Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.
Walking dead Lost All Marvel and DC movies
The Princess Bride. Only USians care about that movie, which is absolutely not the most quotable movie (that goes to Commando).
The office. Just don’t get what’s funny or good about it. I tried giving it an honest chance about 6 episodes and didn’t laugh once. 0/5
Try Community, it’s like the office but with humour
I have tried to start the office no less than 5 times. I even tried someone’s suggestion of skipping season 1.
I just can’t get into it or find it funny.
Also something about Steve Carrel annoys me the moment I see him. Along with Ben Stiller, who’s not in it but same effect
That show is mostly about cheesy drama and cringe. Don’t get me wrong, I watched all of it, but I never would have watched it if my roommates didn’t.
But there are really funny parts, but those honestly end up being inside jokes, meaning you have to get to know the characters.
I was the same way with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had the TV on in the background and it was on FX, just programming, and the episode where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack to get on welfare was on.
Until then, I hated that show and couldn’t get the hype.
(on a side note, that show went to shit by season 7… so it goes)
But I digress: once you learn the characters (and starting at season 1 is rough because the characters aren’t really developed yet) the Office becomes much more entertaining.
Cowboy Bebop is really… okay? It feels like nothing is happening, although Samurai Champloo is the same but still entertaining enough that I’ve made it halfway through
Mr. Robot. I can’t tell if this is good or terrible.
Breaking Bad. I didn’t start it until maybe S4 or early in S5 so I marathoned everything and it got really cyclical really fast. Jesse does something stupid, they scream fight saying they don’t need each other, goes separate ways he fucks up more then they realize they need each other and get back to cooking then Jesse does something stupid…plus Walt says he needs just a little more money then suddenly it’s gone so he starts over again…
Basically any kind of “reality TV”.
The Walking Dead. You may now proceed with my execution.
Ex-wife and I were really into it for several years, then overnight, we just didn’t give a shit anymore.
Isn’t that universally considered garbage? I mean it’s so bad even people who watch it can’t deny
TV. All of it. Films. Most of them.
GoT, Simpsons, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things,
I did like the Game of Thrones novels, but, yeah, the TV series didn’t really hook me.
The godfather.
Tried multiple times, couldn’t get in to it.
I don’t like mafia stories in general so that probably goes a long way to explaining it.
Fervent organisational/inherited loyalty doesn’t make sense to me ,so anything based upon that ruins my immersion.
To be clear, I understand that it’s a thing and why it happens, it’s just so ridiculous as a concept I can’t usually suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the media.
Goodfellas, I could get through, godfather was a bridge too far.
Agreed, godfather is the reason I started saying I don’t like mob movies but that turned out not true . Goodfellas, casino, the departed. Must just be the godfather that’s bad
Goodfellas i could do, has been a while though, might have to go for a rewatch.
The departed was stellar, if you can deal with subtitles(or terrible dubbing, if that’s your thing), i would recommend the original movie on which it’s based, Infernal Affairs.
Just an FYI, the trilogy is the story of how much of a mistake the grandfather made. It takes three generations for them to be able to get back out of the crime business, and get back to legitimate businesses. By the end of part 3 Micheal Corleone isn’t a happy guy. He managed to legitimize the businesses, and lost his entire family in the process.
It sounds like an interesting story
The actual story was never the issue, what i saw of the acting, directing and production values was good as well
I personally hate gore so I dislike most horror. I do like psychological and eldritch horror.
Friends: a celebration of hedonism and shallowness.
Seinfeld: basically the same.
Seinfeld I thought had a lot of clever and funny parts. Even though I like Jerry less and less as the years go on, there were so many great supporting characters.
Friends though, any time that show is playing I feel like intelligence is being sucked from my brain. And not in a “so stupid it’s funny” way, it’s just empty and stupid.
What made Seinfeld funny was the situations they set up, like the one where Jerry and George pretend to be the people listed on the sign held up by a limo driver in order to get a free ride home from the airport, only to discover that the people they’re impersonating are white supremacists on their way to speak at a rally at Madison Square Garden (for good measure, Kramer and Elaine are at MSG to protest the white supremacists). But watching Curb Your Enthusiasm all these years has made it clear that it was really Larry David that was creating these situations, and his show does it a lot better.
The other thing that made Seinfeld funny was the copious amounts of weed I was smoking at the time. These days, it just isn’t really that funny, and the
soundtrack(I meant laugh track – the soundtrack with the funky bass line was great) just makes it worse. There was never anything funny about Friends. I watched it because I was in love with Courtney Cox.
I liked friends when i was a kid/teen. Bit re-watching it as an adult, not so much. Everyone but joey and chandler annoy me now
Basically everything of the last 20 years that wasn’t Edgerunners or Wednesday, so Breaking Bad, GoT, Walking Dead, and so on.
When it comes to sitcoms with laugh tracks, the list of what I like is shorter.
