Revolution (2012) - Great premise but, boy did they get it wrong.

Breaking Bad
X-Files
Buffy. Loved the movie. The series was a triviality.

Breaking Bad and X-Files - Me too

Grey’s Anatomy - never made it beyond S1
Ally McBeal - tried a few times but never made it to the end of the episode I was watching
Lost - lost me early on as a viewer
Fleabag - after all the award hullabaloo I gave it a try but didn’t like it

The Walking Dead.

Peaky blinders.

I'm from the area it is set and filmed and everyone goes on about how amazing it is.

I just couldn't get into it. Stopped watching after episode 4 or 5.

I could not get into the new Battlestar Galactica, even though it was generally considered a really good show. It wasn't like I thought the writing was bad or anything else, really. It just didn't hold my interest for some reason.

I’ll probably get shitted on but Westworld, Homeland, Schitt’s Creek, Stranger Things, Twin Peaks, Flight of the Conchords, Hannibal, and Luther.

[–] Knish (1721) 5 years ago

I agree with all of them. Except hannibal, loved the first 2 seasons.

I tried 2 episodes and it just felt so slow. Should I give it another shot? Does the pace pick up a little? I really want to like the series as I’m a fan of the Hannibal franchise.

[–] Knish (1721) 5 years ago

You could give it another try but if it's not for you just move on to something else.

I didn’t necessarily try to like it, but I was expecting to like it since I was always a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but I didn’t care much for Elementary. After a 2 or 3 seasons I gave up because it just didn’t have the Holmsian spirit, but just seemed like any old police partner type procedural show.

The Jeremy Brett series was great (for the most part).

[–] Moonglum9 (11340) 5 years ago

Absolutely. As good of a Holmes portrayal as possible, I felt.

Right now I'm watching Snowpiercer and I'm not sure what to think - so far it's not what I expected. I think the characters are boring.
