Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?

A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.
-
Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.
-
Dark.
First season was decent, but after a certain point the cognitive load required to keep track of the timeline(s) and character relationships just made it feel exhausting and not fun to watch.

I enjoyed Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs, but I just couldn’t get over how hamfisted the series was with the whole “It’s gory, but isn’t it bEaUtIfUl?!” thing. I don’t normally like using the word “pretentious” as criticism, but I can’t think of any other word to describe it.
Masked Singer.
Panelists after every song: OMG that was unbelievable! That singing blew me away! Greatest singing in the history of music! I’m a changed person! Thank God I lived to witness this incredibly amazing performance!
Audience members: [gasping, staring in disbelief, open-mouthed amazement, verging on tears]
The Walking Dead. Felt more like the Talking Dead, the pacing was far too slow for me and it didn’t seem like much was happening.
I gave up in the first episode when a pair of cops drew their firearms, and the one said to the other “safeties off”. And the other cop just brushes the slide release because he was holding a Glock, which famously does not have a safety. I just couldn’t take it seriously after that.
Westworld. I started watching it twice, and both times I thought it was really good until I ran out of patience about not knowing what the hell was going on.
The show was good but so hard to follow. Every time I’d watch an episode, I’d have to watch the Alt Shift X video to explain wtf I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/@AltShiftX/search?query=westworld
Having just completed rewatching the series, I completely understand.
It really requires binging an entire season over a few days in order to properly track, especially given that the story is told across a number of different periods of time - and it doesn’t truly become apparent until the last few episodes what is meant to have occurred when.
I can’t even figure out how I was able to keep up with it when it was coming out episodically! I probably didn’t… 😬
The Mandalorian
Noped out after season 1. They revealed his face during a filler episode, during a boring scene, instead of waiting an episode or two longer for the real gut punch reveal at the end of the last episode.
It was stupid. It killed what would have been one of the best face reveals in cinema history. I had no patience for the show after that. Almost didn’t bother finishing the rest of the season. I don’t really care what their reasons were. Contractual. Whatever. Don’t care.
As much as I tried to get into it, I couldn’t get myself into Game of Thrones.
Most of the popular ones. Especially Game of Thrones. As soon as the incestuous couple threw the little boy off the tower, I was outta there. I’m so tired of shows about horrible people doing horrible things.
!So that kid end up basically being the bad guy. Pretty much everyone would have been better off if he died!<
Wait. Brandon? Hmmm…
Huh. I never thought about it like that. I’m not sure that would have been the case though. The starks would have lost their shit a lot faster had he died. I can’t remember exactly, but it was one of the brothers or the mom that was like “nahhhh he didn’t fall” and then went up the tower and figured it out.
And then, had he died, nobody could’ve stopped her. Even Ned would’ve rained hell, esp with Robert there. The only reason nothing immediately happened was BECAUSE he didn’t die. And then, he wasn’t the bad guy because he basically ended up being the/a good guy for the rest of the show.
Wanna talk about misdirected hate, Jeezzz.
What about “the guy who was cucking the king by fucking his twin sister/the queen and when his secret got discovered tried to murder an innocent kid/royal to cover it up with no thoughts of the consequences”? Eh? Can’t that guy be the bad guy?
So you going to overlook the Bran, once he got access to his powers proceeded to messed with the brains of people. Hodor for one. The ‘mad king’ for the other. If that we were shown.
Or how Bran does jack shit in the big fight, despite being able to.
And then it’s made kind because… He had the most interesting story…
Countless people died because that little shit manipulated time and events to gain power.
I completely understand and it took me three tries to get through the first few episodes… and then the biggest shock is that you end up partly understanding and feel these horrible people. At times, you may even root for some of them. It’s definitely taxing for most of us but that’s what makes it a great show.
Jaime was a great story, till they done him shitty in the end
Rick & Morty. Then the whole szechuan sauce thing happened and I can’t look at any content from that show without cringing. LOOK GUYS IM PICKLE RI-stop please it’s not funny.
The “community” is insufferable, but the show is solid. You might like Solar Opposites. The wall substory is amazing
The wall substory is a wild ride
Is there even still any Rick and morty fans left in the wild? After the whole case against one of the voice actors I never see them around too much anymore.
I like Rick and Morty, but I have enough self awareness to know that Rick is not a role model.
My kid wanted to watch it together, and I was like, that’s fine as long as you let me tell you that Rick isn’t always right and he’s not the hero.
Yeah, it’s funny because of how terrible everyone is. I’m laughing because it’s outrageous, not because the characters are going through relatable hijinks.

Justin Roiland wasn’t just the voice actor for Rick, Morty, and various other roles, he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of the show alongside Dan Harmon. The whole thing is very much Roiland’s baby, and even after it came out that he’s an abuser and predator and the show fired him it continues to be his celebrated legacy.
Fuck that guy and his stupid show.
Roiland is a co-creator, but it is very obvious that Dan Harmon took over the show for the better.
Hell, the takeover happened while Roiland was still voicing Rick, so it isn’t like something important was lost after Roiland was fired.
I initially found that show a bit interesting, but I found myself feeling more and more cringey about what the show was churning out. I outgrew the whole thing just as the sauce thing was happening
It later became well known what an actual piece of shit Justin Roiland is, and I felt pretty glad not to have been stuck in that fandom still feeling like his work was of any importance to me.
Don’t even get me started about the SA scene(s?), especially the grape-man. I try not to judge people too harshly by their choice of mindless entertainment, but if you found that funny, or at least continue to find it funny, I don’t think I can take you seriously.
Really triggered my partners PTSD too, so I wasn’t surprised at all when the Rolland stuff came to light.
One Piece - with One Pace i got through the alabasta arc. The characters all have good back stories and motivations. I mean it is well written, but with how the stakes and emotional depth are managed it just feels like a sit-com. I want to like it more, but i just don’t foresee myself throwing it on again.
If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:
- La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
- Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
- Altered Carbon: It’s already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn’t even bother watching the second one. It’s also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
- Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn’t interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn’t have been surprised.
