What is the actual worst TV series you've ever tried to seriously engage with?
-
Obi Wan. Mandalorian was a little disappointing but cool and zeitgeisty, Boba Fett was worse, then the Obi Wan show was just unwatchable. Which is weird because Andor was so much better than it had any right to be.
Mando was a grear two season run. 1 season of motw type and season 2 for the last episode.

I actually watched The Acolyte and liked it better than Boba Fett and Obi Wan.
Eh yeah orobably to be fair, Boba sucked. Obi Wan had cool moments same as Acolyte. That helmut headbut to the lightsaber was fantastic

You're an idiot. This series requires a fresh start. Your opinion is garbage.
I watched it all and was left disappointed by the end. I like the acting and premise but the slow burn makes for some annoying moves, she jumps hugely without explanation over to their side and then back within like two episodes if not one.
Defimitely some great scenes and moments throughout but as a whole season without another for two years...meh.
Severance is ren times better for on more episode, sikilar thriller with a conclusive step forward that leaves you wanting more at the end of season 1

I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.
The witcher.
Wtf

The Walking Dead. A friend kept telling me how great the show was, but it never really sounded like anything I would find interesting. Sure enough, when I agreed to check it out, it was just so... boring. I couldn't get past the first episode because nothing interesting was happening, despite trying on 3 separate occasions to do so. Finally had to tell my friend that I wouldn't be trying again.
I have to disagree. I agree on the whole that it isn't a satisfying or good show as a whole. But the first few seasons were great. It just failed later.
-
Evil. I tied, I really tried. But the writing was atrociously bad. After 3 episodes, I had to move on.
I enjoyed Evil for a while, but they just kept trying to give the kids bigger parts and it ruined the show for me.
-
Are there any good adaptations of Asimov besides Fantastic Voyage and Bicentennial Man?
Besides the seminal I, Robot? Not that I know of. Does Data's positronic brain count?

Star Trek Enterprise. I ended up hate watching the whole thing hoping it would get better, but it just kept getting worse.

Firefly
There are worse shows, but this was one of the first where I should have liked everything about it, but instead I hated the campiness.
This is fair.
Firefly is straight up my alley, and I liked it, but itās not in my top sci fi TV.
-
Inside Man (2022) was probably the worst thing I've attempted to watch. I bailed in the first episode, it was absolutely dreadful. The decisions being made by the characters were so far from realistic/believable that it made the drama feel completely contrived and tedious.
Oh man, i watched all of it. It was just awfuland so stupid I couldn't believe what I was watching!
-
Andor. I still have yet to finish the first season. It's ok. It insists on itself. While the premise isn't bad, and the story is ok. I just cannot get into it.
Andor is a slooooow burn. But worth it.
Iām watching it with my Dad, who hasnāt seen it, and he almost fell asleep more than once in the first half. Itās slow. Itās dense. But itās setup; those details come back.
Like others said, you have to watch the prison episodes. If you donāt like it after that, you can definitely drop it.
-
What did you expect from an amazon exclusive TV series? A faithful adaptation true to the original work, or some generic garbage churned out to appeal to the largest audience?
Thatās not universally true. What about Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, Vox Machina/Mighty Nein? And more that escape my mushy brain.
-
I'll probably will be killed for this but it was breaking bad for me. Just so slow and boring. Could see where it was going miles ahead and Walt just kept making dumb decisions which pissed me off. Probably the point of the show or something but I really didn't like it.
Jesse is the foil. Walt makes decision after bad decision and never feels the consequences -- Jesse does.

Supernatural and Smallville wereā¦ too long. I canāt even remember where I dropped them, but it was way too far in already.
I do have a hotter take:
NATLA (Netflix Avatar, the last Airbender) is fine. Itās not bad! Itās like an AU with scenes we never got to see.
I see some people rage that they suffered through the whole season, and donāt get the fuss.

The Haunting was quite terrible but The Leftovers was far far worse.

Firefly

I watched the full season and the movie, but I walked away not feeling much. People claim itās one of the best shows of all time and deserving of a comeback, but I just canāt see it.

True blood. I knew some people who were just obsessed with it and I watched a lot of it and just couldnāt stand it.
The person I was with at the time was very obsessed with this one. The whole supernatural genre in general. It was a big turn on for her and almost every epsode would get paused because we started fucking.
This is only one of many that that we viewed this way together. Turns out there are a lot of shows I will watch when, "doesn't matter, had sex" can be applied.

Oh my gosh, yes! As a fan of the books, I was so excited for the series. I was determined not to be put off by the changes to the story the producers made, so it took me a while to realize that the changed story lacked something. Like, being good? I should've just stopped after the terrorist attack that killed nobody, or tens of millions of people maybe, in the first episode just to advance the plot. Great visual effects, no emotional resonance. Why should I care? Nobody on-screen seemed to. I stuck it out until the episode that ended with the one character getting surrounded by the Anacreon landing party, but the show never established why I should care about her. So I didn't, and never bothered with the next episode to resolve the cliff-hanger.
It's a remix of the foundation, understand why they did it because otherwise they'd have to switch of the cast every few episodes. The series is set up to make people that didn't read the books like it and I personally think a lot of what they did makes sense. Some of the changes are good, some are bad, all unfaithful but given how hard it is to put this book on screen I can see why.

This is an insult, now what is your argument

It's kind of hard to go back to USA network shows from the time. Except for Psych. I'll always be here for Psych.
Oh, you know that's right.
