I’ve tried, it’s unwatchable.

Really fucking stupid premise, plot, writing and storytelling. It’s just awful.

Crazy over budget waste of money and time.

Fuck yes!

Silo, Severance are phenomenal.

Invasion sucked.

Foundation also hate-watched and could not get over how awful over production it is coupled with the easy to please fan base, which I don’t fucking get.

Season 3 finally got interesting but so much about it sucks

Widows Bay is peak

Slow Horses fuck yeah!

Ted Lasso sucks.

That one show the therapist, sucks.

They’re definitely on it for sci-fi though, a few misses but some great hits.

Because people really, really liked the Cleons. And overall I think the base did improve over the seasons - not just that aspect.

Strange to see anyone having such visceral hatred for Dark Matter just given to me, at its worst, I would consider it boring.

I wouldn’t call it visceral hatred, more like hopeful for something meaty and it being tasteless and disappointing.

It’s predictable, unoriginal and basic af.

I tried to read the book and couldn't finish it. Never bothered with the show, but you summed up the book better than I could.

I don’t disagree with most of what you said but it’s crazy pants that you think “Shrinking” sucks. Such a phenomenal cast doing fun interpersonal relations.
