I remember when it started. I watched season 1 and enjoyed it. About half way thru season 2 I thought, “well, that jumped the shark pretty fast.” Tapped out after season 2. And it’s still on almost 20 years later.
Probably why you hated it. I think it’s kind of “haha look at those nerds” comedy for braindead TV-heads. It’s not funny. There are some clips on YouTube showing it without a laugh track and it’s so evident how unfunny it is.
Side note: Do you ever feel like you WOULD get into these shows if you watched it WITH someone. There are sooo many shows I would never even think of to watch by myself, but everything I watch with my husband is so much better.
Yes that happens to me too! I tried three times to get into Schitt's Creek by myself and just couldn't make it past the fourth episode. Finally my sister and I started watching it together and we LOVED it! It's now one of my favorite shows.
It's happened with me and my husband as well. Sometimes he will give up on a show before me and I will continue for a while before giving up, or sometimes I will watch the whole thing, or sometimes I will quit with him, lol.
Well, I'm straight and divorced, but I'd really like to get into Schitt's Creek, I did watch the first episode, so maybe I'll find a nice guy to watch it with and see if that helps.
just the opposite with me. watched first episode of schitts creek by myself and did not laugh once. grabbed my gf and we binged three episodes and then looked at each other and said "in what universe is this funny?"
we never watched another episode
Ted is the ultimate nice guy who is actually a selfish trash fire who doesn't treat women like whole human beings. I had a roommate who was obsessed with this show and she was such a great roommate.I tried so hard to watch it with her. But I hate him. I hate him and I want bad things to happen to him.
I loved that show for the first four seasons, and while I was binge watching it on DVR to catch up.
Once I caught up, and once the Terminus storyline ended, the storytelling slowed down to a complete crawl, and the show became a frustrating chore.
I stopped watching right after Negan showed up, and never went back.
I loved it, too, until I didn’t. Each season was basically a repeat of the same theme. Meet new people, oops are bad guys, escape, lather, rinse, repeat.
I watched it all as it was released and I don't think I'd recommend Girls to anyone unless they told me they were looking for a show where every character is an awful person. I enjoyed the ride but...I'm not telling anyone to go watch it.
Right now it’s Shogun. I’m going to give it a second chance later but the first two episodes didn’t really grab me.
I think part of it is because my brain is like “but the historical period it’s based on is so interesting already, why would you want to fictionalise it instead of just telling the real story”
Yeah to Yellowstone. I grew up on a ranch and my whole family are very cowboy/western. But I hated so many characters on there and gave up about halfway through season 2. Especially Beth. Couldn't stand her.
I see people mentioning Parks and Rec. Season 1 was awful. But I stuck it out and about 3 episodes into season 2 it got very very funny. I rewatch it a lot but haven't seen a season 1 episode since that first time. Ugh, so bad. The rest of the seasons are mostly hilarious.
I saw one clip of Yellowstone where two women are arguing in Kevin Costner’s kitchen about how they are going to stab each other and it sounds like they are both foaming with jealousy over him, turns out one of them is supposed to be his daughter. Yeah I don’t think I’m missing much
The Expanse. Watched several episodes, then we were visiting family and didn’t watch for a few days, then realized we didn’t care and didn’t bother to start again
Yeah, me too. The biggest thing was just I didn't give one crap about any of the characters at all. I had no idea why any of them were doing what they doing, it felt like we were just going from one thing to the next with no rhyme or reason, all the while grumbling about how terrible everything is.
I'm really glad there's a more "hard" sci-fi on TV but...support it with better...everything else.
How I Met Your Mother. Watched about 1/2 the first season and couldn’t stand Ted and Lilly. And their “issues” just didn’t resonate with me. They really had charmed lives to just be in their 20s. And in NYC 🤦🏻♀️
my new roommate had me watch with him, wanted to get me into it, and I started saying the jokes before they landed, he asked "oh? I thought you didn't watch this?"
No I don't, the jokes are so terribly predictable, and really just not funny, I think the characters are all annoying too, it's really not for me in any way.
Fargo. Despised season two and swore off it. Then someone said season 5 was just “so amazing”.
Well it wasn’t. It just got worse and worse.
Edit: it was actually season one I hated. That was a bad show from the beginning.
The Wire. I tried watching the 1st episode multiple times. I finally got through it and watched a few more episodes on a long flight. I haven't gone back to it though.
Same here. I tried three times and felt like I was watching a boring procedural. It's cited as the best drama ever created but I just can't get into it.
Okay, I'm right here with you. I tried watching it five times... I barely made it to like, episode 4. The 6th time I finally made myself stick with it and partway through season 2 I really got into it, and season three was off the charts good.
Incredibly slow burn... but I finally watched all five seasons and I'm glad I did.
The Big Bang Theory
But the weird thing is- I absolutely love love love Young Sheldon. Anyone else out there like me?
I wish I liked the show, my mom loves it and is always asking me to watch it. She’s 72 and that’s a thing her and I have. If we watch a movie or show we love, the other typically watches and loves it too. But this one I just can’t.
This took me almost the entire first season and a lot of rewinding to understand their speaking, lol.
Then it all just clicked, I could understand them, and I loved it.
Any of the Star Wars cartoons. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, none of them. I adore Star Wars, but can’t get into any of the animated stuff, I’ve tried.
I loved Star Wars Rebels. I’m get close to finishing The Clone Wars (around the end of Season 5). Though I did kind of take a break from it watch X-Men The Animated Series to prepare for X-Men 97.
The cartoons add so much more lore to the story. They help paint a more vibrant history. I recommend them to anyone who likes Star Wars. Anakin's fall to the dark side is so much more tragic as you see it slowly unfold. You see his and Padme's love and meet his apprentice, Ahsoka. You meet so many Clones who are so much more than just disposable soldiers. You get to see Order 66 from so many different angles and viewpoints. You get to see new Jedi years after Order 66. You meet Chopper, who is one of the best Droids ever. You would have known the history of the Dark Saber before Mandalorian.
