if you watched every episode of a show it wasn't the "worst" of anything, or you wouldn't have continued.
you just dislike the directions it took.

Every TV show I've ever seen is the worst one I've ever seen.

That sounds like a contradiction, but it just all blends together. You can't compare something that just bottoms out so every TV show I watch is the worst one.

I don't watch TV. Ever. I actively avoid it. I wash RedLetterMedia or some other rube that's congruent on Youtube. And it continually blows me away.

In no way am I exaggerating when I say that I actively avoid trying to look at any TV show ever made nowadays because I feel like it makes me less intelligent.

There's the phrase about "boiling the frog". If you're in the orbit of TV then you just get used to it on some level but if you actively block it out and only pursue entertainment where you feel like it's worth looking into what is in someone else's head, you cannot believe how bad that it it has gotten.

Gen Z has failed at literally everything they have ever tried to do in the world of cinema. The mediocre ones are bad and the bad ones are so bad that it's staggering.

Every TV show ever made after the year 2015 and certainly after the year 2020 deserves literally ever razzie.

I talked about television for one minute so I'm done with it. See you in 3 months when I remember this shit board exists.

It'll be an anime for sure and i have a hard time choosing just 1.
Stuff like Vinland Saga was just god-awful but i stuck with it for some stupid reason.

Oh wait i know, it's Made in Abyss. I watched it because the soundtrack is amazing and a reviewer on youtube (mr clemps) made it sound like the most amazing thing that's ever been created by man. But it is complete and utter garbage.

A disaster of a series that never put together a single episode that was decent from start to finish. But there was always at least one thing in each episode that made me glad I watched it: a performance, a scene, a sequence, a line of dialogue, a stunt, a visual effect, a costume, a plot twist, a guest star, et cetera. So I stuck it out to the end even though it was 99% crap. You *might* be able to edit all the decent stuff down to the length of a single episode, but I'm being generous.

Weeds pissed me off more with every season but I hate watched it to the end.

weeds got lost in the...weeds when they left the suburbs. I still get a good laugh about when the series became meta with the story wandering aimlessly all over the place with no destination while the characters were literally wandering all over the country with no destination.

I'm guessing this will be a popular answer but GoT, easily. And it's mostly because I was invested in the book source material which I had lost belief was ever getting written so I might as well ride out this dogshit TV show.
2nd candidate would be LOST I guess, as bad as it had gotten I was invested and had lots of normie friends who wanted to talk about it
I've dropped plenty of other shows before they ended because they got so bad and I just didn't care anymore, Dexter being the prime example that comes to mind

the weird 2000s Flash Gordon series with the guy from Smallville. clearly it wanted to be like Smallville, Buffy, whatever.
but it was just a mess. plenty of low-budget sci-fi shows can do other planets. here they'd occasionally go to the Oversaturation + Bloom Field and nothing ever happened. just characters murmuring how some day Ming might rise to power, ooo.
>>
>>220754547

wtf who does that. Let alone as one of the few shows you've watched the entirety of. The show is a formulaic comfy thing you watched weekly or on syndication when flipping through channels and missing episodes didn't really matter.

Gotta be Peacemaker, especially season 2. Holy shit it was horrendous.

I never finished it, but I watched a lot of Under the Dome. I kept watching it cause my mom was watching it and she was excited to talk about when I visited. I think we both fell off cause for some reason we thought it was a mini series instead of a TV show that would be stretched out as long as people watched it.
The other one would be Dear White people. I'm not one of you maga faggots who hate watches shit to get triggered. I was giving it an honest try. The movie was failed from the start cause the central premise of "can I, a black woman who protests for civil rights have a white partner?" has already been answered by every prominate black lives matter leader having a white partner. I was hoping the TV show could do something more interesting with the premise but it didn't. Too scared to be actually radical and challenge people.

3pbp. Was told over and over again I would love it, finally watched most of it by having a TV marathon on in the background, it was incredibly boring. The only good scene was the big gun in the car because that seemed new. Turns out every lead actor is as insufferable IRL as they are in this show so my instincts proved right again.

You can have no nudity, no likable characters, no high drama, no humor, no exciting twists, no budget, no great dialogue, but you can't have all of that and be a good show.

I watched all of The Walking Dead (for clarity's sake since there are 15 spinoffs, I mean the OG series) simply because I wanted to see what if anything of note happens at the end.

GoT isn't really on the same level as a lot of the crap in this thread. The only actually terrible season is the last one and you can get through it easy enough on the first viewing just to see what happens. It's going to be unsatisfying but there is enough entertainment to keep you strung along. I mean the ending episodes in S8 are so bafflingly retarded that you're just watching in awe (but a bad kind of awe.)

Everything pre-S7 is good. Some of the earlier stuff, say S4 and before, is amazing. Definitely not a shock that most people finished it.

I can only think of Pluribus, at least recently. If a show is bad I usually just stop. It's crazy because the whole time I was watching Pluribus I knew it was going to stay bad and nothing was going to happen but I just kept going?

The original UK version has been accused of being a 'Friends' knock-off but other than it being about three men and three women who are living the single life in the city, they're pretty different. If you strain really hard, you can sort of map characters from 'Friends' onto those from 'Coupling' but it's a pretty loose fit. At best, the inspiration to do a series about a coupe of young single friends in the city might have comes from 'Friends' but it's hardly an original concept.
The biggest difference is in how narratives are told, with 'Coupling' willing to do things like split screen episodes and an episode where the same events are shown from two different character's point of view. The storytelling in 'Friends' was much more straightforward.
The US version tried to repeat the process that 'The Office' followed when coming to the US, using the UK scripts mostly unaltered for early episodes. That was so poorly implemented that the show was yanked off the air after only four episodes. The reception was so negative that the network didn't even use the left over episodes as summer time filler.

IT's funny because the past was not always better (obviously) but there's a phenomenon that occurs in the brain where as soon as a painful event passes our brain starts making up a story to edit out all the painful parts so eventually we end up with a version of the past that seems very appealing and nice even though in reality you were suffering in that moment

I regret watching a few shows because mostly I don't like television. I think the Brits perfected the form and we got several really high grade things like Edge of Darkness, The Singing Detective (Potter in general), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Prisoner, and so on. I regret giving time to those not a little bit. But Game of Thrones was mostly a huge waste of time and it felt gay to have an opinion about it. Not necessarily because of its ending but just in a general theme park shitty ride kind of way. I have conflicting feelings about The Wire, as I remember it starting to become cartoonish and retarded, but I watched it so long ago that I've nearly forgotten and I know enough not to ever watch it again. My memory is that Generation Kill was good though. I've mostly bailed on or never watched other prestige shows like Sopranos (bailed after a few episodes because I saw it was Gen X mafia meets psychiatry, their favourite subject), Breaking Bad, whatever else. I've wasted time with single seasons of shows like Westworld, which I hated, The Shield, X-Files, True Detective, and so on, but had no interest in continuing. Arrested Development and Workaholics annoy me a little because both had a funny couple of seasons and then collapsed and kept going, which I didn't watch. I mostly just don't like television as a format most of the time
>>
>>220763211
Sopranos is insanely overrated especially on this website. Good actors and good performances but the overall story and arcs are kinda shit
>>
If I don't like a show by episode 3, I'm checking out, so I have never finished a show I thought was really bad.

Pic related is the only show I ever finished that I didn't really care for. I kept watching just to see if it would get any better, since everybody was going on about how good it was, but it never did.
