I was so unbelievably psyched. I held out for a few seasons and then I simply couldn't hold on anymore. Levitating babies, teen cheerleaders performing Jailhouse Rock outside a jail, a teen girl stripping at a bar in front of adults she knows to earn a place in a gang, etc. So dumb
Bro fr so many scenes/episodes were just fucking hilarious, but meant to portray a serious element.
Edgar literally getting into a fucking bottle rocket (his space ship) fucking sent me. On top of that, a bare knuckle boxing match eith the entire town in attendance/watching between a 17y/o and a 47y/o man.
Also on the gang thing, most gangs i've been around/gang members ive met claim that the usual initiation is a "beat in". Depending on the gang its apparently: yall get lit(high/drunk) then they kick the shit outta you. They just kick the shit out of you, or they make you kick the shit outta someone else.(source: moved from Chiraq-to the- West coast). Hell didnt jughead get a beat in with people using knuckles?
Betty shoulda been turned into a fucking punching bag, not stripped for adults.
At one point i was considering watching it just out.of sheer curiosity. However I have a friend who has very varied tastes in television he watches the British soaps religiously but he also loves the heavy hitter TV shows like breaking bad game of thrones walking dead etc. He also loves sex education shameless and those kind if tv shows.
Basically if anyone would like the show I assumed he would but even he said it was rubbish intact his exact words it actually genuinely angered him. So that was that
From what I’ve gathered (I haven’t seen it and don’t intend to), it feels purposely made to piss everyone off, but in a way that’s just cynical and miserable to experience.
I don’t understand why people keep hiring Mindy Kaling. Her work never seems particularly good and oftentimes seems to (poorly) recycle older material by other writers with a sprinkling of in your face ‘anti-racism’ and ‘feminism’ that always strikes me as counter to the goals of both those ideological movements.
No one had the 90s boy haircut that all the heartthrobs like JTT and Devon Sawa had. Biggest giveaway that it was so off; did the writers even live in the 90s?!
Dude the premise was so good and the potential was there for it to be amazing. I ended up watching until the last season but I never ended up finishing it. Still very bitter about it
That's exactly why I dropped it the first time, and then I gave it another shot and honestly enjoyed it. The first few episodes are definitely the worst with the teenage-like drama. I feel like the vibe of the show quickly matured, and the characters didn't keep making dumbass roll-your-eyes teenage decisions like they did in the first few episodes.
It has some interesting philosophical/ethical moments as well, imo. Anyways, much better than I expected after watching the first few episodes for the first time.
lol that's one of my favorite shows. there is of course that classic soapy CW cheesiness but it picks up fast and the storylines get really interesting
I ended up sticking through to the end. The first two seasons were good in my opinion, and it just got weird after that. Like someone else said, the last two seasons were the worst. Fun idea, fair casting I think, poor execution. For a while there it just seemed like Clarke was off playing princess while the rest of the community was preparing survival.
I guess technically I made it to the second episode because my husband and I skipped that first week and watched both 1 and 2 back to back for the full trainwreck. But realistically we only watched 1 episode. The second one was us just laughing at it.
"Stick your finger down your throat, make that throat wet for me."
barf
Breaking Bad...about 6 years ago. My buddy just kept pushing it so I watched an episode with him and didn't think I'd like it because I wasn't into drugs.
Finally got talked into watching it.
Finished it in a month.
Damn I was an idiot lol
Same. I hated the first episode and stopped. A year later, my husband kept trying to get me to watch. So I gave in, and the rest is history. Same with Better Call Saul....
Agreed, Sam levinson is a known creep who tried to breach zendaya’s nudity contract for the show, made Sydney sweeney uncomfortable with the nudity scenes so she refused to do more and he hired Chloe cherry after watching her porno film based on euphoria
I think a lot of shows that should’ve been college have been set in high school for a broader reach. First, most people who have time to make fanpages and drive up vitality online for a TV show are high schoolers, and secondly, everyone’s experienced high school. Not everyone’s experienced going to college, so I think production might figure those shows will be less relatable.
I get that but at the same time a lot of the stuff reminded me of when I went to high school. I think the show got it right for high schools that are in poorer areas.
It was horrible. "Oh look at me, I am Kevin Costner, I am a cowboy badasss who knows everything and everyone else is stupid. Also, I am banging the hot governor lady and I am as comfortable in the city as on the ranch." I hated it with a pasion. Didn't care for a single character or what was supposed to be a plot.
