Old men in suits were showed screencaps and told "People are horrible to each other and it's funny! No comeuppance, just more views. This is the next big thing in humor!"

Knight Rider remake i just remembered. Every Adult Swim show is amazing compared to that. Context fuckers. There's subjectively bad and unanimously bad.

Tokelau All Star posted:This is a weird one, because I mentioned earlier that I hated Perfect Hair Forever (watching for the first time two days ago). But my college roommates and I legit loved Xavier Renegade Angel. You're right though, today I have a very low opinion of college me. Xavier renegade angel has to be the weirdest thing I ever watched.

The worst show I've seen recently is How to Get Away with Murder. It started out watchable, but they just kept piling twist upon twist, conspiracy upon conspiracy, past the point it where it all felt cheap and impactless, and just kept going. I guess it's popular and well-reviewed by critics? I have no idea why because it had at most 2-3 decent episodes before imploding. Worst show ever has to be Histeria! though. I strongly suspect the creators set out to make the most obnoxious and repulsive educational cartoon imaginable. It wasn't even fun in a subversive sort of way, though, just absolutely painful to watch. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jul 21, 2016 |

It's shows like this that reinforce how awesome Breaking Bad was. It had so much potential to be awful at every turn and it just wasn't.

It had maybe one or two bits I liked, but the over-the-top style didn't help it and the completely random "world history + modern pop culture + OLDER pop culture" thing feels like it's more confusing for younger audiences than just having Bugs and Daffy reenact a series of historical events.

Halloween Jack posted:I believe Kindred did well enough that it probably would've gotten another season if the star hadn't died in a motorcycle crash. I remember one episode where they kept talking up this one Assamite murderer as the ultimate ghost of an assassin who never leaves a trace, then they go to check out a house where they think she's going to strike and someone literally trips over a corpse left in the middle of the lawn

Halloween Jack posted:I can see how House of Cards would be a good background show if you find it soothing to listen to an angry man talk in a drawling Southern accent. But that just takes me back to freshmen Philosophy 201 with the guy who never shut up and eventually just started screaming IT IS A FACT THAT NIETZSCHE IS BURNING IN HELL. I find kevin spacey extremely soothing even when he's killing people. He needs to work on that.

I'm pretty sure both How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal are both the work of Shalondadonda Rimes. I only watched the first season of How to and didn't mind it, but I just leave the room if my wife is watching Scandal. Mostly because I can't stand the main character (Olivia Pope) or the autistic hitman guy (I hate his voice/delivery). All twists/plot points are resolved the same way: Olivia: my dad is being evil President: oh really? Olivia : how will we ever fix this? President: Let us gently caress (loving commences) Gay politician: I've had a rough day. Someone was killed by our cleaners. Boy friend : oh my. How can I make it better? Gay politician: let us gently caress (butt loving commences) Autistic hitman : I killed a man in front of my kid. How will I ever live with myself? Random couple in background : let us gently caress (loving commences)

Sherlock (the BBC television series) is kind of campy at times but it's never outright bad or, ahem, "schlocky" in my opinion... until Andrew Scott's Moriarty gets screen time. Jesus Christ his performance is god awful. Dunno if it's the direction or the acting but I really hate the take on the character. Not a huge fan of Amanda Abbington either but she gets a pass because she's Martin Freeman's irl wife

I watched a single episode of this show and Moriarty is an offensive gay stereotype and he threatens to kill Holmes but then retreats, saying he'll leave killing him to another time, then he comes back and says he changed his mind and the episode ends with a cliffhanger. It's really badly written. The dialogue, the characters, the structure. Garbage.

Perhaps I should have expanded my comment to say "any scene with Moriarty in it" because I agree, that was egregious. And then there's the last episode in the third series where Moriarty says "Buh-byeee!" and shoots himself in the head which got me laughing out loud because of how ludicrous it was. Sherlock and Watson are fun to watch though. I wouldn't say the show as a whole is badly written.

This is UnReal and it's fantastic because every single major character, without exception is a horrible, irredeemable person and they tell you this right up front. The entire show is horrible things happening to horrible people and they bring it all on themselves, and not once does the show expect you to sympathize with them. The only decent people are the lesser characters caught in the middle of this escalating feud between terrible assholes. I love shows about awful people (as long as you're not expected to think any of them is the "good guy") though.

Doc Block posted:Do people really put TV on just to have it on in the background? What's the point of having it on if you aren't going to pay attention? And if you're watching something not worth giving your full attention to, why not switch to something that is worth it? I like TV or a movie on in the background when I'm working. I usually also have something to play with in my hands while I'm on the phone with a client. I can't think straight unless I have distractions. My grandpa was the same, as is one of my daughters. Always doing multiple things at once. It calms me. My wife is the opposite. If I fart near her, she has to rewind 5 minutes to track the movie plot. Not uncommon, that's most people. I don't know if it's ADD or something, but if I don't have distractions, I can't focus. It's paradoxical.
