I'll go first:

Breaking Bad.

I can't do it. I've seen the first season! I know what you're going to say next: oh but it gets better after the first season you HAVE to watch it.

The Walking Dead.

Can't do it. There is so much walking dead bullshit I simply can't watch it.

Battlestar Galactica.

I know its good. I've been told over and over and over again. I simply can't!

None of these shows are going to live up to the hype I can feel it in my bones.

Andor might be in that boat but I did watch it all the way through. Probably won't again. I liked it, but if you haven't seen it yet I can't imagen it lives up to the hype. Maybe a little.

I give it a significant share of the blame for the scourge that is prestige tv

[-] upmysleeves@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

That's so fair, honestly. It's really written quite differently from most of the 2010s schlock that was inspired by it - but that schlock is unbearable

Battlestar Galactica.

lol. lmao, even. This one had such a strong start, but then it devolves into some kind of Mormon version of Salman Rushdie-style magical realism (magical sci-fi?) starting in the third season and just kind of spirals out of control from there. It's up there with Star Trek: Enterprise for "if you watch this in 2025, you're torturing yourself" factor.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Enterprise wasn't good, but it wasn't as bad as people say. I'd even rank it above Voyager.

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

there are two george w bush characters in ENT while voyager has two Datas

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

Voyager has Neelix which is unforgivable

The Sopranos. I’ve heard only good things about it, it’s ranked as one of the best shows of all time, everybody showers it with praise, etc etc.

But holy fuck, I’ve tried watching the first episode on three different occasions and I just throw my hands up and turn it off. I can’t stand their stupid fucking yank ass accents. Every time they open their mouths they annoy me. My eye twitches the whole episode and I just want it to be over.

And no, they’re not “Italian” accents, they’re fucking American.

dives in front of the shot

[-] Waldoz53@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

i watched it recently after resisting watching it and ultimately its FINE, but man. i hate so many characters on the show that it became grating to watch, on top of all that it looks like shit and is edited so poorly (yes i care about that stuff). i actually fucking LOVE the ending, but goddamn it was a chore to watch sometimes

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Any MCU slop, i love superhero shit and all of this stuff has been ruining comics

Everything is a tie-in to something else, they're gonna start scraping the bottom of the barrel soon and not in a funny way, get a show about fucking Stingray before we get one about U.S.1 (that's the guy who has a super truck and metal plate in his head and he fights a madman in a blimp)

Hey, heard you liked Moon Knight, here's his new solo run which makes him more like the TV show and ruins the storyline that was already being built up! this is a writing method dreamed up by fools and appreciated only by the most craven dastards

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

i was the annoying person and my friend will never watch the wire

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Hampsterdam was a fantastic subplot

[-] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

The ones with a massive catalogue. Star wars, star trek, battlestar Galactica etc. Also massive deep worldbuilding.

Anything that got cancelled without a conclusion.

Soap operas and reality TV.

[-] danisth@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

I'm not going to wholeheartedly endorse BSG, since it does devolve into slop after the first 2 seasons, but I don't think to lump it into that group. It's a pretty tight 4 seasons, the rest of the lore is not relevant at all. The original series is really not something people talk about, and Caprica is an add on that is totally skippable.

I did enjoy all 4 seasons personally, but that's on me.

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

The nice thing about Star Trek is that the episodes are self-contained stories so you don't need to care about watching all of it.

i don't think i like severance anymore, but i watched almost 2 seasons does that count?

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

If they don't end it with season 3 I will do an adventurism on everyone involved with the show. It's at a hinge point where they can wrap it up and have a nice limited series that's not too bloated or they could go full-on Lost and spiral into poorly written absurdity. If they fuck it up, I'm never watching a show that's not completely released again.

The Foundation.

I love sci-fi, but I have tried starting that series twice, and I just can't get into it.

i watched the first season and a bit of the second season of twin peaks and while it had some funny or dramatic moments i liked, i struggled to give a shit about any of the plots, and i feel like it would be a waste of time for me to try watching the rest of it
