Lost. It just got weirder without ever really answering any questions
I was watching it as it came out and remember that the show was utter shit, especially due to how it ended. Then, last year I thought to rewatch with my wife. Fuck! It made sense in every aspect. Also, “Chronologically Lost” helps with understanding things even better.
In reality, they did answer all the questions. And writing was top notch. In interviews they say that they were coming up with plot on the fly but I will never believe that. I’ll die on the hill defending a theory that they did wrote most of the show from start to finish before they began filming.
I mainly enjoyed it but yeah by the last season or so it was not so easy to keep going. I did complete it though. Definately not worth it.
Game of Thrones. I enjoyed it at first, then realized about halfway through I had really lost interest and was just watching through intertia. Eventually I stopped and still haven’t seen the last few seasons. From context, it seems like I wasn’t missing much.
When they deviated from the books the whole thing went to shit. They lost any good banter and actually deep plots.
- Once Upon a Time
- Stranger Things
Both of these started off pretty decently for me, got me into the series for some reason or another. Then the writing and/or direction actually made the “chore” come out in trying to continue to watch these shows.
Man, my wife and I were super into the first season of Stranger Things. The nostalgia factor and old school horror movie feel really came together. But after watching Season 2 it was clear they were just going to keep amping up the action scenes at the expense of the plot and atmosphere. So disappointing.
I caught a glimpse of a recent episode somewhere and it was just dozens monsters running around getting shot at by an army of guns and Eleven doing some overpowered Jean Grey shit. Yawn…
Yeah, sometimes a smaller scope makes stories better. Seen lot of shows where when the stakes are raised and it becomes some galactic level boss type threat it starts feel less tense with how cartoony things start coming off if previously the show felt more grounded with some smaller elements of the supernatural.
The writers of Once Upon a Time had no clue what they were doing after a few seasons. Just floating along without direction.
I got these on my list of watched some of it.
Tru Blood became egregiously bad.
Sookah, Sookah, I love you.
Sowwy Mr vampire, I have to emotionally run into danger fow no purpose now! Look at me not listening to anyone! Oh no my fairy powers that I wasted are withering away, I hate them!
Fuck you could play that show as torture.
The final season was fucking awful. It was really, really, REALLY bad. I was relieved when it was over
Doctor Who. I was pretty checked out in the middle of Capaldi’s run and when Clara left, so did I.
I watched the first season or so of the woman doctor. I felt like they went nuts on companions and the doctor was sorta lost in the plot.
Mr.Robot - The plot sounds great on the Wikipedia summary and I like it conceptually but it drags so hard in S2 and S3 it’s unreal.
Same goes for Better Call Saul with it dragging on and on.
Man in The High Castle falls off a cliff in Season 3, I couldn’t follow anything and everything has a weird brown(?) filter on it and i gave up when there was a scene with the nazi son guy in like a hotel or something and it was literally impossible to see what was going on. I didn’t think that’s what was meant by the show being dark ba-dum-tss
Every Nu-Trek (Discovery onwards) is not even entertaining enough to be so-bad-its-funny most of the time.
finished mr. robot but not breaking bad and did not even start better call saul. not that they are bad but just not availalable and not motivated enough to buy really anything anymore.
Just pirate it?
nah. most stuff is not worth me even getting into it. I mean sure breaking bad but I just have not been watching media anyone wants to keep gated.
Watching Mr. Robot right now. Oh shit. Just began S2 and you say S3 gonna be also boring? Also, I still cant accept that Elliots father is an imagination but his friends are not. Elliots whole plot is not to be trusted after numerous “HAHAHA THAT WAS A DREAM/IMAGINATION, AND YOU BELIEVED! FU VIEWER!!1!!111!” moments.
At this point I am just watching cause of inertia + I can just watch videos while working.
The Walking Dead. I started needing recovery periods after episodes of that show, and then I also realized “I’m not really enjoying these that much.”
CW Flash
Severance. It just became noise. One weird thing after another with no answers.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story. Wow. Huge pile of shit there.
I just picked up Netflix again after dropping Disney and noticed this one being pushed on the start page.
Looked interesting but you’re saying it’s not even worth starting?
Sons of Anarchy, once I realized & tired of the formula of “always have three overlapping existential crises, introduce a new one every time one is resolved”.
Especially after the main cast spent time in prison, during which there were apparently zero existential crises for the MC.
Orphan Black when the scifi series became about… getting elected to a suburban school board?
Stargate Atlantis
Actually, any Stargate except Stargate Universe.
All of them
Snowpiercer. I enjoyed the first season. Second season felt like a chore.
The last season wasn’t even released in my country
