Official "Avoid a Series" thread

I've watched a bunch of crap lately. And I've been too dumb to bail. I'll start it off:

Inside Man - Stars : Stanley Tucci and David Tennant
Rotten Tomatoes score : 64/45

Lol...fuck me...I just realized I watched it based on the movie (with Denzel Washington) 86/85.

Anyway, it's a top view on Netflix. And it's trash. Stanley Tucci is great but he's maybe only in 15% of the show. The rest of the show is so unbelievable.
Only reason I stuck with it was that it was only 4 episodes.

2/10

Dude I got stuck watching that garbage too. If he'd have just thrown the pedo under the bus to begin with like any decent human would do, the show is over.

Yeah I give it 2/10 only because Tucci keeps it from being 0

LOST
Walking Dead
Breaking Bad

Rings of Power

only reason to watch is you ran out of Nyquil and there are no soccer games to stream

Maybe I'm sentimental and nostalgic, don't care, I liked it.

I lost interest in it and House of the Dragon about 7 eps into both. I may go back and finish them, but I just don't feel like it

I can't believe that Tennant would even take that role. And the way they left it, it reeks of hoping for a second season.

[Trill Clinton]

Inside Man was terrible.

House of Dragon I've tried too and can't get past episode 2. But I also thought GOT after season 1 was meh.

You out here tryna be edgy and shit

[Monostradamus]

The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV. You’d think Paul Rudd/Will Ferrell/Kathryn Hahn in a show together would be hilarious, but it’s painfully unfunny as they all do terrible New York Jew accents.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I thought Orange is the New Black was godawful and disgustingly pro-lesbian and extreme woke garbage.

There so many to not like, it's easier to talk about the ones to watch.

I mean...this isn't to tell you not to watch the new Roseanne. You should know that.
It's to just give a warning about shit like Inside Man. Something fairly heavily promoted with decent ratings that looks good on the trailers.
Stanley Tucci, David Tennant...how can it go wrong. But if you listened to me, I'd have saved you about four hours of your life.

Honestly can't think of a show that I've given enough time to say definitively that you shouldn't waste your time. If a show doesn't grab me by the 2nd episode, I typically don't keep going, but then I can't really say whether or not it was a good season or whatever.

Trying to watch Barry and it has moments but I get bored.

[Joseph Kony]

tried watching Invasion on apple tv....snoozefest

This for me as well.

Truth bomb.

[Millennial_Messiah]

How to Get Away With Murder was pretty stupid too.

[Tyronn Lue]

liked her better on suicide squad, like how she went out lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

not a series, but don't waste your 3+ hours on "American Honey" on Netflix. Most boring, non-plot, no-direction movie ever. Better off watching the jail show on MSNBC whatever that was called

I thought of one.

Winning Time. I watched the whole season. Wanted to like it, but in the end the style suffocated any bit of substance it might have had.

[DAF86]

I don't know if this qualifies but my girl put "Who's the mole?" the other day. One of the biggest scripted piece of shit I have ever seen.

That's a good one. I gave up after a few episodes.

Yellow jackets on showtime.

Just a hot mess of shit

Man...I disagree with that. It's certainly not believable but I enjoyed it.
What put you off on this?
If you say, "Juliette Lewis", I'll accept that. She's a hot mess of shit by herself.

Poor Juliette hasn't aged well but I like her in the role. I can even take Ricci playing the psycho chick.

But lol they take shrooms and they all start to see the one dude as a deer that they need to kill. Lol at the chick dying in the snow outside the cabin because she was too butthurt to knock on the door and go back inside. The stuffed animal lights on fire then the plane blows up?

There's plenty more to lol about imo

Ok. Yeah...the whole mushroom thing was off the rails. Like a lot of other things. But I liked the show.
Maybe I've gotten to the point where I acknowledge I'll just suspend reality if the show is done well enough.
Lewis drives me nuts though. She was in some show where she was a cop a few years ago and I just can't take her anymore.

But as to Yellow Jackets, that was close to 6.79/10 for me.

Has anyone checked out 1899 on Netflix? Is it any good?

It's good enough. It's definitely not an avoid.
