Let me set my deflectors to maximum before I say this:
I've never watched... Umm... "Lightning Bug"...
I feel that at this point it won't live up to its own hype and I'll be disappointed every time someone mentions how great it is, so I just... Don't.
I don't try repeatedly, there's far too much TV available. The odds that a TV show will change my life if I just give it enough chances or put enough hours into it are just too low to bother.
I've tried my damndest to get into Better Call Saul. Just can't do it.
sopranos. a bunch of irritating assholes taking advantage of people for their own gain.
sopraanos begs the audience to feel bad and root for selfish, harmful parasites. no thanks.
runner up: breaking bad for the same reason, albeit with fewer assholes.
better call saul, on the other hand? great.
Arrested Development
Game of Thrones. It was like a less interesting version of Lord of the Rings, with a few mins of porn sprinkled throughout each episode.
My take away was that if you want to watch LoTR, then watch LoTR. If you want to watch porn, watch porn. But pouring both into the same cup doesn't make it good. ...which is apparently an unpopular opinion.