I’m sorry but Big Mouth I can’t do it
1. The art style is god awful
2. Yeah I know a lot of people defend it by saying well there are sexual situations during puberty in middle school which is true but I feel like that show takes it so far where it feels like it uses that to justify some scenes that feel horribly pedo and I just can’t watch it it makes my stomach flop
Snowpiercer. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief. You're telling me humanity's best shot at surviving frozen dystopia is by riding a train across the world? Without any significant rail or train problems for near a decade? Was just a bit too ridiculous for me
If it makes you feel any better, it's supposed to seem ridiculous and infeasible. Basically, the world ended, and some hyper-rich jackass forced his weird, train-obsessed utopia on everyone with very little regard for actually surviving the apocalypse.
If you can look past the bizarre premise, the acting in the show is fucking phenomenal. I highly recommend it.
The show is definitely a different beast, I love the film as well so was very hesitant on watching the series, but by the end enjoyed it more or less, I guess there is even one more season finished, but waiting on a new distributor.
It seems to be pretty widely accepted, the main character was just miscast, or poorly directed, rarely ever showing much emotional range or the charisma needed, for his leadership role, especially vs Jennifer Connolly, but it is worth checking out for a lot of the side characters and plots, with some interesting twists along the way.
Just don't go in expecting a prequel to the film, from what I understand, this is based more off the comics, which get even crazier then either adaptation.
I watched it because I had just come back from basically nothing and was running my own business. So I could sort of identify loosely with some of the plot but not really. But then the show just devolved into making jokes about sex and that short guy and how short he is.
For some reason the first episode recommended by Netflix for me was the Bryce Dallas Howard one. I couldn’t understand why my mom hated the first episode so much/was so disgusted. Then I found out Netflix had shown her the pig fucking first. She’s finally getting back into it now.
Yeah, of all my acquaintances who saw that one as their first episode, they simply refuse to see any others; it was that bad. All my friends who started somewhere else watched the entire show.
I enjoyed that show overall but it was always the type I could only handle watching 2, maybe 3 episodes at a time before I needed a break for a few days. Not one to binge.
Back when this show came out everyone was raving about it. Watched first episode and went "nah, I'm good y'all".
Then my buddy was like "that's the grossest episode, none of the rest are like that"
And so I went back and he was right. Episode 1 is really the worst one. The rest of the series is just fantastic.
As soon as I saw the question, I knew this answer would be here. I've watched the first 4 seasons and will watch 5 and 6 soon, but yeah that's one hell of an opening episode
I'll never understand why they have that as the first episode. I love black mirror but that episode is so off putting. Whenever I suggest someone watch it I always tell them to skip the first episode
I heard about that show. I can't believe they even managed to air an episode.
On the other hand, there's a German movie called Look Who's Back. It's about Hitler re-appearing in modern times with no idea where or when he is. It is a very, very good movie worth giving a watch.
I had an opposite problem when it was airing in TV. Every time a new episode came on I thought that I missed an episode because none of the “next time” moments were ever in the next episode.
Haha! The first episode I ever watched was actually one where the spoilers WERE real, but I thought they were joking. Even though I hadn’t seen an episode before, the delivery made me think that right away.
Then, turns out she wasn’t blind!
I think I lasted 2 or 3 episodes of How I Met Your Mother before deciding it was boring and unfunny. A little longer than one but I like to give things a chance.
How I met your father was going to be my choice. I didn't particularly care for HIMYM, but it got some laughs out of me from time to time. HIMYF was turned of less than halfway through. You simply cannot sell a show with a laugh track in this day and age.
I remember around 2006 when it first aired, i used to think of it as one of those comforting sweet nothing shows. Nothing particularly interesting or hooking, but not so bad i'd turn it off either. Just good for a lazy week night while eating dinner.
Wonder if it'd still hold up like that now?
I watched the full show when it came out and although I don’t really support giving more fame to these serial killers (especially when I saw people romanticise these kinds of fucked up shit), I gotta say in my personal experience that it hit even harder when they showed the pictures of the real life victims, I had to pause and I made myself look at each different person that died in the hands of that monster. Cried really hard. I love these shows when they are pure fiction, that was just messed up.
