What's a show/movie/game that's really well-written and well-beloved that you really don't enjoy? (self.asklemmy)

For me, 2 things come to mind; Berserk & the Long Walk

Berserk may sound controversial, but I just didn't have a good time watching the 90's anime. I felt angry while watching it. I just didn't like the characters for how dickish they were (especially Guts & Casica) and the setting was too miserable for me. And some of you may go, "but the comic is 10x better" (I know it's manga, I'm just calling a comic to piss of people) I also just don't like dark fantasy in general, since they're edgy, pretentious, and worst of all... they're ugly. There's a reason why I never played the Dark Souls games, outside of the difficulty

The Long Walk movie is really well made movie with amazing acting. But man was it a miserable movie to go through. Seeing all those kids getting shot by soldiers for being slower was painful to watch.

Side note: there's a lot of critically acclaimed stuff I like (Cowboy Bebop & the Dark Knight). It's just that entertainment is so subjective that it's not mutually exclusive to writing.

Ohhh, I get it about Berserk, although the "triumph" of will and goodness despite the Hellreaiser styled tragedy seen in the OG anime was enough for me to love it. Kinda traumatizing though, NGL.

From what I've heard, Breaking Bad. I've talked about it before but I cannot follow a protagonist I dislike intensely, which in this case is due to his weakness, amorality, selfishness and sociopathy. Bro, either go to a real country and get treatment or just die, it's alright, no need to become a drug kingpin and have bodies on you unless you want to use your last moments on Earth to spread mayhem and lock that Hell ending for yourself. Even in the first few episodes I was just tired of this weak, pathetic man, and I couldn't stomach it. However, my wife and many other people have said nothing but good things about the show so I understand there's probably something to it, maybe the drama is interesting, maybe it's really well acted, maybe the sets are beautiful, idk, I didn't watch much.
