Ask Lemmy

Glee.

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)

I had allready seen a lot of documentaries about chernobyl, so the recent series did not cut it fir me. It was too dramatised

Handmaid's Tale.

Never got through even a single episode.

Would it be worth it? Is there vindication or is it just endless boring patriarchy?

Walking Dead. There's like several shows and a dozen seasons each, although I actively avoided it since it started about, not into zombies shows.

Squid Game, never really like dubs and just didn't get into listening Korean yet.

If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

• La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
• Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
• Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
• Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

Most of the adult animated shows (Rick and Morty, inside job, ect.) they're like a 15 year olds idea of what adults are.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.

Black mirror, too depressing

Wheel of time... Just didnt care enough after the first episode

The witcher... Again just didnt care enough and not a fan of the lead

I really wanted to like Firefly, but the characters felt too silly and two dimensional.

American Horror Story
