Yeah. Lost was when I was intrugued by J J abrams style, and then completely turned off by his inability to tell a story or have a plan beyond the halfway point.

And then they involved him in seemingly every major movie franchise ever for the next two decades… and he kept doing the same crap. Lots of flash and dazzle and dramatic moments that ultimately mean nothing because the characters have no story to tell, no real arc, no consistent rules creating a believable universe for the watcher to be sucked in to - any rules can be thrown out the window anytime a dramatic cliche opportunity arises. Yet he still seems very popular.

Lost went on far too long and they backed themselves into a corner by saying that the big secret was what nobody had guessed, but this was right around the Internet getting popular to talk about tv shows, so everything good had already been suggested. If it had been me, I would have just picked the best one and gone with that…

There is a recut of it, still available via torrent, called Chronologically LOST. It is every scene, but in chronological order, and only once each. Really cool way to see the show and make sense of it.

Unfortunately, mid season 2 is where it finally stops having enormous fluff and starts picking up pace. Fair criticisms though

The “community” is insufferable, but the show is solid. You might like Solar Opposites. The wall substory is amazing. Really good voice actors, can feel the tension and emotions in the voices

There’s a few shows where the fan base have made it so insufferable that I don’t want to even watch the show . But Rick and Morty are King in this category, the worst fans

Is there even still any Rick and morty fans left in the wild? After the whole case against one of the voice actors I never see them around too much anymore.

I initially found that show a bit interesting, but I found myself feeling more and more cringey about what the show was churning out. I outgrew the whole thing just as the sauce thing was happening

It later became well known what an actual piece of shit Justin Roiland is, and I felt pretty glad not to have been stuck in that fandom still feeling like his work was of any importance to me.

Friends had Chandler and Joey bromance, which is a precursor to the Scrubs bromance.

The rest of the show isn’t similar, but that part was spot on.

I love Scrubs and IT Crowd, but Friends also. I don’t, however, like Frasier. People seem to fall into either the Friends or Frasier camp, and never the twain shall meet.

There are quite a few edited ‘Friends without the laugh track’ videos on YouTube showing how creepy and unfunny some of the characters are. Its a bit of a meme theres so many of them.

Walking dead is the king of spreading 4 episodes of content across 12 episodes. You could watch the season opener, the 2 episodes that close the first half and start the second if each season, and the finale, and not miss anything of substance.

I watched up to the point where they pretended the Asian lad was dead, but actually he was hiding under a bin.

Not because it was cheap, but because I realised I no longer cared one way or the other.

You’ve seen the best. I stopped somewhere in the middle of S3 because it was so bad. S1 was tolerable but honestly only the pilot was good. Kids watched all of it so I’ve got an idea how it went on; like a bad and cheap soap opera

I watched the first 2 seasons or so. It felt like all the clichés from all the zombie movies put together in a single show, but worse.

The first few episodes were a slog, but it got much better.

I recomment to give it a try. Maybe start straight from season 2.

You dodged a bullet. It just keeps getting worse until the final season which is the absolute worst

Umbrella Academy was a hate watch for me. I loved the experience of watching it with my sister, even though I absolutely detested the show itself. Every single one of the characters is just the worst fucking person with zero redeeming qualities, and they somehow just get worse as the show goes on.