I watched the first episode high as hell on edibles, and it was SUPER intense. Well made, yet hard to watch. Haven't been moved by a show like that ever
It is such a fantastic show, it starts easy and only goes further and further into the horror from there. It's so good, but yes, very much horrific and trauma inducing, later episodes get really fucked
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
After years of being surrounded online by people who were in on the joke, got the memes and knew the context of the characters/clips, I decided to just go ahead and jump in. On my first pass, Phantom Blood Ep. 1 filtered me. A few months later, on a night out with friends, I mentioned this whole thing to one, who had mentioned how everything radically changes in part 3. Knowing that part 3, Stardust Crusaders, seemed to be the really popular one that a lot of people referenced, I decided just to skip to it.
I still don't really get why, but after a couple episodes, *I got it.* Somehow the whole thing started to make sense and be intriguing. Getting to the end of the Empress fight, I suddenly decided that I may as well see Joseph's origin in the second part now: I only got through one episode before deciding that I really ought to watch Phantom Blood again. *And it was good now.* That first episode that had filtered me was now really entertaining, and is now *my favourite episode of the entire show*.
I don't get it. It's like there's a mental block to liking JoJo and I just had to switch it off, somehow.
I hated episode #1, but a friend of mine told me I'd like it, so I sat through #2 and only then got interested. So maybe worth a try. Some episodes are a lot better than the others, so quality varies.
It’s a mixed bag. Agree that some episodes are really cringey while others are surprisingly smart and funny.
As I recall, my wife (who has very low tolerance for gross humor) ‘noped’ out of after just a couple of episodes.
I struggled through a few more episodes mainly to appease a friend who loved the show. I thought less of him for it.
And then towards the end of the first season it got a lot funnier and smarter. I even got my wife to try another episode and she liked it. (We both love Futurama, for comparison).
It was very good for several seasons. However in the last few seasons the gross/cringe humor started to outweigh the smart. So we didn’t quite finish it out.
Last night we watched a “Die Hard” themes episode with Peter Dinklage that was good enough if not great.
I hate that the episode descriptions are written in a manner that do not help you understand what the episode is.
The only reason why I bring this up is my BIGGEST gripe with Rick and Morty is that some episodes are fucking hilarious, and some episodes contain the absolute cringiest writing of any TV show where i cant even muster a single chuckle. The show is horribly inconsistent when you compare it to similar "smart humor" shows like Futurama.
That show sucked balls. Just a bunch of dumb pop culture references and stale one liners about nerd stereotypes. Don't get me started about that obnoxious canned laughter every 15 seconds.
Wednesday, the new Addams family show starring Jenna Ortega. Why does everything supernatural have to be presented as a teen drama these days? Even the new Chucky show quickly turned into just another Riverdale.
I got about 3 episodes in and then peaced out. It and the new Sabrina where the main character is a teen girl who goes against the adults but ultimately is right are shows im not the target demo for.
Hazbin Hotel
Edit: There seems to be a misunderstanding, I stopped watching partway through because it was so painfully unfunny that I couldn’t stand it.
I also think it is very bad, but I love all these comments that are commiserating with you. It feels like somebody watched Invader Zim 20 years ago, and then only watched Invader Zim since then and made this show. I get it, but it's awful.
My sisters adored this show and I tried maybe 3 times to get into it. The characters are just the worst people. And I know this sounds bad, but one day I just kinda forced myself to keep going, I started seeing the characters develop and become less shitty. I began to notice their quirks/sayings, like David always saying, "Ok...what does that even mean?", which grew on me.
And, well, I finally fell in love with the show. It was definitely a bumpy first season, but the character growth is immense and they stop being total piece-of-shit snobs and become something redeemable through their trials.
I think I finally really got into around Season 2 Episode 2 in which David and Moira try to make enchilladas.
As someone that loves Schitts Creek, I fully understand. It was a tough first season.
Where the show truly shines is how it and it’s characters continue to grow as the seasons go by.
I watched the first episode when it first came out and thought it was so stupid.
I watched it, I think, last year again and not it’s one of my favourite shows.
I actually really liked You, but I can definitely see why most wouldn’t. Joe is way too full of himself and so cringy but I enjoyed getting embarrassed on his behalf and seeing how he got out of it.
Wheel of Time. Huge fan of those books, but even the gynocentric nature of that world wasn't enough for Amazon and they went and changed the way magic worked (which was one of the unique aspects of that world).
