What's a show you've never watched and never will because people keep telling you. "You HAVE to watch it!" (hexbear.net)

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.

The "strong start" was Adama's retirement speech from the uh ... prequel/pilot episode? I forgot how it works, cause episode 1 actually starts with the aftermath of the nukes being fired.

Regardless, it gives you the false sense that it'll be an anti-imperialist/America-critical kind of show in the aftermath/midst of GWOT. And then the nukes fly and it's like that speech never happened (I still think it's a good speech tbh).

My conspiracy theory is that the shows production was captured by the NVIXM cult (a surprising amount of the actors/actressess were members, including Sharon's actress), which was probably controlled by intelligence, and that derailed any sort of progressive message the story might have ended up having.
