It's cringe pretending to be humor.
Same. If you want some actually laugh out loud hilarious cringe humor, I highly recommend Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb.
I will never forget the dog episode. This show was singed in my mind. Also a favorite of mine.
I love how you can just say the dog episode and everyone who's seen the show knows exactly what you mean

How I Met Your Mother. Most laugh track comedies I found barely tolerable at best but that show fucking sucked major ass and I don’t trust the judgement of anybody who liked that show.
same. i stopped watching when i realised i didnt laugh at a single joke all throughout the first season
For reals. That show is so absolutely unfunny, it astounds me that anyone could enjoy watching it

Altered Carbon. I couldn't get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.
My this question certainly comes up very often on here doesn't it.
The Orville.
I'm sorry! I'm a trekkie so I really wanted to love it. I can't stand Seth McFarlane, though, and apparently it isn't just his animated shows like Family Guy or American Dad that I hate.
It started out being a Seth McFarlane show but quickly became a pretty legit sci Fi show. McFarlane has always been a Trekkie, he was even in Enterprise, so he actually tries to do right by it once he gets most of the Family Guy type humour out of his system
I'm convinced that the only way he got it greenlit was by selling it as "family guy in space" even though that's not what he wanted to do. So he hammed that up for the first couple of episodes to make the suits happy before phasing it out and making the show he actually wanted.
That.....makes a lot of sense lol. That's exactly how it plays out, yeah. I think it's a wonderful addition to Trekkie-type show catalogues, personally.
Yeah, or that it wasn't even sneaky, they just all agreed a couple of those episodes up front would broaden the appeal, and felt confident people would stick around once they got attached to the characters and into the sci-fi
Would it help if I told you that his particular brand of humour stops being the focal point after a bit? Iirc it doesn't last into the second season and is then replaced by actually thoughtful storytelling with light humour sprinkled on top.

I started watching Star Trek because I loved The Orville. I didn't know people had such hatred for it.
Some do, but I think The Orville is a much better Star Trek show than Discovery in particular.

if it wasnt in the show it wouldve been fine, but him being part of the cast makes the series questionable, hes not that good as actor, hes better at writing. ALso problems around him being involved with the writing has caused the series to barely make seasons in general, this has caused financial problems for some of the actors, and production too. having 36 episodes in 6 years is pretty bad. this was all from pallacki interview on michaels podcast.

Stranger Things.
They lost me when they introduced so many new city characters in one episode and it became too much about teen romance and rebellion. I think this was start of second season.

Arrested development and it's always sunny.
I really don't care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

Yellowstone. I wanted to like it because Americans riding horses and doing cowboy gun things is a vibe, and I wanted to get that without actually having to travel there and be around Americans. It’s just so bad though.
conservative white people love the show.
It didn't intrigue me but the old white guys at work like it so I knew there was something wrong with that show

Game of Thrones.
The incest didn't bother me, but pushing a child out a window hit the wrong note with me and my wife.
Wait until you read literally any bit of human history.
That's mild compared to later seasons. It does get pretty fucking sadistic.
I see where you're coming from and it's not for everyone.

GOT
It gets so boring and does nothing for you to care about the starks
It gets so boring
It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what's his name dies in the desert.
Yeah, I did attempt to watch it a couple of times when it was still airing new seasons, but those first couple of episodes were just so boring, I couldn't get myself to continue.
And then of course it ended with the known flop and then I lost all interest in even attempting gain.

The Sopranos
Same! I gave it way more time than it deserved because so many people raved about the show. For me, it was like a snail-paced soap opera about the least likeable people in the world.

Game of Thrones. I stopped watching when Aquaman raped the blonde.
Then I started reading the books. the rape scene was written slightly different, so...whatever. Then I got to the part where the brother/sister threw the boy out the window. Done. Violence against kids is my line.
spoilers but if you had stuck around you get to see the guy who pushed him out the window get his comeuppance. he spends the next season as a prisoner of war and gets his sword hand cut off. it changes him almost completely
but then again thats not the only scene in the series with violence against kids so maybe it was best to stop there
