Seinfeld. It’s just not funny.
Same with Friends, the laugh track is doing a lot of heavy lifting
There are some clips with the laugh track removed, and they really illustrate how not funny that show is. It’s just a long slew of broken conversations with awkward pauses.
I have the same opinion of any show that relies on a laugh track - if you have to trick my brain into laughing because ‘everyone else is doing it’, then your shit isn’t funny.
I actually chuckled at quite a few of those jokes
I agree that Seinfeld is terrible but all other main actors save the show.
Came here to say this. I love it’s always sunny and people insisted it’s similar but I just can’t. I’ve tried so many times.
I know it’s a crowd favorite but The Bear.
I have watched three episodes. All of them get my anxiety to the roof. I asked my friends if it didn’t make them anxious, too and they replied ‘yes, but that’s the fun’.
Maybe I’ll watch it when I’m done with my studies… See if I miss my anxiety.
Agreed, I only made it two episodes. Anxiety as entertainment ain’t for me
If just the first three episodes had your anxiety going stop trying. When Jamie Lee Curtis starts popping up, my anxiety started going up, and I’ve never had that issue with any TV or movie I’ve ever watched! I love her as an actress and she kills the role in The Bear, but the role is a seriously messed up mom.
I heard that it only gets worst and I am like noooope
The mom is Jamie Lee Curtis???
Seriously. It’s obvious now than I know, but I haven’t seen her or thought about her since A Fish Called Wanda and wow.
She looks older than she did 40 years ago. Surprisingly enough.They make her look more frazzled in Bear, but yeah that’s her. I hate her role, but she’s amazing in it.
I watched the first season. Loved it, but yeah the anxiety is a LOT.
I only made it about two episodes into the second season. Still very very good TV, but it really is quite a burden to feel all that anxiety.
I’ve never seen The Bear. I want to watch The Bear, but at the same time I don’t want to watch it. I used to work in food service when it first came out and had a few coworkers recommend it, but I told them then that I probably couldn’t handle it cause it would send my anxiety skyrocketing.
And they said “yeah, but it’s SO good!”
Breaking bad. I’ve tried multiple times. Can’t do it. I just don’t like shows where they’re constantly at risk. Dexter was better but still hard to watch.
Dr Who. People with similar tastes to me love it. I’ve seen episodes with several different iterations of the Doctor (please don’t @ me with your fave). It just doesn’t strike a chord with me.
I like Doctor Who, but acknowledge it’s entirely BS. He says, “Time travel doesn’t work that way.” You must accept that no plot holes can be filled by a time machine that can go anywhere, anytime. There would never be a plot if he could go back and fix it anyway, so we are stuck in a world where everything happens for maximum drama only. I can see why it’s exhausting.
The Mandalorian
There are cool moments ( ||Luke’s return|| ) but I find the writing to be mediocre.
At least it’s better than the Book of Boba Fett. That show is a disservice to the character of Boba Fett. He’s a remorseless assassin, not a mob boss with a heart of gold.
Holy shit the kids’ scooter gang was embarrassing. I know this shit is for the kids but come on
I’ll watch anything with Timothy Olyphant or Giancarlo Esposito in it, but I can see why you’d say that. The scooter race was laughable and enough with the same damn desert planet already.
office (us), it’s cringe
It’s supposed to be
It’s a shame too because the UK version is so good. NBC was like what if we took this really unique idea and turned it into a generic-ass American sitcom and sadly it worked for them.
This one took me a long time to get into but was ultimately worth it
Twin Peaks
Lower decks Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty for me as well. Can’t stand Rick, his voice makes me uncomfortable and I really dislike how his treatment or Morty is supposed to be funny.
I haven’t watched it in many years, but I do know that apparently him abusing of Morty is actually supposed to be bad and it’s a whole major plot point later on
The expanse, tried twice…so far
As a fan of The Expanse and James S.A. Corey. I get it. I love the show and think it’s great, but I know it is not for everyone.
Read the books instead… Unless you just didn’t like the concept or something.
I had to do it twice. The first season sucks. Could have been done in 2 episodes. The rest of the show is a lot better and I’m glad I powered through the first season.
Downton Abbey
I haven’t actually tried to watch it but I’ve been in the same room as handmaids tale. I saw an episode recently and the only thing of interest was the switchblades they had. There’s gotta be a better show where they wear funny hats.
Anything with Nathan Fielder. I just can’t with that guy. He gets under my skin.
Tried Andor 3 times, just couldn’t care. Which is weird as I’m a Star Wars fan from 1977 and Rogue One is my favorite of the movies. (Well, maybe Empire. Too close to call.)
This surprises me, but it would make sense if you aren’t into character dramas. Is that the case?
After watching Andor, I didn’t like Rogue One as much because it was very clear that Andor was 100% Tony Gilroy, and Rogue One was 50% Tony Gilroy Style and 50% OG Star Wars style. I realized I didn’t like the classic Star Wars style, and whenever the soundtrack got more classic, I cringed.
Can you draw a Clockface at 3 and 10?
I’ve tried my damndest to get into Better Call Saul. Just can’t do it.
I don’t try repeatedly, there’s far too much TV available. The odds that a TV show will change my life if I just give it enough chances or put enough hours into it are just too low to bother.
