I watched all of Game of Thrones but what bothered me from the start was how they ended every episode with a cheap cliffhanger which was resolved quickly in the next episode and had very few significance. The speed of that episode mostly picked up at the end again only to achieve the next cliffhanger.

I thought it was awful until I read the books. They introduce you too fast to too many characters and don't give you the chance to get interested in any of them. Once I knew all the characters from the books it was fun to watch (though beer helped as well)

Friends. It was like Seinfeld, but without acting, writing, humor or staying power.

All of this. It's a comedy and it's not funny and why am I here?

Without the laugh track it is painfully bad to watch

It's aged really badly as well. It's bewilderingly white and has lots of LGBT jokes.

Supernatural, but only after the sixth season (?). At first it was an entertaining monster-of-the-week show that used creatures from all religions and cultures, and then it devolved into being a Christianity focused war against angels and demons and I lost interest when that's all it became about.

My guess is season 8ish because Ben Edlund, creator of The Tick was writing for the show from season 2 to season 8.

Yeah supernatural really lost its way and forgot what made it watchable.

Arrow comes to mind but maybe I remember it because it was bad...

The plot for each season was the same: a lie meant to protect somebody ended up harming them and they found out anyway. Once I realized that, it definitely got less entertaining.

I wanted Arrow to be so much more than it was. But it was cheese. The lead is best used in a soap, I think.

I felt like that watching reality television from 2010's. Explicitly, the shows like Kardashian.

So many people raved about Downton Abbey, but I couldn't get through any of it. Extremely dry and also just made me mad about wealth inequality

Fubar. I like Schwarzenegger, but the writing was atrocious.

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Season one was entertaining enough that I enjoyed it despite the writing, but good god season two the writing was so much worse.

Star Trek: Voyager

Don’t really remember why but it just could not keep my interest. I think I tried a couple times.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Try watching season four. It gets retooled and gets much better.

The Bear. Just... bored me. It's just running round in a kitchen with some shouting and the odd shaky food close up.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It makes me wonder if Ingmar Bergman is directing

Smallville. Each ep felt like 3 hrs, and not in the good way. Just to get to the end where Lex asks Clark a direct question, Clark lies to his face, and I hope to all the gods that THIS is the one where he just screams "FUCK YOU!" and stabs him in the eye with a shard of kryptonite.
