Unfortunately, it was so bloated with hours dedicated to the backstories of insufferable jackasses, I finished the series and bemoaned my TV watching choices. The dude who wrote/directed that show (I can’t remember his name and I’m pretending to work) cannot write dialogue to save his loving rear end BUT he made a movie called Hush with a deaf protagonist which pretty much eliminates his greatest weakness. It’s a good movie.

I watched most of the first season of How to Get Away with murder and it was so incredibly bad. I was expecting like a crime drama but it was just a soap opera with the most laughably unrealistic court room scenes ever Another is Broadchurch (I was reminded I watched this recently), which I watched all three seasons. The first season is legit a great detective drama about investigating a murder in a small sleepy British town. The second season they’ve solved the murder and is just tawdry and mostly uninteresting drama with lots of long shots and moody colors. The third season is I don’t even know what the gently caress and seems to be about porn dealers (like drug dealers, but with porn) corrupting the towns youth and turning them into old lady rapists Tolkien minority fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jan 8, 2019 |

Sneaky Pete Season 2. I don't really watch much "tv" but season 2 was where the concept just started getting really loving dumb, but I really wanted to see how it played out.

Probably the shittiest series I've ever watched all of is either "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" though a couple individual episodes stand out as pretty good, or any Scooby-Doo episode featuring Scrappy. Also I really don't get televisions obsession with shows about rich white people with ~*secrets*~ Like "Big Little Lies" or "Bloodline" or whatever. Like let me guess, someone killed or will kill someone else/someone cheated or will cheat on their spouse or both. Nobody gives a gently caress about these wealthy people who in real life would never worry about this poo poo because they're all sociopaths

You know, I don't think I'd classify Downton Abbey as 'lovely'. But I watched the entire first season and found it so forgettable that I could barely tell you the plot.

I had only watched like half of the first season of Lost and before it ended, I caught up to the last loving season It must have been a special hell to ruminate and hope over all that poor writing course of a decade, thinking the showrunners knew what the gently caress was going on at any point -- and then come out with that mediocre finale! With nothing! There are people out there right now who think Lost was a good show

Watching the show Lucifer now. Almost done with season 3. It has it's ups and downs but it seems a lot of the same themes are repeated over and over. Writing is getting a bit stale.

I'll be honest, I don't see the appeal in watching shows about stuffy British nobles fretting over tuppence while their servants keep a stiff upper lip through their lovely existence. To me, they look boring as hell, and could immediately be resolved by putting all of the characters in a meat grinder. My parents eat these shows up, though. Downton Abbey, Bleak House, Poldark, Vanity Fair. loving

i think i only watched the pilot for dexter. it didn’t do anything for me HOWEVER my friend had lymphoma when the show was still airing and she was a massive fan her sister hit up michael c hall and just asked him if he could send some pictures or something, but because of his own cancer experience/being a nice guy he gave her a surprise call and flew her down to the set and continued to check up on her throughout her chemo. well that’s my dexter story. edit: my friend is still alive. feel I should add that.

Lost is really weird because the original pitch was for a show like Castaway and Survivor combined. Then it turned into a phenomenon that rose it to such heights that any conclusion it got would end in disappointment.

The characters in Lost weren't "dead the whole time". It was in fact the viewer who was dead the entire time they watched Lost.

I watched the first 3-4 episodes and found the majority of the characters to be "The Walking Dead" levels of stupid. I honestly don't know how it got a positive reputation for the first few seasons.

Walking Dead is amazing because ZOMBIES was really the only thing holding the show together, if nerds didn't love zombies so much no one would have watched that trash. It also plagued us with a lot of zombie poo poo, the years following those first few seasons were nothing but zombie games.

Breaking Bad ended (Better Call Saul owns face and is the best thing on TV now), Game of Thrones went down the shitter and everything else either got lovely or canceled I'd call A list. There's lots of fun B tier shows yet but for a while it was a sea of true top tier quality; it's now an island. ED: Somehow against all loving odds Preacher got renewed so there's hope for fans of whack rear end funky horror comedies still, despite the loss of Ash vs Evil Dead

Weaponized Autism posted:Probably these three: Oh Christ I blacked out the last couple seasons of True Blood from my memory god that got super heavy-handed with the AIDS metaphors at the end. Orange is the New Black is the same way now. It's not subtle or smart, it hits you over the head with the "HEY REMEMBER THAT THING IN THE NEWS THAT WAS BAD, THIS IS THAT!" Hopefully with Piper out next/the last season will be okay becuase her plotline is the least compelling part of the whole show.

SleepySonata posted:Poldark is great tho? Yeah, I wouldn't watch any of that other junk but Poldark rules. Another show I regret watching so much of is Once Upon A Time. It starts off decent, and then just starts freefalling downhill very quickly. I forget if it was season 2 or 3, but I got to the episode where Emma and her kid get in the car and try to drive out of town and figured that was a good enough ending for me.
