Ask Lemmy

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.

Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.

It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.

Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Last of Us. Fallout I didn't even bother with. I probably would've bailed on Breaking Bad as well if it wasn't for everyone around me telling that it'll get good eventually (it didn't)

As much as I tried to get into it, I couldn't get myself into Game of Thrones.

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.

Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.

Breaking Bad

Got some anime for y'all

• Daily Life of Immortal King: There was so much vital force in the first episode, I kept watching hoping to see more love and care for the rest of the first season. Instead I got a bunch of flat characters that seemed to be walking plot coupons to be cashed in when the plot needed to happen.
• Attack on Titan: Everyone talks about how epic anime twists are. This is because they tend to make the twist about something core to the plot, so when the twist finally hits it could tear the whole story asunder and leave you with a whole different story to tell. The risk of this is that you (the viewer) might not like the story after the twist. This is what happened to me. The first twist hit, I spotted that it was a mecha anime in disguise, and promptly checked out because I had just watched a shit ton of gundam and was sick of mecha anime.
• Eminence in Shadow: I actually watched the whole series because I was momentarily down for some power fantasy junk food. I do not reccomend it. I feel like my life is worse for the experience
• Brothers Confict: This is among the ranks of "so bad it's good" anime. I simply could not deal with the pain and had to quit.
• Rising of Shield Hero: I just can't deal with the horny shield.
• Made in Abyss: I hated watching Riko constantly treat Reg like a machine. Couldn't get over that.
• Blue Exorcist: I have no idea why this didn't hit for me. I was in the target demographic and everything, and it did end up being a springboard for me into other anime once I got bored barely ten episodes in.