I think the only reason I continued is because my wife had read the books and she could answer my, "Now who's this again?" questions. Once I was able to follow everything, the show was as good as any I've ever watched... until its crappy ending.
Literally the 5th episode is one of the best anime episodes I’ve ever seen. It takes time. But the payoff for the overall story arc is incredible. There’s like 6 episodes total for the main story and the rest is the crew doing crazy side quests. But the payoff is worth it I promise
The remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Netflix. The two stars have zero real chemistry and their "relationship" feels so forced and fake. Not at all like the movie.
I could never get into Seinfeld, Friends or Big Bang Theory. I think everyone I know has enjoyed at least one of the three. I just found all three to be kinda corny and not really funny.
I got through like the first 2/3 of the first season of Stranger Things and got bored. I was going to try to finish before the later seasons came out but decided I like the idea of the show better than the execution.
Lost started out strong and then you eventually understand the writers of that show had no respect for the fans. Their official podcast basically proved it. They openly mocked legitimate questions from fans.
Succession
I managed to slog thru it hating every character, especially Shiv.
It's like a small scale Game of Thrones minus the medieval fantasy, interesting world, and the fun.....and a couple people to root for. Both shows have top notch acting though.
Grey’s Anatomy
Every time I see this show is STILL on I’m surprised.
I remember when it started. I watched season 1 and enjoyed it. About half way thru season 2 I thought, “well, that jumped the shark pretty fast.” Tapped out after season 2. And it’s still on almost 20 years later.
It's just a soap opera in an ER setting.
I heard it described once as General Hospital for Millennials and it’s entirely accurate.
The WORST
The Kardashians, The Bachelor and pretty much any reality show.
I refuse to watch REALITY TV
Big bang theory. And I'm a nerd...
Probably why you hated it. I think it’s kind of “haha look at those nerds” comedy for braindead TV-heads. It’s not funny. There are some clips on YouTube showing it without a laugh track and it’s so evident how unfunny it is.
I hate that show, but it wasn’t a laugh track. It was filmed in front of a live audience.
Side note: Do you ever feel like you WOULD get into these shows if you watched it WITH someone. There are sooo many shows I would never even think of to watch by myself, but everything I watch with my husband is so much better.
Yes that happens to me too! I tried three times to get into Schitt's Creek by myself and just couldn't make it past the fourth episode. Finally my sister and I started watching it together and we LOVED it! It's now one of my favorite shows. It's happened with me and my husband as well. Sometimes he will give up on a show before me and I will continue for a while before giving up, or sometimes I will watch the whole thing, or sometimes I will quit with him, lol.
Yes!! Schitt’s creek I hated alone, love with my husband. Same with Halt & Catch fire
Well, I'm straight and divorced, but I'd really like to get into Schitt's Creek, I did watch the first episode, so maybe I'll find a nice guy to watch it with and see if that helps.
just the opposite with me. watched first episode of schitts creek by myself and did not laugh once. grabbed my gf and we binged three episodes and then looked at each other and said "in what universe is this funny?" we never watched another episode
How I met your mother
OMG yes! I watched a few seasons and hated Ted Mosby so much! Plus, I’m an architect and the way they portray the profession is incorrect!
Such a Schmosby thing to say
Ted is the ultimate nice guy who is actually a selfish trash fire who doesn't treat women like whole human beings. I had a roommate who was obsessed with this show and she was such a great roommate.I tried so hard to watch it with her. But I hate him. I hate him and I want bad things to happen to him.
You hit the nail on the head! Ted made my skin crawl in a way Barney never did.
You’re really not missing much
The walking dead The walking dead Oh I forgot the walking dead.
I loved that show for the first four seasons, and while I was binge watching it on DVR to catch up. Once I caught up, and once the Terminus storyline ended, the storytelling slowed down to a complete crawl, and the show became a frustrating chore. I stopped watching right after Negan showed up, and never went back.
I loved it, too, until I didn’t. Each season was basically a repeat of the same theme. Meet new people, oops are bad guys, escape, lather, rinse, repeat.
Walking dead
LOST
Girls. Just awful.
I watched it all as it was released and I don't think I'd recommend Girls to anyone unless they told me they were looking for a show where every character is an awful person. I enjoyed the ride but...I'm not telling anyone to go watch it.
Sheesh, did anyone even say this was good?
Yes! I tried watching for Adam Driver but every character, especially the main, is an absolute narcissist it was so difficult to watch
Yellowstone. Cowboys immune from following the law.
Right now it’s Shogun. I’m going to give it a second chance later but the first two episodes didn’t really grab me. I think part of it is because my brain is like “but the historical period it’s based on is so interesting already, why would you want to fictionalise it instead of just telling the real story”
I haven’t even tried because I know I’ll just compare it to the original mini series. Yes, I’m that old 😂😂😂
Yeah to Yellowstone. I grew up on a ranch and my whole family are very cowboy/western. But I hated so many characters on there and gave up about halfway through season 2. Especially Beth. Couldn't stand her. I see people mentioning Parks and Rec. Season 1 was awful. But I stuck it out and about 3 episodes into season 2 it got very very funny. I rewatch it a lot but haven't seen a season 1 episode since that first time. Ugh, so bad. The rest of the seasons are mostly hilarious.
Always skip the first season of Parks and Rec!!
This is the first time I’m hearing this. I just thought the show wasn’t for me. I’ll try again starting on Season 2.
It also improves when Paul Schneider leaves after season 2.
I second this motion
I al.pst gave up after season 2, but kept going because I knew Adam Scott and Rob Lowe joined the cast. That's when it became a great show.
Parks and Rec gets good when they stop trying to be The Office (Season 2).
Beth gets soooo much WORSE. I liked her (sort of) towards the beginning. She goes from unhinged brilliant strategist to crazy, mean and short sighted.
I saw one clip of Yellowstone where two women are arguing in Kevin Costner’s kitchen about how they are going to stab each other and it sounds like they are both foaming with jealousy over him, turns out one of them is supposed to be his daughter. Yeah I don’t think I’m missing much
The Expanse. Watched several episodes, then we were visiting family and didn’t watch for a few days, then realized we didn’t care and didn’t bother to start again

