Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.
Ted Lasso
I really wasn’t a fan of Mork and Mindy. I love Robin, but couldn’t get into it.
Breaking Bad
Dexter. I was good until season 3, killing off the wife ruined it for me. My gf stuck it out until the shitty ending when they killed his sister. They can shove the new rehash up their asses as far as I’m concerned, I’m not falling for another rug-pull.
Yeah this. It got incredibly repetitive and predictable after season 2.
Arcane: beautiful artwork but the characters did nothing for me.
The Expanse: Good “universe” but again I found the main characters boring.
Then there’s a few directors I tend to think are style over substance. Ridley Scott is too slow paced. Dennis Villeneuve is always visually stunning, but half his films struggle to tell a good story. Chris Nolan is very hit and miss and he needs a good writer at his side, rather than writing his own stuff.

The office. Just don’t get what’s funny or good about it. I tried giving it an honest chance about 6 episodes and didn’t laugh once. 0/5
US or UK? I really didn’t find the US version funny in the slightest. And I dont mean in an elitist sense, I’m hardly the greatest fan of the office UK either, but there is something about the absurdity levels of many popular US sitcoms which never feel right to me. Like the characters are just so silly that they would never have been in those jobs in the first place. Scrubs and Brooklyn 99 are similar in that aspect for me, I just don’t find the ungrounded absurdity funny
I have tried to start the office no less than 5 times. I even tried someone’s suggestion of skipping season 1.
I just can’t get into it or find it funny.
Try Community, it’s like the office but with humour
Also something about Steve Carrel annoys me the moment I see him. Along with Ben Stiller, who’s not in it but same effect
That show is mostly about cheesy drama and cringe. Don’t get me wrong, I watched all of it, but I never would have watched it if my roommates didn’t.
But there are really funny parts, but those honestly end up being inside jokes, meaning you have to get to know the characters.
I was the same way with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had the TV on in the background and it was on FX, just programming, and the episode where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack to get on welfare was on.
Until then, I hated that show and couldn’t get the hype.
(on a side note, that show went to shit by season 7… so it goes)
But I digress: once you learn the characters (and starting at season 1 is rough because the characters aren’t really developed yet) the Office becomes much more entertaining.
I feel bad that they still keep making new seasons of always sunny. Gotta wrap that shit up already. They’ve wrecked their faces with plastic surgery and theyre trying so hard to be cool, and it’s just not anymore.
Well, they just jumped the shark. It could be recovered, but the Simpsons ran into the same thing in season 9, and South Park is holding onto a thread. ATHU and Sealab ran into the same issue, but Sealab was due Micheal’s passing. (captain murphy)
Cowboy Bebop is really… okay? It feels like nothing is happening, although Samurai Champloo is the same but still entertaining enough that I’ve made it halfway through
The Princess Bride. Only USians care about that movie, which is absolutely not the most quotable movie (that goes to Commando).
Woah I guess if the point of this post was unpopular takes, the Princess Bride DEFINITELY wins lmao. May you rest well, and dream of large women.
Mr. Robot. I can’t tell if this is good or terrible.
I liked the first two seasons because it felt like it was building to something. Season three was ridiculous, then it ended stupidly.
Breaking Bad. I didn’t start it until maybe S4 or early in S5 so I marathoned everything and it got really cyclical really fast. Jesse does something stupid, they scream fight saying they don’t need each other, goes separate ways he fucks up more then they realize they need each other and get back to cooking then Jesse does something stupid…plus Walt says he needs just a little more money then suddenly it’s gone so he starts over again…
I experienced this too!! But BB, chief among TV Shows, you can’t be critical of or people will crawl down your throat about it.
I once had someone tell me that the reason I didn’t like it was because I’m “still young” . I’m in my mid thirties.
They meant “you haven’t yet had the experiences I (wrongly) assume everyone has because they happened to me.” It had nothing to do with the year you were born in their eyes. Not that any of that changes your point or justify that persons comment;I just felt a weird urge to over explain the statement.
I also have that urge at times
Basically any kind of “reality TV”.
GoT, Simpsons, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things,
The Walking Dead. You may now proceed with my execution.
Ex-wife and I were really into it for several years, then overnight, we just didn’t give a shit anymore.
I personally hate gore so I dislike most horror. I do like psychological and eldritch horror.
