What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved. (slrpnk.net)

What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

I'm confused by the prompt. The Big Lebowski was an amazing movie with great social commentary, but it was poorly received and mostly only had a cult following.

Arrested Development was just okay, nothing special, but is talked about by everyone and absolutely overrated. It's social commentary is nothing compared to Big Lebowski.

The two are antithesis of each other.

And then Firefly I have no idea what that even is. Is that a YA novel?

So your question is what's the antithesis of all these unrelated things? Also what's not underrated but has inadequate social impact, as if Big Lebowski or Arrested Development did have adequate social impact??

Firefly is the okiest space western ever, but it got cancelled by fox around 2000 and people started sacrificing their left testicles to try to bring about it's return.

Firefly had an great cast the stories were Okay, they were made better by the cast.

Mr. Freedom should be more widely known.

More people need to watch Wheel of Time. Go. Watch it now. Season two comes out in less than a week.

That show should come with the disclaimer to avoid the season finale at all costs. Just terrible.