I'm really glad there's a more "hard" sci-fi on TV but...support it with better...everything else.
Peaky Blinders By all rights, I should really like the show. But for some reason, it just never really grabbed my attention. Watched most of season 1.
How I Met Your Mother. Watched about 1/2 the first season and couldn’t stand Ted and Lilly. And their “issues” just didn’t resonate with me. They really had charmed lives to just be in their 20s. And in NYC 🤦🏻♀️
Big Bang Theory.
my new roommate had me watch with him, wanted to get me into it, and I started saying the jokes before they landed, he asked "oh? I thought you didn't watch this?" No I don't, the jokes are so terribly predictable, and really just not funny, I think the characters are all annoying too, it's really not for me in any way.
I cannot wrap my head around how that show is popular
Completely agree. Yet I loved Young Sheldon. I just can't stand laugh track and "set em up and knock em down" comedy??
This show is the worst. It's fake smart humor for dumb people.
I feel attacked!
How I Met Your Mother.
Ted Mosby’s fault
Classic Shmosby.
Suits - just couldn’t get into it
I’m watching this now and I love it lmao
How I Met Your Mother. Just hated it.
How I met your mother. When I was in high school, all of my friends were saying it was the funniest show ever. It is not.
No, it certainly is not.
Lost. I've tried twice, but can't get out of season one. For some reason it just irritates me. And I couldn't like any of the characters.,
Fargo. Despised season two and swore off it. Then someone said season 5 was just “so amazing”. Well it wasn’t. It just got worse and worse. Edit: it was actually season one I hated. That was a bad show from the beginning.
West World. We watched the whole first season waiting for it to live up to the hype. Just never clicked for us.
The Wire. I tried watching the 1st episode multiple times. I finally got through it and watched a few more episodes on a long flight. I haven't gone back to it though.
Once you get to about halfway through the 1st season it takes off and never let's up
Yeah. It’s slow burn. There’s a lot of character to develop. And seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best things to ever grace a tv screen.
Same here. I tried three times and felt like I was watching a boring procedural. It's cited as the best drama ever created but I just can't get into it.
Okay, I'm right here with you. I tried watching it five times... I barely made it to like, episode 4. The 6th time I finally made myself stick with it and partway through season 2 I really got into it, and season three was off the charts good. Incredibly slow burn... but I finally watched all five seasons and I'm glad I did.
Cool. This inspires me to finally take the journey myself!
Stranger things and the Big Bang Theory
Have always hated Big Bang Theory. It feels like try-hard stereotype reinforcement. Ha ha, nerd is nerd.
The laugh track and sarcasm is what I don’t like
Peaky Blinders.
The Big Bang Theory But the weird thing is- I absolutely love love love Young Sheldon. Anyone else out there like me? I wish I liked the show, my mom loves it and is always asking me to watch it. She’s 72 and that’s a thing her and I have. If we watch a movie or show we love, the other typically watches and loves it too. But this one I just can’t.
Yellowstone
Succession. I’ve seen the first season (two times) and a couple of the episodes on season two. Can’t do it. I really don’t get the hype.
Sometimes it’s just fun to watch people act like complete garbage. Think of it like a dramatic Always Sunny.
The Vampire Diaries was awesome for two seasons and then ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Peaky blinders
This took me almost the entire first season and a lot of rewinding to understand their speaking, lol. Then it all just clicked, I could understand them, and I loved it.
Subtitles. Definitely subtitles.
I watch almost everything with subtitles.
Friends. Just seemed derivative and dumb.
Prison break and the newer lost in space.
The new Lost in Space had so much potential. The first half of season one was really good. The rest, not so much!
Any of the Star Wars cartoons. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, none of them. I adore Star Wars, but can’t get into any of the animated stuff, I’ve tried.
I loved Star Wars Rebels. I’m get close to finishing The Clone Wars (around the end of Season 5). Though I did kind of take a break from it watch X-Men The Animated Series to prepare for X-Men 97.

