Firefly. Amatuerish acting and plots that barely reached "Atomic Rifle" levels of sophistication don't really sit well with me.

Buffy.
It was just a big sloppy plateful of Beverly Hills, 90210 with a small side salad of weird shit.
Big bang theory. Cannot stand the characters on that show, especially Sheldon
The best concise description of that show I've heard was "it's what people who aren't nerds think nerds would like".
When Sheldon says "Bazinga" I throw 10 metric tonnes of popcorn at the screen. Funniest thing I've ever seen /s
Mr.Robot
So much drugs, depression, late stage capitalism.
Idk wtf I was watching. Too dark and too confusing. I thought I was watching a WW2 Holocause movie, the vibes was depressing AF.
Did I mention the drugs?
So. Much. Drugs.
There were More Drug Scenes than Plot Scenes that I actually understood.
(Maybe I just have a smooth brain who knows 🤷♂️)
It's a great series but I agree, there's a lot of depressing vibes. I binged it recently and ended up being getting paranoid riding trains haha
I watched it cause it was interesting to explore a scenario where the top 1% was targeted, especially considering what's happening in the world right now.
GOT
It gets so boring and does nothing for you to care about the starks
It gets so boring
It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what's his name dies in the desert.
Yeah, I did attempt to watch it a couple of times when it was still airing new seasons, but those first couple of episodes were just so boring, I couldn't get myself to continue.
And then of course it ended with the known flop and then I lost all interest in even attempting gain.
I gave up during season 3 and found season 1and 2 to be ok
Friends.
Shallow, punchable people who made being dumb fucks a virtue.
people had problems with it being a white-centric show in NYC of all places.
To be fair, I have friends who love this show but also admit it hasn't aged well.

Friends
Seinfeld
Yellowstone
The Office
I don't think you're supposed to like Yellowstone. I think you're supposed to feel obligated towards it
The Office season 1 is dogshit
The rest is excellent
Altered Carbon. I couldn't get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.
Big Bang Theory, and all 'reality' shows.
How I Met Your Mother. Most laugh track comedies I found barely tolerable at best but that show fucking sucked major ass and I don’t trust the judgement of anybody who liked that show.
same. i stopped watching when i realised i didnt laugh at a single joke all throughout the first season
For reals. That show is so absolutely unfunny, it astounds me that anyone could enjoy watching it

Game of Thrones. I stopped watching when Aquaman raped the blonde.
Then I started reading the books. the rape scene was written slightly different, so...whatever. Then I got to the part where the brother/sister threw the boy out the window. Done. Violence against kids is my line.
spoilers but if you had stuck around you get to see the guy who pushed him out the window get his comeuppance. he spends the next season as a prisoner of war and gets his sword hand cut off. it changes him almost completely
but then again thats not the only scene in the series with violence against kids so maybe it was best to stop there
Yellowstone. I wanted to like it because Americans riding horses and doing cowboy gun things is a vibe, and I wanted to get that without actually having to travel there and be around Americans. It’s just so bad though.
conservative white people love the show.
It didn't intrigue me but the old white guys at work like it so I knew there was something wrong with that show
If you haven't already, you should give the spin offs a chance. Neither my wife or I can stand Yellowstone (we struggled through the first season and then gave up), but 1883 and 1923 are both fantastic shows.
What made the difference for you for the spin-offs?
The Orville.
I'm sorry! I'm a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can't stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn't just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.
if it wasnt in the show it wouldve been fine, but him being part of the cast makes the series questionable, hes not that good as actor, hes better at writing. ALso problems around him being involved with the writing has caused the series to barely make seasons in general, this has caused financial problems for some of the actors, and production too. having 36 episodes in 6 years is pretty bad. this was all from pallacki interview on michaels podcast.
It started out being a Seth McFarlane show but quickly became a pretty legit sci Fi show. McFarlane has always been a Trekkie, he was even in Enterprise, so he actually tries to do right by it once he gets most of the Family Guy type humour out of his system
I'm convinced that the only way he got it greenlit was by selling it as "family guy in space" even though that's not what he wanted to do. So he hammed that up for the first couple of episodes to make the suits happy before phasing it out and making the show he actually wanted.

I started watching Star Trek because I loved The Orville. I didn't know people had such hatred for it.
I really liked Orville, I was going to try star trek at some point

The Sopranos
Same! I gave it way more time than it deserved because so many people raved about the show. For me, it was like a snail-paced soap opera about the least likeable people in the world.
