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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same, why should I care about these people?

The only character that seemed like an actual character in S1 was the manager, and...

I mean, that's the point of the show.... Their problems are ridiculous and petty, the entire point is to show what rich people think problems are

I mean, ok.

That seems pretty stupid actually. I thought I didn't get it, I'm sad to say I do :(

White Lotus. Just couldn't care about anything happening.

That I watched it all the way through? The Expanse.

I watched the first season and then stopped? Stranger Things.

Have no interest in? Game of Thrones

Watching just the first season of Stranger Things was probably the right way to do it. The first season is a complete story, and all the other seasons just feel like Netflix milking its success for $$$.

Other shows where you can watch the first season and stop for similar reasons: Handmaids Tale, Westworld.

Don't agree for HT, agree for Ww

So, S1 of the expanse was my favorite season by far, mostly because I loved the introduction to the belter ethos, it set a tableau for the rest of the season which was much more action oriented.

S1 was so cool! The whole detective, noir thing I absolutely loved!

Arrested Development. I can’t do Bateman AND Howard’s narration.

Banshee. Went into it expecting something like Justified where it showed small town sheriff stuff but no. It was just flashbacks to before he became sheriff and constant sex scenes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, it had some Justified to it, but you can't beat some good old Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins.

There is just not a single AMC show I can get into. I don't know if it's the style or what but I just none of them work for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I thought I was the only one...

" 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.

Peaky blinders - I love this era with movies and what not but this show just didn’t hit for me

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.