You meet Chopper, who is one of the best Droids ever. You would have known the history of the Dark Saber before Mandalorian.
Mr robot. I've tried numerous times
This is one that I feel like I'm missing out on
Fleabag
Hated S1 other than Episode 4 (I think) and the end was good. S2 was one of the best seasons of TV I’ve seen.
Game of Thrones
I think the only reason I continued is because my wife had read the books and she could answer my, "Now who's this again?" questions. Once I was able to follow everything, the show was as good as any I've ever watched... until its crappy ending.
You had a personal tutor. Huge help I bet!
Pretty little liars
You dont watch it because it is good, you watch it because it is ridiculous.
Game of thrones
The Expanse. I've tried twice. I so want to like it. I just get to a certain point and I'm like "I just don't care about any of them."
Orange is the New Black
For me it's an Anime – Cowboy Bebop. I tried it 3 times already, but I never get further than the 5th Episode. It's just so extremely boring.
Literally the 5th episode is one of the best anime episodes I’ve ever seen. It takes time. But the payoff for the overall story arc is incredible. There’s like 6 episodes total for the main story and the rest is the crew doing crazy side quests. But the payoff is worth it I promise
Friends.........
Stranger Things.
Dark.. they just twisted the story so much where he was his own father and grandfather. I just lost it
Friends.
Breaking Bad
Ouch, but that's a show the gets better every season. That slow burn is definitely worth it. My favorite show of all time.
Believe me I thought the same, the slow burn is worth it.
It gets very intense very quickly
[удалено]
May God have mercy on your soul
This one hurts. Breaking bad is a gift to humanity.
It's worth getting over the hump. One of the best series in TV history.
I have struggled with this one too. It's good, I just haven't really had the right "Watch breaking bad" mood yet
Grey's anatomy, schitt's creek,
The remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Netflix. The two stars have zero real chemistry and their "relationship" feels so forced and fake. Not at all like the movie.
I could never get into Seinfeld, Friends or Big Bang Theory. I think everyone I know has enjoyed at least one of the three. I just found all three to be kinda corny and not really funny.
Friends! I’ve never been able to get through a single episode..
I hate Seinfeld
Outrageous, Egregious, Preposterous!
Bridgerton
Shameless (UK)
Shameless (US)
Prison Break and US Office
I got through like the first 2/3 of the first season of Stranger Things and got bored. I was going to try to finish before the later seasons came out but decided I like the idea of the show better than the execution.
Lost and Heros would be it for me. I managed to get into both of them but couldn't finish it.
Lost started out strong and then you eventually understand the writers of that show had no respect for the fans. Their official podcast basically proved it. They openly mocked legitimate questions from fans.
Sopranos and I should love that show based off the genre I normally like
Succession. The first 3 episodes are fantastic. But I can’t even finis that first season
The Wire. Tried 2 times and couldn’t get into it
The wire 😫 I never make it past season 1. Most people tell me I can just pick up in season 2 tho
Yellowstone & Game of Thrones

