Walking dead. Only season one was good
Breaking Bad
Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn’t shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.
Game of Thrones. Just couldn’t get into it.
Banshee. There’s only so many times you can watch a guy get the absolute piss bashed out of him
Big Bang Theory
Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don’t do it for me anymore
Squid Game.
Bring on the down votes, I don’t care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.
Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it’s somehow hilarious.
Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.
It was a series with the ripe call to the “competency porn” as I’ve seen described as, but the characters couldn’t contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I’m wrong and should give another chance however.
Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I’m almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)
Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.
Star Trek Discovery
Friends
How I met your mother
Big Bang Theory
Most recently, Yellowjackets and White Lotus. I watched the first 2 seasons of Yellowjackets because the premise was interesting, and I wanted to see what happened (how the rescue happened) but it turned into a hate watch for me by the end of the second season. It all felt pointless and super depressing with no moments of hope or levity at all. The introduction of random supernatural elements and magic felt like they were drifting into Lost territory, and I couldn’t force myself to watch the third season after that.
White Lotus I tried rewatching because everyone seems to love it but I could never get past the first episode in the first season, everyone was so unlikeable and awful or totally ridiculous that I couldn’t stomach spending more time with them.
The sopranos. I got halfway through season 2 and decided I just didn’t give a shit about finishing it.
I feel like it was a show that was greatly helped by the once a week group viewing era.
