Westworld season >1
I loved the 1st two seasons! Although season 1 was far better. Season 3 I have vague memories of and season 4 I gave up. They never should have left the park, that was the best bit.
Oh yeah. One of the biggest falls from grace in TV imo.
Star Trek Picard and Star Trek Discovery. There were a lot of good ideas, but the execution wasn’t there overall.
STD was just garbage, too much pushing a METOoMOVEMENT, by S4, they decided that men were no longer needed in the LEAD casts. Picard definitely wouldve better if not for the low energy acting of the main characther, and the rest of the cast, plus writing too.
They both (Picard more than Discovery) used a nostalgia checkpoint to connect to previous media, rather than expanding those themes in meaningful ways.

What good ideas? There were none.
I want them to dump all the current mythology and go back to the basic concept; 500 humans and aliens on a ship designed for research and military purposes. No Vulcans, or Klingons. No six foot tall aliens with five fingers and funny ears. Aliens that look alien.

I have never been excited for a TV show, because I have never known about one before it was aired. Every show I’ve ever discovered was already on the air when I discovered it. I’m usually way behind the times.
True Blood. There was a lot of advertising for it before it aired and at the time I thought HBO could do no wrong. It was just too goofy. Most characters were some kind of supernatural being and when it’s that saturated, no character seems that special anymore.
Great intro though. That song and the intro visuals were top notch. But yeah, that show got real goofy real fast.
@Skavau SUITS LA and thank you for asking!
There is a wanna be Harvey, several wanna be Donnas, no mike, no Louis Litt and definitely no woman badass enough to give Gina Torres any competition. I am 8 episodes in and don’t give a crap about any of the characters and no memorable courtroom scenes to speak of. Total Meh
Damn that sucks they couldn’t tap into the success of the 1st one, I enjoyed it until it got very “samey” in the storylines and foibles the law firm got into.
Stargate Universe
It had a bad start, but it became really good.
Maybe, if they ever repeat it, I’ll give it another go.
You didn’t like As The Universe Turns?
First episode got me hopeful, but the series dragged on. Forcing us to watch little webclips for lore and story bothered me.
I only watched about three episodes before I gave up on it.
everyone agreed SEASON 1 was bad, season 2 it was getting interested but it was cancelled long before the season began. apparently s3 would have much more of the mysterious aliens from the planet builders in it.
American Gods
The Netflix live-action Avatar remake.
The animated show is such a materpiece, but it’s still a kids show. There was potential to flesh out some of the more adult themes (war, romance) the show touches on in a way a kids show couldn’t. But other than that, they should have stuck very, very close to the original show.
Well, maybe I wasn’t “highly excited”, I was pretty sure they would screw it up.
But what I couldn’t have expected was just how badly they would screw it up. It took less then 5 minutes of watching to realise that the show will be bad (as they open with a prime example of “tell, don’t show”) and it really just went downhill from there. I think I dropped it on episode 4 and it took a lot of forcing myself to even get that far.
It’s pretty amazing how out of touch Netflix can be
castlevania nocturne, it was supposed to be continuation of the lore of the 1st series, but its pretty bad in many respects. it does try to use nostalgia, but not in the correct plot format. although the 3rd season, if there is one would be better. basically the main antagonists dint capture the audience like the 1st series, in the first 2 seasons.
heard ROP was terrible and extremely expensive, it made sense it cant capture the magic of lotr trilogy. invincible, everyone noticed the animation degraded each season, perhaps funding, and then the amount of time between seasons(mid-season) made the audience rather read the comics instead.
There was a time where content wasn’t so abundant, people watch TV on the TV and marketing mattered a bit more. Back then you didn’t have 2137 sci-fi shows to choose from so you watched what you could.
Take Terra Nova. Released late 2011, Spielberg as an executive producer. Dystopian future, time travel to the prehistoric era, hint some dinosaurs. Hype. It was cancelled almost immediately after the first season due to how disappointing it was.
I didn’t consider it disappointing, I considered it a decent starting point for better seasons.
I was born before we had a 5 minute tiktok attention span and if we weren’t blown away by the first episode that meant everything was obviously garbage.
Watch TNG season 1, one of the worst seasons of anything ever.
NUTREK ended up being worst, from s1-season whatever, almost all of them were bad more or less the same plot as each other, did you notice, how kurtzman made them all had a big bad at the end, with no resolution in the next season, just dropped it because it was such a bad plot. SNW could be better with good actors. the animated series seems to rectify this a little bit.
Lots of good series have a terrible first season. I don’t think this one was salvageable due to how shallow everything was though. It wasn’t bad necessarily, it was extremely mediocre with most of the world building consisting of adding mysteries writers didn’t know answers to. Most were just indifferent to it in the end, which something beyond disappointment.
Of course it was weak.
But there was plenty of room to fix it, they had barely started.
We need to stop killing things when they start because they aren’t the next game of thrones s1.
The Watch, Terry Pratchett “inspired” show. It disappointed me long before it even aired and made me angrily sad when it did.
season 3 of yellowjackets. meh. where’d that special thing go?
I feel the same! Season one was so good. The second I didn’t really like but it was still ok. This season feels like it’s gone off the rails. But I love Misty and Walter
The Futurama revival on Hulu. I watched the first episode about Fry trying to stream everything he’s missed and was completely bored by it. Haven’t watched any of it since.
The anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s uzumaki. It’s a manga that I love and have read it many times, when I heard that there was an anime adaptation that was sticking with the art style, I was interested. When I saw the trailer and heard Colin Stetson’s bizarre music, I knew that this would be amazing. Time passed and I checked on its release every month. It was delayed again and again but I had patience, thinking that they just wanted to get it right. It finally releases and it was amazing, the first episode anyway. When episode 2 drops I can hardly contain my excitement. Yet, something is off with it, I try to ignore it. Third episode, same thing. Last episode, had some improvements but still wasn’t the same quality as the first. I go online and see that people are divided over it, with a very vocal majority saying that something is off. I felt deflated and didn’t join in on the discussions. Time passed and I forgot about it until recently when I saw an article where one of the production staff said that there was some pressure from higher ups and they chose to release what they had or it was gonna get cancelled.
