"The Squid Game", "Game of Thrones" and 23 more series that are clearly overrated
We live in the "golden age of television". There are so many TV series being filmed that you can watch them from morning to night — whatever you want, for every taste. And this is what I would like to talk about in more detail — about the very different tastes of the audience and about the ratings, full of the words "amazing", "best in history", etc. Do you always agree with these estimates?
Probably not always. So the users of the Reddit forum decided to speak out about what each of them was sick of. Pay attention: these are personal and very subjective opinions of individual users of the Network, which in no case is anyone trying to present to you as the truth. After all, we can think completely differently.
So, here is a small list of series that someone extols to the skies, and someone considers highly overrated.
"Very strange things." I should have stopped after the first season! They shouldn't have continued..."
"The Big Bang Theory". Well, they stretched it out so much that they were tired of looking at them terribly"
"Gilmore Girls." A character named Rory is a terrible person"
"Sons of Anarchy" is just ridiculous. We have to believe that their club is the most important thing for them and they are ready to do anything for their "brothers". But they're just killing each other."
"Force majeure" — in most episodes, these influential and powerful lawyers constantly come to a dead end, not knowing what to do. And then suddenly someone gives them an idea — and voila. A cheap script, an office drama in the spirit of "he said, she said"
"Euphoria". Impressive cinematography, good production. But the plot is clumsy, threads stick out from everywhere, and very flat characters"
"If no one says it, I'll say it. The "squid game" that everyone is watching right now is a bloated zilch"
"Game of Thrones" is not bad and deserves attention, but many plot threads in it have hopelessly sagged and have not been sewn together"
"Lucifer." The first few seasons I adored this series, but then its quality plummeted, and seasons 5 and 6 were frankly terrible. Why can't they stop in time?"
"Rick and Morty." Yes, I like it because it's funny and cleverly written, but I'm tired of being presented as a kind of new philosophy. Look, this is just another adult comedy, nothing more"
"Mrs. Brown's boys." I'm not sure it's popular anywhere else but the UK. But, my God, what a creepy piece of shit… An incredibly low level of humor, the target audience is adults who still have to wear Velcro sneakers because they have not learned how to tie their shoelaces."
"It's a controversial opinion, but still: "Dexter." Season 1 is outstanding. Then it's a complete mess until the very end"
"Supernatural." Very monotonous, repeat on repeat. They should have finished everything much earlier, but who will refuse the money"
"Stay alive." The same trouble as with many of J. J. Abrams' projects: a great promising tie, but these promises are not fulfilled. In short, there are a lot of inconsistencies in the script, and the writers have to get out of it along the way. The result is not about
"Girls", such an elite thrash show. And Lena Dunham is just wildly annoying"
"American Horror Story". The first two seasons were great, then I just forced myself to look through the force. Deflated"
"Try watching Dawson Creek now, you'll see how creepy it is. And how many fans did he have"
"13 reasons why." Let's make a show aimed at teenagers and show them how suicide can be used as a weapon to take revenge on all their abusers?"
"Fans of "Firefly" will tear me apart, but I have to say. This series had great potential, but it was closed too early and it did not have time to gain strength. Yes, there are wonderful episodes, the rest is of quite ordinary quality. He is being praised more as the show he was supposed to be, but didn't become."
"Grace's Anatomy". It's just time to end this series. It's about time!"
"This is us." A tearjerker squeezing strong emotions out of you. If you want to cry and purify yourself, then it will do. But this is far from a masterpiece, about which fans cry on all corners"
"I've always been surprised how "The Walking Dead" went beyond two seasons at all. They have the same storyline every time… they run away, find shelter, go out in search of food, some of them are bitten, you need to reel in the fishing rods again, look for a new place again. And so for about 10 seasons. Well, boredom is mortal"
"There's nothing to argue about. In my opinion, the most overrated series is "Paper House". Don't you agree?"
"I love anime and I love the Naruto series. But I have to admit: 45 percent of the episodes are completely passing"
"How I met your mother." In each episode, the completely toxic behavior of the main character Ted is glorified and romanticized. He's just crazy."
