Keeping up with the Kardashians. Infact anything Kardashian!

Saturday Night Live. I keep waiting for it to be funny…It just feels cringe most times. Occasionally, they stumble across a joke or some witty insight…Probably on accident.

Lost. Just bad writing hand-waved away as mysterious and spiritual.

During its run, so many people I knew suddenly acted like they were missionaries for Game of Thrones. Practically going door to door, spreading the ‘gospel,’ and badgering others to pledge that they’d watch it. Even when I’d tell them that I gave it a shot and it wasn’t for me, they’d insist that I didn’t give it a good enough chance and would interrogate me every time we saw each other about why I didn’t watch more of it yet. I spite ‘NOT-watched it’ even harder.

Seinfeld. Seinfeld is a show I watched the first time around and enjoyed it to a certain extent but it is completely unwatchable to me now. I hate all the characters on it. There is not a single redeeming character. You can also tell that the writers were completely full of themselves.

Family Guy. It seems like especially in later seasons, the plot lines and characters were nothing more than vessels for each lame cutaway gag. Almost every episode feels like a bunch of cutaway gags lazily strung together.

My wife watched a lot of The Good Doctor. That show is horrendous.
We GET IT. He’s autistic. That can’t be the only plot point in your entire show.

Young Sheldon. I understand that Sheldon is supposed to be insufferable, but I swear I just want to punt the kid every single clip I see of that stupid show.

I’m gonna get hate for this, but This Is Us. The first two or three seasons were good, but I could only take so much weepy, pity party drama over and over again. Also, the character of Kate was so annoying.

The Office is nine seasons long. And if you ignore the first one (which is pretty meh), it’s only downhill with every season after Season 2. It’s to the point where it almost starts feeling like different shows broken into different iterations. Like, Jim and Pam from Season 2 through Season 4 is reasonably realistic. Season 5 to Season 7 Michael is just a sitcom with talking head moments. Season 8 to Season 9…can we scrap every last dollar we can out of this?

Rick and Morty isn’t terrible. But, I’ve had several conversations with friends who insist it’s the most brilliant show on television and even better than peak-The Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama. The same themes and jokes get recycled endlessly. There is very little of the sharp-cutting social commentary I associate with the other excellent adult-animated shows, and I find the writing fairly pedestrian in general. It’s fun, but I also think many people believe it’s significantly overrated.

Doctor Who has a cycle of being absolute trash and then having four of the best episodes you’ve ever seen. It’s mostly been downhill ever since Peter Capaldi had his best episodes. The constant rewriting of the canon lore is also extremely annoying. I will stand by David Tennant’s Doctor being peak British TV, though.

Of the shows I’ve watched in-depth, I’d say Stranger Things. The first season is very good, but I just stopped caring midway through Season 2.

Big bang theory. Completely unwatchable, on every level. It’s designed to use some “big words” to make us feel in on the smart jokes. But the jokes themselves are not funny and Sheldon is the worst. Ug, I hate that show.

The Flash. Or any CW superhero show. I like superhero media, but I can’t get past the low quality visual effects and stilted dialogue of CW shows.

Bridgerton lost me after Season 2. I HATE that they had to spice it up and deviate from some of the plot. I refuse to watch Season 3 because it will always be the wrong book to have based the season off of, and I can’t get over it. Plus, spoilers for anyone who never read the books, but Eloise would NEVER be friendly with Cressida Cowper. Never, ever, ever. It’s a terrible disservice to that character.

I’m going to be crucified for this but the Netflix Marvel shows. Don’t get me wrong, some parts are genuinely great, but a lot of the time it just isn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t really get into it or find myself super invested into them. Not to mention some seasons are rather inferior to another.

Euphoria. Disgusting show. I love the visuals, the makeup, the hair, the outfits. but the story itself? 1. incredibly unrealistic to high schoolers 2. ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Yeah, Squid Game was good, but back in 2021, people were talking about it 24/7. Like, 90% of the internet was filled with it, and honestly, I don’t think the series deserved to have the entire world talking about it for three months nonstop.

Yellowstone. The first couple of seasons are fun and enjoyable as a “modern Western soap opera” type thing. But it really crashed and burned at the end.

Ozark, tried and tried again, far too outrageous to believe the plot to escape reality for me.
