Euphoria and The Office.

The Orville.

I'm sorry! I'm a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can't stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn't just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (3 children)

It started out being a Seth McFarlane show but quickly became a pretty legit sci Fi show. McFarlane has always been a Trekkie, he was even in Enterprise, so he actually tries to do right by it once he gets most of the Family Guy type humour out of his system

Would it help if I told you that his particular brand of humour stops being the focal point after a bit? Iirc it doesn't last into the second season and is then replaced by actually thoughtful storytelling with light humour sprinkled on top.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Maybe. I think I stopped watching after the social credit episode in the first season. Maybe I'll check it out again if I ever have another reason to get Hulu.

Thanks ^^

Game of Thrones.

The incest didn't bother me, but pushing a child out a window hit the wrong note with me and my wife.

Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones

Couldn’t get past a season and the fandoms are just obnoxious.

The Mandalorian.

Succession.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I love the Mandalorian, but the people on succession were all just so horrible that I couldn’t stomach watching it anymore. I didn’t wanna be around thoseawful awful people.

The Office

It makes my skin crawl.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Same. If you want some actually laugh out loud hilarious cringe humor, I highly recommend Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The original UK version of The Office is pretty good too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The British will always win at police procedural/mystery/dramas and deadpan comedies.

It's cringe pretending to be humor.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've seen so many memes of it but I just couldn't get into it either!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

The memes are funny though lol. Just not the show.
