Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.

    Naw man, I’m pretty sure The Princess Bride is pretty universal to anyone around the world who grew up in the 80-90a.

    walking dead seemed boring. maybe it was just the pilot though. in general i dont like movies since having proper long story is better than everything being crammed into couple of hours.

      I was a background actor in that one. It got some awards that season too, I heard. I still didn’t watch it, cause I’m not a sports fan and figured I wouldn’t get anything out of it. I like Sudeikis though. I’m an SNL fan. I should probably check it out someday

    The Cabin in the Woods. I know so many horror fans who are enamoured with all the references in this movie. And yeah, the references are cute. But do they understand that it’s shitting on every movie it references, and shitting on horror fans for liking them? The plot is built around the idea that every movie it references is formulaic, contrived pablum. Kinda hard for me to get past the sneering superiority of it all.

    Dexter. I was good until season 3, killing off the wife ruined it for me. My gf stuck it out until the shitty ending when they killed his sister. They can shove the new rehash up their asses as far as I’m concerned, I’m not falling for another rug-pull.

      What for you is the start of South Park?

      I was really into the first few seasons as a teenager in the 90s, but watching them today it is comical to me how bad they are. The later seasons are infinitely better written and more interesting.

      I read an interview with Stone/Parker once and they said something like “we had absolutely no idea how to write until our first movie when we sat down with our Hollywood script writers, and they taught us how.”

    Arcane: beautiful artwork but the characters did nothing for me.

    The Expanse: Good “universe” but again I found the main characters boring.

    Then there’s a few directors I tend to think are style over substance. Ridley Scott is too slow paced. Dennis Villeneuve is always visually stunning, but half his films struggle to tell a good story. Chris Nolan is very hit and miss and he needs a good writer at his side, rather than writing his own stuff.

      I agree with you on The Expanse. Watched nearly all the first season and I just didn’t care. All the characters were boring. Everything was just bleh, idc.

    The office. Just don’t get what’s funny or good about it. I tried giving it an honest chance about 6 episodes and didn’t laugh once. 0/5

      US or UK? I really didn’t find the US version funny in the slightest. And I dont mean in an elitist sense, I’m hardly the greatest fan of the office UK either, but there is something about the absurdity levels of many popular US sitcoms which never feel right to me. Like the characters are just so silly that they would never have been in those jobs in the first place. Scrubs and Brooklyn 99 are similar in that aspect for me, I just don’t find the ungrounded absurdity funny

      I have tried to start the office no less than 5 times. I even tried someone’s suggestion of skipping season 1.

      I just can’t get into it or find it funny.

      Also something about Steve Carrel annoys me the moment I see him. Along with Ben Stiller, who’s not in it but same effect

      That show is mostly about cheesy drama and cringe. Don’t get me wrong, I watched all of it, but I never would have watched it if my roommates didn’t.

      But there are really funny parts, but those honestly end up being inside jokes, meaning you have to get to know the characters.

      I was the same way with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had the TV on in the background and it was on FX, just programming, and the episode where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack to get on welfare was on.

      Until then, I hated that show and couldn’t get the hype.

      (on a side note, that show went to shit by season 7… so it goes)

      But I digress: once you learn the characters (and starting at season 1 is rough because the characters aren’t really developed yet) the Office becomes much more entertaining.

        early seasons of ISAIP were great, up until 11-12, then they all got botox, plastic surgery and became fake people irl too, especially ROb mac, yes he changed his name is now ever chasing that hollywood inner circle of actors, thats why he latched onto ryan reynolds to mooch off of.

        I feel bad that they still keep making new seasons of always sunny. Gotta wrap that shit up already. They’ve wrecked their faces with plastic surgery and theyre trying so hard to be cool, and it’s just not anymore.

          yea kaitlin olsen ruined her face with botox, and rob mac look like had use the SON’a face stretching machine to appear 20 years younger. everyone knew his muscles in season 13-14 was super unnatural, for a 40+year old dude. ISAIP is thier only cash cow, all thier other IPs they are doing or done, doesnt have the same impact. although i think kaitlin is the better actor of the isaip cast, given her recent shows.

          like people were criticizing how dennis(glen howerton) is 40+ and still chasing 20 somethings, you arnt 30 anymore, give up in the show, which is wierd and creepy, because is defintely showing his age more.

          Well, they just jumped the shark. It could be recovered, but the Simpsons ran into the same thing in season 9, and South Park is holding onto a thread. ATHU and Sealab ran into the same issue, but Sealab was due Micheal’s passing. (captain murphy)
