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.
Same. I watched maybe half of the first episode and then left to go fold laundry and never finished the episode.
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.
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.
Almost all of them.
I eventaully got into it, but Mad Men took me more than a few tries
sex and the city , Seinfeld, and friends
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. 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.
Gangs of London. The Gentlemen. Game of Thrones.
Scavengers Reign. I liked the story, but the acting was so dull. So never finished it.
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.

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.
It's lowkey offensive to autistic people too. Young Sheldon did much better at that
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.
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
I never could get into The Sopranos, and I don't think I'll ever get around to scratching it off my watchlist.

Boardwalk Empire. I really tried.
Also, house of the Dragon. I made it mostly through the first season, but then I just couldn’t take it anymore.
