TV Show EVERYONE says is so great but you can't get into

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Game of Thrones. Zero interest. Bunch of D&D's too lazy to play the game so they're watching it on TV. Meh

That criticism is played.

 

People don't watch cop shows because they love cops. Or hospital shows because they love doctors.

 

GOT is well written and well acted. That's why it's good.

this

 

last 2 seasons really.

I can't even go back and watch past episodes cause it all ends up to be d0gsh1t

But...if you wanna get hooked right from the get go. Watch episode one season one. Good tv

Anyone not watching Taboo on FX, you're missing a great show.

Agreed. Great show. Tom Hardy is excellent. His hat is badass.

Got it on the DVR,am hoping if things slow down a little I can have a power watch weekend as I love Tom Hardy.

[vuduchile 1,945]

[kutulu 1,678]

Watched one episode of breaking bad. Turned it off.

[patweisers44 847]

Went back to Breaking Bad yesterday and still not getting the love. Like i said before its like a bad Three's Company episode with the misunderstandings, etc. The RV doesnt start, lets cook meth at your house, oh wait you forgot there was an open house to sell the place today?

 

At least they finally starting explaining why he was spending hours upon hours away from his family unquestioned.

[kilroy69 1,251]

one of my problems is that I loved malcom in the middle. Loved it. And I could never get into Hal being a bad guy

[wiffleball 4,790]

Never wtched an episode of james spaders new gig. Hear its good.

 

He ruined Age of Ultron for me. Everytime old Tron spoke all I could think of was hey that's James Spader!

 

You sure don't see much of James Gandolfini these days. I guess after Sopranos he was pretty much Typecast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would be great on Walking Dead.

BB is the total opposite of Sons of Anarchy.. BB takes a few episodes to get going, but once it does - it's awesome... SoA is focking intense, I can see how it's too much for some.

I think his death in 2013 is the bigger reason than typecasting.

[vuduchile 1,945]

True. But since that time, he's also been a little stiff.

[mmmmm...beer 807]

I came here for "The Wire". I've personally been on 4 wires and that series is the suck. I could only get past 2 or 3 episodes before I was done with that rediculousness.

The main guy in SoA is just a bad actor. Ruins the show.

you just died to me. Jk. The wire is a long sell. It lays the base in season one for things that tie into season four. It's slow but the payoff I think I'd excellent

I think they nailed his casting balls on... You can't just throw Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey, Seth Rogan or Bradley Cooper in there and have it be believable. The leader of a notorious biker gang gas to be a brute, rough, tough and socially stiff - and he hits all those.

I have trouble with alot of cop dramas. I think its because for me the realism is so far flung I can't get into that escape mode enough to enjoy it.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Agree with everyone on the walking dead or any zombie thing

it was written by a cop. Baltimore homicide cop

Ed Norris, a cast member and one of the writers, was an NYPD deputy commissioner who came up through the ranks. The compstat stuff was right on the money, but Hamsterdam was silly.

[Cruzer 1,995]

Finally started watching the Blacklist..... Damn, wish I had started sooner, this show is great - and James Spader is awesome.

First two seasons...Really good..then..Meh...

Oh really? I'm just 4 episodes in so far.

[supermike80 1,922]

Yeah it jumps the shark a little. But Season one is great, season 2 is good. The rest are watchable, but they get maybe slightly absurd. My call. Maybe you wont think so.

The acting ruins Walking Dead as well. Can't get into either of those shows, and I really tried several times.

[tanatastic 2,062]

Finally got around to Lost and have been binging it to S3 so far. Really like it, so many mysteries.

 

SoA was among my fav shows ever and loved it, ditto for breaking bad.

 

As for the topic, I couldn't get into Mad men but then my wife did and loves it. It's not as bad as When I started it, just have to let it grow on you. Plus the women are fine as hell.

Oh God. Not LOST. Trust me EdJr will back this up.

 

LOST is a great show. Not good--GREAT. One of the best ever. UNLESS.....you want any resolution to the mysteries they present in the show. Because you will be disappointed. Utterly disappointed. I'm not talking a couple left hanging. Like ALL OF them...Every mystery. Every thing you want to know why it happened, for what reason, what led to it, why did it happen etc....

 

Nope.You will never have those questions answered. So if you like good "character development" which is what the writers puked on us after they realized they weren't good enough to tie off the loose ends, then enjoy LOST. Cause that's all it is.

+1. My family and I binged LOST several years ago when we first got netflix. Really enjoyed the first several seasons. Started to think "WTF is going on?" for the last couple seasons, and then ended up extremely pissed at the ending. Might as well ride it out and see what we're talking about. Embrace the hate.

 

I do love me some Juliet, though. Just something about her does it for me.
