I don’t wanna overanalyze the meme, but it is irritating when you can’t have a conversation with someone without their whole identity being based on whatever they’ve recently watched. Then if you haven’t seen it, them uncreatively explaining the plot to you.

TV shows are just an easy conversational topic… that’s all it is.
- Wage_slave ( @Wage_slave@lemmy.ml ) 12•1 year ago
Growing up in the years before and during Cable television, I am positive television was the most talked about topic over any and all aside from basic hello.
And if you didn’t have cable, well you’d get filled in on whatever, but were oddly OK with it.
- habanhero ( @habanhero@lemmy.ca ) 11•1 year ago
It makes sense, people connect through shared experiences, and TV is an easy way to do that.

500 yrs ago we’d be standing in line at the grist mill chatting about the royal parade a few days ago.

Not a cell phone in sight. People just out there living their lives. Occasionally dropping dead of tuberculosis. The good ol’ days.

Yea you’re right, I can’t be too upset.

Severance is great. I watched it on my 3-month trial to Apple TV.

As someone who very rarely watches series, this really hits home. I just rarely have the patience to do so, and because of that I also don’t have any streaming subscriptions. I’d rather play games, because the interaction makes them a lot more rewarding to me. To each their own though, other people don’t play games so they’ll have the same problem with me
- SocialMediaRefugee ( @SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
And there are so many games that just gaming isn’t enough. I know nothing about my coworker’s Rocket League gaming.
- PeWu ( @PeWu@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
I can agree, I also am interested in more niche things that mainstream shows, so any title in the meme is totally unknown to me
- Blackmist ( @Blackmist@feddit.uk ) English16•1 year ago
Seen one of those (The Boys). Maybe two if you count the first season of Westworld (don’t plan on watching more because it’s supposed to be shite).
I only really bother with Mike Flanagan’s single season stuff on Netflix, because the man knows how to open and close a story. Others should take note. Don’t start a story unless you know how it’s going to end and how long it’s going to take to get there.
“This is popular, let’s make more” is an attitude that has ruined television.
- IveGotRedOnMe ( @IveGotRedOnMe@lemm.ee ) 4•1 year ago
Agreed about Flanagan. I feel like now’s the time to have more one season stories for easier digestion. Especially since so many of them turn to shit so quickly. Ted Lasso being a recent example. Holy shit that last season was horrendous.
- CrabAndBroom ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) 14•1 year ago
Also Mr. Robot and Foundation and Good Omens and Fleabag and the new Beavis and Butthead and Station Eleven and Doctor Who is about to get good again and Irma Vep was great but I don’t think that one’s coming back
- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ( @peyotecosmico@programming.dev ) English2•1 year ago
Beavis and Butthead
wait there’s a new one? I’ve been living under a rock!
- CrabAndBroom ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
There are two new seasons and a movie!
- someguy ( @someguy@lemmyland.com ) English2•1 year ago
I wish Station Eleven was longer :(
I wanted to see that world explored a little longer.
- Rai ( @Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•1 year ago
I want to like Mr Robot sooooo badly but I find it very cringy and tryhard. I gave up midway through season two.
- CrabAndBroom ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
Season 2 is definitely the slowest season I think. It’s a bit of a slog but it’s doing a lot of the legwork for seasons 3 and 4 to go wild so it does kind of pay off in the long run IMO.
- aksdb ( @aksdb@feddit.de ) 1•1 year ago
Don’t forget Goliat and Bosch.
- Snowyday ( @Snowyday@startrek.website ) English14•1 year ago
The Bear is very very good
I still haven’t recovered from a certain Season 2 episode

That somehow made me love Jamie Lee Curtis even more…
I honestly believe half of these shows are fake and you can’t change my mind
- someguy ( @someguy@lemmyland.com ) English5•1 year ago
I’ve seen half the shows listed and they’re all pretty decent. And this is from someone who just cycles one subscription and watches whatever looks interesting on the current subscription.
- Rai ( @Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•1 year ago
I’m pissed at how absolutely shit the end of The Watcher is. It started so good.
- seitanic ( @seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org ) 11•1 year ago
I feel this way about video games.
- InputZero ( @InputZero@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year ago
Same, Baulder’s Gate 3 is out. It’s fantastic and I don’t have much motivation to spend money on it. TOTK takes up all the time I allow myself to play video games. I still haven’t even started Elden Ring.
- Wage_slave ( @Wage_slave@lemmy.ml ) 10•1 year ago
The Last of Us and The Boys.
Haven’t seen anything (or even heard of a lot) of the others. Not that they are bad shows. I just like to waste my time in other activities.
Like video games. Not shows, but still wasting time.
- magnetosphere ( @HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org ) English9•1 year ago
A problem I often have is finding something good enough to kinda watch, but not SO good that I feel like I’m missing something if I screw around with my tablet while it’s on.
- SocialMediaRefugee ( @SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml ) 9•1 year ago
Between shows and my steam backlog who has time for it all? Then there is all that other stuff like work, making dinner, getting outdoors, family…
- Mothra ( @Mothra@mander.xyz ) 8•1 year ago
Haven’t watched any of these and I don’t feel like curling in fetal position. What’s wrong with me, doctor?
- dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 6•1 year ago
more than half of those shows mentioned are unwatchable garbage.
- seitanic ( @seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org ) 13•1 year ago
Let me guess…Everybody will agree with this statement, but also everybody will have a different opinion on which shows are the garbage.
After seeing “The Watcher” in the corner, which is an obvious play on “The Witcher”, I am assuming the other half is made up names so that the comic resonates with people who watch shows as well.
I feel this
Have you spoken with the ship’s counsellor captain?
We have a standing appointment
I fail to understand why the appointment cannot be carried out sitting down captain this seems illogical and highly irregular. Is the ship short of suitable seating equipment?
