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
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.
Downton Abbey
Arrested Development
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
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.)
Can you draw a Clockface at 3 and 10?
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.
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.
Twin Peaks
The expanse, tried twice...so far
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.
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.
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.
