didn't work for me. So dull. Felt like it was made twenty years earlier than it was.
BBT is critically acclaimed in the same way the Big Mac is the world's most popular burger.
Also mostly sex jokes disguised as smart people humor. It quickly gets old.
Haha xbox means nerds means smart means genius
They may as well call it The Big Gangbang Theory because it portrays nerd/geeks the same way porn portrays sex.
Gangs of London. The Gentlemen. Game of Thrones.
Call me a monster, but Breaking Bad. It is just feel bad and cringe, I hate it lol.
I'm so with you. I don't think I know a single person who has seen Breaking Bad and didn't like it. Meanwhile I hated it.
Yeah I don't blame you. Watched the whole thing, but it was pretty hard to get into for exactly the reasons you stated, and my gf and I would probably have stopped if Better Call Saul (the episode of BB, not to be confused with the spinoff series of the same name) and the character it introduced hadn't brought in some sorely-needed levity.

the office. the documentary/handheld camera style cinematography is nauseating to watch. see also: parks & rec and similarly-shot titles.

I tried to watch Downton Abbey with my wife. I can appreciate the acting, costumes, and sets, but I could really not have cared less about the minutiae of the lives of 1910s British upper class and their servants
Scavengers Reign. I liked the story, but the acting was so dull. So never finished it.
White Lotus. Just couldn't care about anything happening.
Ditto. Just didn't do it for me
Peaky blinders - I love this era with movies and what not but this show just didn’t hit for me
Incredibly gorgeous visuals, incredibly meh series.
The Gentlemen. Game of Thrones.
Every reality series.
the first season of ones like survivor, bb, tar, were better than every season after. before all the strategies and stuff got worked out. it was 'new' to you and to those on the shows. now it's just same-old, same-old every single season.
It's hard to argue with success. If I remember correctly, those early seasons had the best viewership numbers for their time.
For me, it's the basic format itself that's unpalatable. It's not stone cold reality like sports or some documentaries, although those can be embellished, too. It's also not as polished as scripted series. It feels to me as if a network executive put a concept, a soap opera production, and a rough draft of a script into a blender and pressed "puree." It makes so much money that I can't argue that it's not clever. I just can't relate to it. There's probably a bunch of popular stuff I like that other people don't care for, so it's important to be able to criticize something while respecting other opinions.
" Breaking Bad - I had to force myself to watch 5 episodes. Just didn't get it.
" The Sopranos - I don't like mob stuff. I didn't like the godfather either.
" The Wire - this one surprised me because I generally like cop shows. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind.
I never could get into The Sopranos, and I don't think I'll ever get around to scratching it off my watchlist.

The White Lotus. I got 2-3 episodes in and was just bored. None of the characters were likable so I just didn't care.
Same, why should I care about these people?
The only character that seemed like an actual character in S1 was the manager, and...

Mr. Robot. Finished season 1 and decided not my cup of tea. Hated every single character in it. Felt same way about White Lotus too.
I got a through a few episodes but just couldn't go further. I never wanted to see any of the characters ever again
