Better Call Saul: boring law office melodrama w/ great cartel and Mike storylines. The notion that it is better than BB is laughable. It had some really good episodes as Gilligan became more polished but as a whole it focused on the wrong side character or wrote him poorly. A love story? Please.
Friends: cheap copy of Seinfeld.


I don't even start most shows that look terrible from the start and omitted some that start off ok and then get bad (Walking Dead and Peaky Blinders).

I didn’t mind TBBT, but I’m still surprised they were able to stretch the gimmick to 12 seasons, and a 7 season spinoff.

I still think the first few seasons (more or less) of TWD was some of the best ever, they just definitely hit a wall at some point.

Were overrated? Disagree. It was must see TV. Hugely popular.
Now overrated? It doesn’t age very well but I don’t think many consider it some great show nowadays, just an old formerly hip, cool show.

It’s a low maintenance slow burn. You don’t have to babysit it.

Citizen Kane & 2001 regularly show up toward the top of many “best ever” lists, but I think it’s because the ones making the lists are scared to say “this is boring”


I will fight you to the death to convince you that 2001 is the greatest film of all time and quite possibly the only piece of true Art ever produced by a major studio, but I will also freely admit that it is paced so slowly that its running time should be measured not in minutes but in inches of glacial progression.
