Huge Lady Pleaser posted:They had one of the series' writers/creators on an NPR interview a few weeks ago and he says that that is basically the point (that rich people were terrible then) and he is disappointed that most people don't get it. There's a BBC miniseries called "Manor House" that really drives home the point that 'the help' were essentially slaves.

With Downton Abbey, I imagine the lampooning of the manor lords and their lifestyle is too subtle for a general audience that wants to believe that they'd gladly trade their own problems for those of the idle rich, drat the consequences. You can't be subtle with poo poo like that unless you're planning a long con, but if they were doing that, the reveal should have been made already. Aren't they on the final season? I've never seen an episode but I've heard the occasional snippet from my parents watching it in the living room, and I certainly hadn't gathered that it was anything but straight-faced noble worship. What I'm saying is that if it wasn't obviously mocking from accidental exposure, they weren't trying hard enough to overcome the momentum of the subject matter. Most people just want to pretend to be rich and powerful, so you have to overpower that to get a message through. As an example, I was enjoying Orange is the New Black and started discussing it with a friend and explained that a great part of my enjoyment from the show was that Piper (and by extension, hey boyfriend) was a terrible person who deserved everything that was happening to her, and that she was by far the worst human being in a prison full of what "better society" considers scum not worth thinking about. My friend was very confused because he genuinely liked Piper, thought it was unfair that she was there and felt sympathy for all of the horrible things she had to endure due to no fault of her own. Sometimes I'm never sure if I'm reading a show right, though, because I do have some serious problems with depression which could color things a bit. E: Piper represents a sort of modern spoiled rich kid, from what I remember

If we are talking about recent TV then it'd be any of the slick, tense thriller type shows with one word titles. Scandal - started off ok then turned into gross torture porn and batshit storylines. Hostages - surgeon lady's family are held hostage and threatened with death unless she kills the president. Then she kisses the bad guy who killed her best friend just days before. So dumb. Stalker - hot women get killed in gruesome ways every week. That F is for Family show on Netflix seems really poo poo too. I couldn't make it through one episode.

Supermansion on Crackle. It's sort of funny when characters are allowed to be intelligent and not have everything revolve around sex and drugs. So, it's funny for about 2 minutes per episode.

angerbeet posted:Persons Unknown. It was the worst show I've ever seen. That show was well into so-bad-its-good territory. Watched it every week with a large group because it was just so bad. I can still remember some lowlights off the top of my head: - The seven people trapped in the town try digging a hole for a week. The episode starts at the end of the week. One character introduces themselves to another and they exchange basic information. So, we're to believe that these two people stood next to each other digging all day for a week and never once talked before then? - Ripped guy fakes his death for the cameras by jumping off a second floor balcony, landing on his feet, and falling over. This fools the "experts" behind the cameras

Len posted:I felt the same way. Piper is just a horrible awful person. Maybe the difference we saw in Piper is I grew up the son of a military officer/doctor and so was upper middle class from birth, whereas the friend in question had started much closer to the bottom of the socio-economic ladder and worked their way up. I saw everything I hated about my "peers" in Piper, so maybe my friend just saw a successful person that they strove to be , assuming you don't examine her behavior. I can certainly see how wanting what the main character has can help you take their side. It's easier to root for an action hero if he's handsome or strong, etc. What would be the audience reaction to an action/revenge film like John Wick, Die Hard or Commando where the "hero" was an obese goon with a face made for radio, or greasy haired meth skeleton? Change nothing else, barring perhaps substituting physicality for ambush, stealth and firepower (in place of martial arts and wire stunts) to try and suspend disbelief. I assume most viewers would see the main character as a villain, some deranged psychopath, snapping off bitter one-liners as he ends the life of another man who honestly had nothing to do with whatever vengeance is being pursued. The closest to that movie I can think of is Falling Down, but the character in that is a neutral entity, not an actively repulsive one by beauty and strength standards.

Keep your head down and behave and your lily rear end will be out in no time on good behavior. There's brown people waiting to fill your spot.

Aesop Poprock posted:Girls is good even though Lena Dunham is dumb and OisNB is good on and off. Seems like shows with a majority female cast just aren't your thing bub I love Revolutionary Girl Utena and Gunnerkrigg Court, if those count...then again, you could show those to children without exposing them to anything horribly inappropriate (just don't show them The Adolescence of Utena, also a few scenes towards the end of the series are PG-13 at the very least but it's tastefully done for the most part, unlike shows like Game of Thrones which at times feel like porn with extremely high production values) I don't like how much sex and nudity gets thrown onscreen in TV shows these days, and I just know Twin Peaks is going to fall in that category when it comes back...doesn't make me happy, but at least it's not a radical departure for Lynch, just look at the sex scenes and nudity present in Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Mulholland Drive. As long as Twin Peaks Season 3 is as good as season 2 was (hopefully more in line with season 1 though!) I'll be satisfied, Fire Walk With Me was garbage though...

Pretty much everything on TLC is awful and I know my mom's gonna be watching that poo poo when I visit. Long Island Medium is offensive to multiple senses. Also all the various redneck "reality" shows like Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, Ax Men, the Ax Men spinoff with that backwoods Louisiana retard, etc. that are all heavily scripted and still manage to be bad. Then there's the various Duggar shows that aren't scripted because none of them learned to read in homeschool so you get the purestrain crazy

Bip Roberts posted:Jesus, how did no one post Scrubs yet? Scrubs frequently sucked but managed to clear the bar with a handful of good moments over 9 years, and for being the most accurate show at portraying hospital culture (seriously). My vote goes to LOST, Battlestar Galactica, The X-Files, and any other carrot-waving narrative that promises answers to questions before falling over under their own turgid overextension and hiding behind "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey." They're not even shows, they're con games.

mdm posted:Survivor is pretty dumb, film people on a beach and make them play double dare or something for 28 days straight Survivor as it was originally advertised, a bunch of people trying to survive on an uninhabited island island with nothing but their wits and the clothes on their backs, would've been an OK show. And at first, it was. But then it became all about the backstabbing etc. and turned into modern reality TV and was poo poo from then on. Gaunab posted:Lost girl If a show has that "Canadian look" on Netflix then I skip it no matter what. ijii posted:Stargate: Universe SGU was trying to be dark and gritty like Battlestar Galactica. But in doing so it alienated the fans accustomed to the cheesy garbage that was the other two Stargate shows. Never mind that a bunch of the people involved were the same hamfisted clowns who made the other two Stargate shows, and so SGU was a show trying to be something its creators didn't have the talent to deliver, for an audience that didn't want what they were selling. And then there was the obvious audience insert character, the fat slob nerd who only gets to go because he's good at video games and is secretly, deep down, an under appreciated genius.

Hemlock Grove. Oh my lord, how the hell did this warm turd get made? It looks like they spent $500 on it. I've seen student films that weren't this bad. Any procedural crime drama, especially the "defective detective" ones. OMG she's annoyingly autistic, while he's an All-American Hero! This detective is blind! This one can get inside the head of the killer! These investigators use baloney TV "science" and ALGORITHMS  and interview witnesses/suspects despite not even being detectives!