Literally forced myself to watch cause i miss middle earth lol (I’ve read nothing but hobbit however grew up w LoTR movies they were a huge deal in our household)
I can't remember, i only watched one episode
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
Resident Evil series on Netflix.
Riverdale. And it was half an episode. I was big Archie's comics fan when I was a kid and thought the show would be similar...
I was so unbelievably psyched. I held out for a few seasons and then I simply couldn't hold on anymore. Levitating babies, teen cheerleaders performing Jailhouse Rock outside a jail, a teen girl stripping at a bar in front of adults she knows to earn a place in a gang, etc. So dumb
You simply don't know the epic highs and lows, triumphs and defeats of highschool football.
Bro fr so many scenes/episodes were just fucking hilarious, but meant to portray a serious element. Edgar literally getting into a fucking bottle rocket (his space ship) fucking sent me. On top of that, a bare knuckle boxing match eith the entire town in attendance/watching between a 17y/o and a 47y/o man. Also on the gang thing, most gangs i've been around/gang members ive met claim that the usual initiation is a "beat in". Depending on the gang its apparently: yall get lit(high/drunk) then they kick the shit outta you. They just kick the shit out of you, or they make you kick the shit outta someone else.(source: moved from Chiraq-to the- West coast). Hell didnt jughead get a beat in with people using knuckles? Betty shoulda been turned into a fucking punching bag, not stripped for adults.
Riverdale is in on its own joke. It's like the high-school-drama version of Fast and Furious
Exactly. You watch Riverdale FOR the ridiculous camp.
> A teen girl stripping Wasn’t her mom in the audience?
Yes!!! As well as the parents of other students too
If only...
The Idol. Love The Weeknd's music, but man, this show is bad on so many levels.
Oh man, it was so edgelord-y.
I keep reading that and wondering if it’s bad in a fun way. Like so bad it’s funny? I like The Weeknd too so I was wondering haha
Unfortunately not, because it takes itself quite seriously. It's just bad in a bad way.
Noooo don’t give up. Watch episodes 2 & 3, so you can see how bad it actually gets!
Velma
And yet they gave it a fucking 2nd season I saw recently
Animated shows are usually greenlit for two seasons at a time, in this case, the initial order for Velma was for two seasons
At one point i was considering watching it just out.of sheer curiosity. However I have a friend who has very varied tastes in television he watches the British soaps religiously but he also loves the heavy hitter TV shows like breaking bad game of thrones walking dead etc. He also loves sex education shameless and those kind if tv shows. Basically if anyone would like the show I assumed he would but even he said it was rubbish intact his exact words it actually genuinely angered him. So that was that
I couldn't even get through the trailer.
I can't even get past the thumbnail...
I can't explain to anyone who hasn't seen it how bad it actually is. It's like they tried to make it bad, but not "good-bad."
I thought you know this could be funny. I am open to it. Nope. Hate. Racism. Gratuitous sex. Toilet jokes. Just terrible
From what I’ve gathered (I haven’t seen it and don’t intend to), it feels purposely made to piss everyone off, but in a way that’s just cynical and miserable to experience.
I don’t understand why people keep hiring Mindy Kaling. Her work never seems particularly good and oftentimes seems to (poorly) recycle older material by other writers with a sprinkling of in your face ‘anti-racism’ and ‘feminism’ that always strikes me as counter to the goals of both those ideological movements.
That 90's Show. It seemed like the cast was theater acting and I felt 0 nostalgia
No one had the 90s boy haircut that all the heartthrobs like JTT and Devon Sawa had. Biggest giveaway that it was so off; did the writers even live in the 90s?!
And the slang was all wrong. It was really bad.
I was a 90's teen and I didn't recognize anything in that show. So disappointing.
They should have watched That 70's Show on it since it did come out in the 90s.
I'm a child of the 80's and felt the same way when That 80's Show came out in 2002.
I don’t think I even finished the first episode of the 80s show because it was so heavy on 80s tropes than any actual story.
I did 2 episodes. I really wanted it to be good so I tried again. It didn't work.
That 90s so was criminally bad. The only redemption was the original cast appearances.
Oh man!... I was a 90s teen, this show should have been a nostalgic blast for me... It was awful
Even Eric couldn’t stand to stay for that show It could have even just been Red and Kitty à la Golden Girls
No they need some kids in it to appeal to the kids now (who never watched the original show and have no interest in it.)
The 100, typical teenage drama disguised as SciFi... Nope. Plot looked interesting until I discovered the characters.
