Nearly all of them, most seem to be racist comedy’s or stereotypes and just bullshit I can’t handle, or the plot is over used so much it’s predictable, honestly most popular TV shows are just straight up boring and to much otherism and other racism, sexism, transphobia, ECT in them. Or just about fighting each other and it’s all about drama because they don’t have the apparent ability to just simply talk to each other.

Classic sitcom formula. I never got into a lot of the “family” shows in the 90s, because almost every plot revolved around someone being a poor communicator - and that’s it. Person A can’t talk about event/topic Y, and now Person B assumes reason Z and the entire episode and all its hijinks only exist because of it. Everything could’ve been avoided if Person A and Person B actually talked things through, like healthy, sane people who actually want to avoid conflict. But writers couldn’t think of a way to both model proper communication and create a compelling storyline, so here we are.

It’s definitely not for everyone. It’s a very complex show with a lot of symbolism, and you kind of have to think for yourself what’s really the implications of what’s going on.

I was hooked from beginning to end, but it’s definitely pretty boring if you don’t get the subtext, or simply want an easy sit back and relax kind of show.

Nah, it’s that it’s not as “deep” as it thinks it is.

Same. It’s not that it’s “uneventful”, it’s just that each “event” just adds more nonsensical mystery. It feels like Lost, which some people thought was twisty in a clever way. But instead the writers literally just kept throwing twists with no actual end in mind.

I’m sure Severance has some kind of plan, but it feels way longer than it needs to be. It’d make a good movie or limited series, but I’m not into this vibe for multiple seasons.

the show practically beats you over the head with the symbolism but failed to write the characters with any depth whatsoever. kinda like lost. no reason to care about what happens to anyone

Yeah, that’s why I stopped watching: It became apparent that there was no interesting story other than the soap opera playing out in rich people circles.

The first season at least had the hint of something interesting; that estranged stoner being promoted from theme park furry to inner circle. But they barely did anything with it.

Like 97% of them

Damn few shows are worth my time these days. Re-tread it’s galore, with simplistic emotional appeal to get you to react and continue to watch. Essentially producers saw what worked for “reality” TV in the 90’s and applied that same juvenile, transparent, boring approach to new shows.

In that case, we should ask: what have you finished and do you recommend?