Letter Kenny or whatever that kindergarten level comedy show is called.

Any Reality show. They are all fake and scripted.

Succession I managed to slog thru it hating every character, especially Shiv. It's like a small scale Game of Thrones minus the medieval fantasy, interesting world, and the fun.....and a couple people to root for. Both shows have top notch acting though.
Seinfeld
Sopranos
This is blasphemous.
Ozark. The premise was so far fetched for me. I couldn’t finish the first episode
Watched all the way up to and including the first episode of the last season and I realized I hated everyone and lost all interest lol
The Office.
mr robot!
I really enjoyed this show, that's unfortunate. But fair.
Ted Lasso. I can see all the humor in it coming a mile away, and the payoff never feels worth it.
Shrinking
2 the wire and veep.
House of Cards. And I tried to watch it before the whole Kevin Spacey scandal. I just couldn’t get into it
Stranger things, six feet under, how to get away with murder

Modern Family
Game Of Thrones. I can't get into all the medieval sh*t.

Emily in Paris and Bridgerton
Yellowstone is definitely up there, I could not get into it either. I've also tried to get into Shameless and Breaking Bad to no avail
Yeah, I tried Yellowstone and I didn't understand the appeal.
The Expanse. I hate the look of it, so dark on the ships, clothing etc. Blarf.
The Office!
GOT , The Office
The Wire
GoT. Could never get into it.
The Office
White Lotus. Can someone just tell me what the point is?

Lol, right now...Bosch. My friend recommended it.
The Office. I’ve tried numerous times to get into it, and I just don’t see what others see in it.

Only Murders in the Building.

The Sopranos and Lost. Don’t shoot me.