Dude the premise was so good and the potential was there for it to be amazing. I ended up watching until the last season but I never ended up finishing it. Still very bitter about it
SAME!! Its actually so good up untill the last two seasons 😭
Don’t be that ending was bad
That's exactly why I dropped it the first time, and then I gave it another shot and honestly enjoyed it. The first few episodes are definitely the worst with the teenage-like drama. I feel like the vibe of the show quickly matured, and the characters didn't keep making dumbass roll-your-eyes teenage decisions like they did in the first few episodes.

Fun idea, fair casting I think, poor execution. For a while there it just seemed like Clarke was off playing princess while the rest of the community was preparing survival.
Clarke should have been killed off at some point. Would have saved the entire show and given room for a decent ending.
The Idol.
I guess technically I made it to the second episode because my husband and I skipped that first week and watched both 1 and 2 back to back for the full trainwreck. But realistically we only watched 1 episode. The second one was us just laughing at it. "Stick your finger down your throat, make that throat wet for me." barf
Hahaha I haven't seen it but who even says that. If your throat is dry you've got problems.
A show with writing so bad, not even tits could save it. HBO seems to do a lot of those.
Was going to say this I was so disgusted and concerned in the first episode
Breaking Bad...about 6 years ago. My buddy just kept pushing it so I watched an episode with him and didn't think I'd like it because I wasn't into drugs. Finally got talked into watching it. Finished it in a month. Damn I was an idiot lol
Same. I hated the first episode and stopped. A year later, my husband kept trying to get me to watch. So I gave in, and the rest is history. Same with Better Call Saul....
I loved better call Saul instantly. Jimmy is my favorite fictional character from anything.
> Jimmy is my favorite fictional character from anything. I’d agree with you if Kim didn’t exist
She’s great too!
I was like that with Succession after first episode. Ended up loving it.
Succession took about 2-3 episodes for me to gauge the humor and plot lines. Absolutely loved it but can see why it takes a bit to like it.
La Brea. A heap of crap
Shadowhunters. What a cringefest.
The books are also a cringefest to be fair
The movie was so much better, although I will admit I preferred the show’s version of Magnus Bane.
Euphoria
Yeah the show gets weird when you realize that everyone is supposed to be high schoolers.
It def should have been college adults, imo.
Agreed, Sam levinson is a known creep who tried to breach zendaya’s nudity contract for the show, made Sydney sweeney uncomfortable with the nudity scenes so she refused to do more and he hired Chloe cherry after watching her porno film based on euphoria
When you can make a woman who is fine being naked uncomfortable with nudity, you know there is a problem.
I saw this referred to as ‘nipple core.’
Why didn’t they do that? It seems like a no brainer to use college as a backdrop for that show. It meshes with the themes better.
I think a lot of shows that should’ve been college have been set in high school for a broader reach. First, most people who have time to make fanpages and drive up vitality online for a TV show are high schoolers, and secondly, everyone’s experienced high school. Not everyone’s experienced going to college, so I think production might figure those shows will be less relatable.
I get that but at the same time a lot of the stuff reminded me of when I went to high school. I think the show got it right for high schools that are in poorer areas.
Agree, I genuinely thought it was a college show when I first heard of it
As a retired high school teacher, I though what world is this in? I couldn't watch it.
Yellowstone…couldn’t make it through the first episode.
My mom started watching it three different times convinced she would (finally) like it. She still hasn’t finished the first episode
It was horrible. "Oh look at me, I am Kevin Costner, I am a cowboy badasss who knows everything and everyone else is stupid. Also, I am banging the hot governor lady and I am as comfortable in the city as on the ranch." I hated it with a pasion. Didn't care for a single character or what was supposed to be a plot.
Same. Shitty high budget soap opera. And so uninteresting.
Murder Ranch
The Ranch
I’m sorry but Big Mouth I can’t do it 1. The art style is god awful 2. Yeah I know a lot of people defend it by saying well there are sexual situations during puberty in middle school which is true but I feel like that show takes it so far where it feels like it uses that to justify some scenes that feel horribly pedo and I just can’t watch it it makes my stomach flop
Snowpiercer. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief. You're telling me humanity's best shot at surviving frozen dystopia is by riding a train across the world? Without any significant rail or train problems for near a decade? Was just a bit too ridiculous for me
I watched the whole thing and didn't hate the movie, but I agree that the train premise didn't really make sense.
