For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
The Game of Thrones TV series.
I really enjoyed the George R. R. Martin novels that they were based on, but the TV series just didn’t do it for me.
I did enjoy the Lord of the Rings movies, so I know that it’s possible to do film adaptations of fantasy novels that do click with me.
I was pretty happy with the first couple of seasons, but I didn’t keep up with an HBO subscription to keep watching. A friend had some watching parties for the last season, and just … ugh. Total waste of time.
I feel like most people that read ASOIAF beforehand are disappointed with how it turned out. The first season is practically a perfect adaptation of the first book, except Tyrion now spends his time having sex with whores and getting drunk instead of spending his nights in the library reading as much as he can.
And that was the beginning of it going to shit
I thought all four seasons were pretty good, though they lean on discovering the plot and lose a lot of rewatchability for it.
Heh, too bad they never continued the series past there :P
Boobies equal ratings!
