Breaking Bad.

It was just another good show for me. Better Call Saul was better.

Better call Saul sucks. Slow as hell. Made it about a season and a half.

Here’s my biggest one though: Dexter isn’t anything special. We watched the 1st season early last year and enjoyed it but didn’t have any desire to continue to season 2

I tried to watch this a few times and could never finish. It’s an objectively good movie I just do not like it for some reason I can’t figure out.

There Will Be Blood should’ve won best picture that year.

Arcane on Netflix is bad. What a way to blow $250 million.

The Wire.

It was a very good show, I enjoyed all but one season.

I don’t understand the greatest of all time talk.

Ted Lasso, there I said it. First season was funny and then became unfunny with forced drama.


It's not an unusual opinion. They kinda sorta took an SNL skit and turned it into a TV show. I say kinda, because unlike 21st Century SNL, Lasso was actually a funny spoof that first year....but like all spoofs, the goof wears off quickly.

It wasn't bad, but way overhyped.
I think the people that loved the show were people that lived/worked in the 60's.
More of a nostalgia thing.


"nostalgia’ literally means ‘the pain from an old wound" - Don Draper

That wasn't their audience....because dead men don't watch TV in 2010. If you were Don's age in 1960 , you probably weren't alive 50 years later.

The wire really resonates with people but it just didnt hit with me. Tried watching it several times and just nothing.

The Wire dreams at night and wakes up wishing it was the Acolyte.

GoT was so convoluted with so many different storylines it lost me. I forget which season I gave up on it.