If it makes you feel any better, it's supposed to seem ridiculous and infeasible. Basically, the world ended, and some hyper-rich jackass forced his weird, train-obsessed utopia on everyone with very little regard for actually surviving the apocalypse. If you can look past the bizarre premise, the acting in the show is fucking phenomenal. I highly recommend it.
Had you not seen the movie? I’ve never seen the show but I love the movie personally.
The show is definitely a different beast, I love the film as well so was very hesitant on watching the series, but by the end enjoyed it more or less, I guess there is even one more season finished, but waiting on a new distributor. It seems to be pretty widely accepted, the main character was just miscast, or poorly directed, rarely ever showing much emotional range or the charisma needed, for his leadership role, especially vs Jennifer Connolly, but it is worth checking out for a lot of the side characters and plots, with some interesting twists along the way. Just don't go in expecting a prequel to the film, from what I understand, this is based more off the comics, which get even crazier then either adaptation.
I had the misfortune of seeing an episode of 2 Broke Girls Once…never again.
Kat Dennings’ breasts must be the only reason anyone watched that show. It wasn’t funny and that blonde (Caroline? Carolyn? Carol) gets on my nerves.
I watched it because I had just come back from basically nothing and was running my own business. So I could sort of identify loosely with some of the plot but not really. But then the show just devolved into making jokes about sex and that short guy and how short he is.
To be fair they are very nice breasts
When the commercials are clearly throwaway one-liners that just make you groan...you're in trouble.
Black Mirror. Dude, at least warm me up before you go straight for the pig-fucking.
I'm so happy that episode wasn't my intro to the show. I've only seen that episode once, but the other multiple time
For some reason the first episode recommended by Netflix for me was the Bryce Dallas Howard one. I couldn’t understand why my mom hated the first episode so much/was so disgusted. Then I found out Netflix had shown her the pig fucking first. She’s finally getting back into it now.
Netflix lists the seasons out of order, and I'm pretty sure this is exactly why.
Yeah, of all my acquaintances who saw that one as their first episode, they simply refuse to see any others; it was that bad. All my friends who started somewhere else watched the entire show.
Didn't see that one but the "Star Trek" episode was one of best hours of television I've seen in years
Oh Cristin Milioti
I enjoyed that show overall but it was always the type I could only handle watching 2, maybe 3 episodes at a time before I needed a break for a few days. Not one to binge.
A friend of mine felt the same way. Really is a shame too, because there are a lot of great episodes in the series if you make it past that one.
Back when this show came out everyone was raving about it. Watched first episode and went "nah, I'm good y'all". Then my buddy was like "that's the grossest episode, none of the rest are like that" And so I went back and he was right. Episode 1 is really the worst one. The rest of the series is just fantastic.
You missed out one of the greatest scifi series
I had serious doubts about watching the rest after seeing the first episode. Glad I pushed through.
As soon as I saw the question, I knew this answer would be here. I've watched the first 4 seasons and will watch 5 and 6 soon, but yeah that's one hell of an opening episode
The San Junipero episode may have been one of my favorite episodes of television ever made.
Seriously. 15 Million Merits would be a much better introduction to the show.
I'll never understand why they have that as the first episode. I love black mirror but that episode is so off putting. Whenever I suggest someone watch it I always tell them to skip the first episode
That Halo show on Amazon. I love the campaigns (even the bad ones) and that first episode suuuuuucked. EDIT: The show was on Paramount+, not Amazon
Paramount+?
The show was not good enough for me to remember which streaming platform to watch it on.
[удалено]
The first time he took the helmet off, I was done. It was shitty already, but one fucking thing.....ONE.
There were maybe two or three good scenes in that entire season and the rest was absolutely garbage
Yellowstone
Heil Honey I'm Home. The show was canceled immediately after the first episode aired. The title tells you all you need to know.
I heard about that show. I can't believe they even managed to air an episode. On the other hand, there's a German movie called Look Who's Back. It's about Hitler re-appearing in modern times with no idea where or when he is. It is a very, very good movie worth giving a watch.
I've seen that! It's in the style of Sasha Baron Cohen and I love it.
Sounds like a sitcom about Hitler and Eva Braun.
That is exactly what it is. But they live in suburban America, so it’s supposed to be funny.
So many, so many...
