Except for some reason women really like it.

"Go get me a popsicle- it might be the last thing you do :D" *Guy going to get popsicle smiles, goes to get popsicle, GETS KILLED*

Plus there's a lot of rape by characters that you're supposed to like. Rapists are the ones you're supposed to pity and root for.

I think the writers think they're writing something more grandiose than they actually are. The characters are bad, the writing is worse.

'McManus comes up with a way to improve the prison that ends up making the prison worse' will never not be funny to me. Seriously, man, if someone got their Achilles' tendon sliced open during prison basketball, what makes you think someone won't die horrifically during prison boxing?

Not mutually exclusive. It's pretty dated but the actors are still great and the script is still ridiculous.

House of Cards is terrible. Kevin Spacey steamrolling a bunch of cardboard cutout people. I don't understand how it gets so much acclaim. The only good thing about the show is the production and cinematography.

OitNB is like a sitcom but none of the characters are likeable and the laugh track is removed. Same goes for Suits, gently caress that show is bad.

This is a rare show in that none of the characters are either interesting or sympathetic. It's just dumb people doing dumb poo poo and loving themselves over further.

realtalk right here. and kevin spacey's character isn't likeable in any way whatsoever, he's just a machiavellian rear end in a top hat with ill-defined motivations. even walter white was more relatable. i mean i did stop watching after six episodes, but i think i gave it a reasonable chance

also the politics are so unrealistic. and not even in a lol cartoony over-the-top way. you can tell the people who write the show really think politics is that simple and stupid. like the creator of the show was even on colbert once and he blamed the most recent government shutdown on the fact that the democrats didn't compromise

That's an apt comparison I think. And it's really good but not as some accurate depiction of politics, especially the second season which jumps a couple sharks.

Yeah that's about right, except for the terrible part.


OitnB is pretty loving bad but I could see how it could be a guilty pleasure show to watch. I made it through like 5 episodes I think.

Yeah! Plus I think that maybe John Cena and Randy Orton don't actually hate each other. I think the matches are fixed and they aren't really trying to hurt one another!
