    The show that this fuck Microsoft clip is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zpCOYkdvTQ

    I was set on watching until this quote occurs to get the full suspense and context and comedic relief… but I failed my goal during episode 2. Cannot suspend disbelief for this one, it’s too dumb, makes no sense, most jokes fall flat. It’s like they gave Gandalf a clown costume and Frodo acts as though that’s normal and we’re supposed to be falling off of our seats from that

    Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn’t shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.

    This is going to sound very hipster, but pretty much anything that becomes super popular is too shallow or lowest-common-denominator to pique my interest. There are exceptions, but that’s the general rule I’ve come to realize.

    300+ posts and I only see about 13 or so, time for a new instance I think. Does lemm.ee really censor so much or is it my client.

    The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can’t understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).

    Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it’s somehow hilarious.

    Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.

    It was a series with the ripe call to the “competency porn” as I’ve seen described as, but the characters couldn’t contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I’m wrong and should give another chance however.

    Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I’m almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

    The Boys. First season had raw charm with some cool punk tracks, then season two sterilised it and it seemed to become another day time TV show. Had a similar experience with Black Mirror once that got the American/Hollywood treatment. Always Sunny lost its charm when the gang went to Ireland. Aweful end to what was otherwise a good series. But I mostly dislike American TV.