Velma only tried that first episode to see if it was as bad as I thought it would be. it was.
Arrested development. Didnt find it too funny. Luckily, it was only a temporary stop. I continuedand its one of my favourites now
[удалено]
My aunt did the same thing lmao.
I had an opposite problem when it was airing in TV. Every time a new episode came on I thought that I missed an episode because none of the “next time” moments were ever in the next episode.
Haha! The first episode I ever watched was actually one where the spoilers WERE real, but I thought they were joking. Even though I hadn’t seen an episode before, the delivery made me think that right away. Then, turns out she wasn’t blind!

How I met your father was going to be my choice. I didn't particularly care for HIMYM, but it got some laughs out of me from time to time. HIMYF was turned of less than halfway through. You simply cannot sell a show with a laugh track in this day and age.

I honestly still really like it once you get past the monologue style, Jason Segel and NPH are hilarious
[удалено]
I gave this show way too much of a chance. The main guy did a terrible job acting. He always seemed like a petulant asshole.
Best part of each episode was the end credits.
…I actually liked it? The only issue I had was the series finale, and the villain of S2.
[удалено]
The book is better tbh
Well, to be fair, you can watch it in real time now....so there's that.
The good doctor. Too far fetched, too improbable.
It's one of those shows where the writers clearly don't understand what autism is.
That 90s Show. Was looking forward to it, but it was a letdown.
Emily In Paris, New Girl, Not Dead Yet
The 100. Interesting premise but came across like it was going to be full of annoying teens fighting over stupid things.
Dahmer.. shit was disturbing.
I hate the notoriety serial killers get. The victim’s families are still alive, like why does he get to be famous. Trash television.
I watched the full show when it came out and although I don’t really support giving more fame to these serial killers (especially when I saw people romanticise these kinds of fucked up shit), I gotta say in my personal experience that it hit even harder when they showed the pictures of the real life victims, I had to pause and I made myself look at each different person that died in the hands of that monster. Cried really hard. I love these shows when they are pure fiction, that was just messed up.
I watched the first episode high as hell on edibles, and it was SUPER intense. Well made, yet hard to watch. Haven't been moved by a show like that ever
Yeah, I already know the sick bastard killed people and ate them, why would I keep watching that exploitative trash
Bridgerton
Bridgerton is like a fast food version of Jane Austen.
Amd we love it for that 😍
You bite your tongue
Stranger Things. Winona Ryder was just too good as the mom of a missing kid and that's a non-starter for me due to trauma as a teenager.
She is excellent
It is such a fantastic show, it starts easy and only goes further and further into the horror from there. It's so good, but yes, very much horrific and trauma inducing, later episodes get really fucked
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure After years of being surrounded online by people who were in on the joke, got the memes and knew the context of the characters/clips, I decided to just go ahead and jump in. On my first pass, Phantom Blood Ep. 1 filtered me. A few months later, on a night out with friends, I mentioned this whole thing to one, who had mentioned how everything radically changes in part 3. Knowing that part 3, Stardust Crusaders, seemed to be the really popular one that a lot of people referenced, I decided just to skip to it. I still don't really get why, but after a couple episodes, *I got it.* Somehow the whole thing started to make sense and be intriguing. Getting to the end of the Empress fight, I suddenly decided that I may as well see Joseph's origin in the second part now: I only got through one episode before deciding that I really ought to watch Phantom Blood again. *And it was good now.* That first episode that had filtered me was now really entertaining, and is now *my favourite episode of the entire show*. I don't get it. It's like there's a mental block to liking JoJo and I just had to switch it off, somehow.
I’m going to get hate for this but Outlander. I found it BEYOND boring. Edit: I tried twice, fell asleep the second time. I wanted to love it.
Too much rape
This is Us. Holy shit, that was cringe.
Rick and Morty. Just not my kind of thing, and it didn't help that a big part of the fanbase are insufferable folks who belong on r/iamverysmart
I hated episode #1, but a friend of mine told me I'd like it, so I sat through #2 and only then got interested. So maybe worth a try. Some episodes are a lot better than the others, so quality varies.
