Ask Lemmy

Squid Game.

Bring on the down votes, I don't care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.

I stopped watching the Big bang theory around season 3.

And I think I've only seen one game of thrones episode...

Severance - So. Goddamn. Slow. Every scene was slow. The lines were delivered slowly. From all the characters. Always. And somehow even the action scenes are slow?? Like when dude is in the hallway loop, that whole scene dragged on for way too long. I couldn't get past the second episode. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Dark. Sad thing is that I'm very intrigued by the overall narrative and atmosphere, but it's just so damn boring. I also thought Midnight Mass was bad but I did manage to force myself to finish that one.

GoT... Too much rape as a plot device, and general subjugation of female characters.

Love... She was supposed to be the cool girl but she was just rude. I lost respect for the characters in episode 2.

• Dark
• The OA
• ST: Lower Decks
• The Office
• Parks and Rec
• Peaky Blinders
• I’m dragging my feet getting through seasons 2 of Silo and Severance.

Hannibal

I enjoyed Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs, but I just couldn't get over how hamfisted the series was with the whole "It's gory, but isn't it bEaUtIfUl?!" thing. I don't normally like using the word "pretentious" as criticism, but I can't think of any other word to describe it.

Game of Thrones, the Expanse, Breaking Bad

I enjoyed the first season of Yellowjackets, but have given up halfway through S2 as I realised the writers didn't seem to have a plan, and were Lost-ing it, making up extra mysteries as they go along, just to pad the story out.

Breaking Bad. I made it part way through the first season before giving up. Everyone loves that show but I just couldn't enjoy it.

If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

• La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
• Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
• Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
• Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it's somehow hilarious.

Vikings. It started off okay. I just wanted to see vikings do cool viking stuff. But it became a drama about Christianity taking over, which might be historically accurate, but didn't interest me at all. I straight up didn't like any of the characters at a certain point.

Star Trek Discovery

Nutrek, most of the live series are were terrible, Kurtzman ruined the franchise. lower decks just got silly. ISAIP past season 12 were just plain awful, they shouldve gave up on the series long time ago.

Sons of anarchy.

Handmaid's Tale.

Never got through even a single episode.

Would it be worth it? Is there vindication or is it just endless boring patriarchy?

Walking Dead. There's like several shows and a dozen seasons each, although I actively avoided it since it started about, not into zombies shows.

Squid Game, never really like dubs and just didn't get into listening Korean yet.

Black mirror, too depressing

Wheel of time... Just didnt care enough after the first episode

The witcher... Again just didnt care enough and not a fan of the lead

Glee.
