American Horror Story

Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore

Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.

Most of the adult animated shows (Rick and Morty, inside job, ect.) they're like a 15 year olds idea of what adults are.

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.

Anything with more than 3 seasons usually fails to maintain my attention. Eventually it's just more of the same.

Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.

[–] Teknikal@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

300+ posts and I only see about 13 or so, time for a new instance I think. Does lemm.ee really censor so much or is it my client.

If you can wade through the sludge (like ST:TNG S1), it really becomes incredibly thought-provoking in especially season 3.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).

The Expanse but I'll try to give it another shot one day.

The first season shows 2 perspectives - detective in asteroid belt and some of the most bland, basic and incredibly uninteresting dude going somewhere. Just kept falling asleep during those scenes.

I heard the layer seasons are quite interesting so I hope to at least skim through it or read the books but tbh the first season feels like it ruined the world for me already.

Wheel of time just finished the latest season in the background and its fun just bad. I've tried reading the book before and it's pretty terrible nonsense too so my expectations were already quite low. I do find the main plot point of basically temu Buddhism and the Witcher cocktail very atractive but it's just so poorly executed. All characters are meaningless. The world has so many plot holes that the wheel might as well just stop rolling right there.

Carnival row - not sure if this counts but it really sucked past season 1. It felt like something was there but it was really ruined by poor writing and Cara Delevingne and her character are so incredibly bad it really ruined any chances the show might have had.