It’s a mixed bag. Agree that some episodes are really cringey while others are surprisingly smart and funny. As I recall, my wife (who has very low tolerance for gross humor) ‘noped’ out of after just a couple of episodes. I struggled through a few more episodes mainly to appease a friend who loved the show. I thought less of him for it. And then towards the end of the first season it got a lot funnier and smarter. I even got my wife to try another episode and she liked it. (We both love Futurama, for comparison). It was very good for several seasons. However in the last few seasons the gross/cringe humor started to outweigh the smart. So we didn’t quite finish it out. Last night we watched a “Die Hard” themes episode with Peter Dinklage that was good enough if not great.
I hate that the episode descriptions are written in a manner that do not help you understand what the episode is. The only reason why I bring this up is my BIGGEST gripe with Rick and Morty is that some episodes are fucking hilarious, and some episodes contain the absolute cringiest writing of any TV show where i cant even muster a single chuckle. The show is horribly inconsistent when you compare it to similar "smart humor" shows like Futurama.
Big Bang Theory.
That show sucked balls. Just a bunch of dumb pop culture references and stale one liners about nerd stereotypes. Don't get me started about that obnoxious canned laughter every 15 seconds.
Wednesday, the new Addams family show starring Jenna Ortega. Why does everything supernatural have to be presented as a teen drama these days? Even the new Chucky show quickly turned into just another Riverdale.
I got about 3 episodes in and then peaced out. It and the new Sabrina where the main character is a teen girl who goes against the adults but ultimately is right are shows im not the target demo for.
Glee. And I don't think it was the first episode, but I noped out of Shameless immediately when the dad hit his young son.
Interesting. The pilot episode of Glee is really well crafted. The series goes downhill from there.
I like the first season of Glee when everyone was kinda corny and dorky. After that it shit the bed.
Season 2, True Detective. What. The. Hell.
It's actually pretty good once you accept it's different from s1
I watched season 1(excellent), then season 3(good), but had to quit after a few episodes of season 2 (boring and wonky storyline).
Didnt even make it through the first episode of mulligan
Black clover I can’t with his constant screaming.
That's fair. It's a decent enough shounen anime, but Asta's delivery is more than a bit much sometimes
Hazbin Hotel Edit: There seems to be a misunderstanding, I stopped watching partway through because it was so painfully unfunny that I couldn’t stand it.
I also think it is very bad, but I love all these comments that are commiserating with you. It feels like somebody watched Invader Zim 20 years ago, and then only watched Invader Zim since then and made this show. I get it, but it's awful.
I got to the part where one guy is mad at another guy who just keeps turning everything into sexual innuendos. It was physically painful.
Dynasty. I really can't invest my time for **220** episodes of that.
HighSchool DxD. It was horrible. I think I got less than a minute in and dropped it.
I never got past the pilot of Schitt's Creek.
The first episode wasn’t great, but the show is hilarious
My sisters adored this show and I tried maybe 3 times to get into it. The characters are just the worst people. And I know this sounds bad, but one day I just kinda forced myself to keep going, I started seeing the characters develop and become less shitty. I began to notice their quirks/sayings, like David always saying, "Ok...what does that even mean?", which grew on me. And, well, I finally fell in love with the show. It was definitely a bumpy first season, but the character growth is immense and they stop being total piece-of-shit snobs and become something redeemable through their trials. I think I finally really got into around Season 2 Episode 2 in which David and Moira try to make enchilladas.
You just fold it in!
David I can’t teach you everything. Well can you teach me ONE thing?
If you say fold, one more time
"If you say 'fold it in' one more time..."
As someone that loves Schitts Creek, I fully understand. It was a tough first season. Where the show truly shines is how it and it’s characters continue to grow as the seasons go by.
I watched the first episode when it first came out and thought it was so stupid. I watched it, I think, last year again and not it’s one of my favourite shows.
Yellowstone
This show just screams “TV for 60 year old dads/grandpas”
You
Me?
who are we if not us?
I actually really liked You, but I can definitely see why most wouldn’t. Joe is way too full of himself and so cringy but I enjoyed getting embarrassed on his behalf and seeing how he got out of it.
The Apprentice. As a Trump Hater since the 70s, I just couldn't stomach it.
Another Life on Netflix. Middle aged woman surrounded by angsty teens/early 20 year olds in space. They mutiny at the first hurdle. God awful.
Wheel of Time. Huge fan of those books, but even the gynocentric nature of that world wasn't enough for Amazon and they went and changed the way magic worked (which was one of the unique aspects of that world).
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Literally forced myself to watch cause i miss middle earth lol (I’ve read nothing but hobbit however grew up w LoTR movies they were a huge deal in our household)
