Walking Dead is dire.

Quality concept, done awfully.

Anyone that watched further than the 4th season is a certified dumbass.

Big Bang Theory is aggressively shit.

I can watch stuff and think "This is bad" and turn it off but it takes a special breed of crap to actually annoy me. The Bazinga cnut should be shot with balls of his own shit.
Yip. It's tiresome crap that feeds on references that aren't even funny.

Friends is also shit. It's just a bunch of annoying cnuts hanging around an apartment. If you lived with them the only one you wouldn't hunt for sport would be Ross and that's only because he's not as bad as the rest. The first would be Chandler, after you'd finished punching him repeatedly in the face.

Crap movie made infinitely worse by people falling over themselves to shout about how clever it supposedly was.
Nolan's whole career is based on his ability to make people feel smart for understanding stupid movies.

While we're on Nolan movies...Dunkirk.
Pointless waste of time. The torpedo scene is one I'll never forget. That was edited so incredibly stupid, I'm still not over it. Why in the world would you establish all those shots of the interior of the boat being peaceful and then actually show the torpedo hitting from the outside? That doesn't make sense. It's complete nonsense. The effect is much higher if you just surprise the damn audience. There was enough foreshadowing, don't fecking show it. I'm still mad about this. Nolan shoots beautiful movies that don't make any sense whatsoever. His movies make me irrationally made.

Lots of Nolan films except for The Dark Knight. The others (Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk etc) are crap.

Movies - majority of Oscar nominees are not worth rewatching. Every musical, and most of Marvel and DC are shite.
TV shows - one that I can remember is Power - really shite acting and average TV show in general. Suits became terrible after 4 or 5 seasons.
Arrested development is not something I liked and found it overrated.

I loved Inception...which shows how little I know about mvies.
I remember when it first came out, it didn’t really catch my attention as a film to definitely watch but I remember the media and critics were raving about this after week 1.

I watched it whilst on a flight to Florida a couple of years ago and actually remember falling asleep midway through it. Woke up when the credits were rolling :lol:

Game Of Thrones has to be at the top of the list for me. Don’t get me started on that final season, never mind the last episode! Brutally horrendous would be an understatement to describe that.

I really enjoyed season one of Westwood but then it became the epitome of "oh shit that was really successful we'd best make another season and dial it up to 12".
Yeah, the second season was basically 'haha look at the badass android blasting stuff' - it was nowhere near as interesting as season 1.

Indeed. Season 1 was an interesting watch but season 2 just confused the s** out of me! I still stuck by it even though I didn’t have a clue what was going on!

I think Hannibal's last season was saved by Gillian Anderson's performance.

This is probably way premature but the currently showing Dublin Murders is rapidly falling into this category for me. I've enjoyed Sarah Phelps' Agatha Christie adaptations in recent years so went into this with high hopes that it would retain the quality but maybe be a little grittier and lose some of the kitsch factor synonymous with the source material. Nope. Just nope. It is personality deficient, dull, a smorgasbord of tropes and clichés wrapped up in a charmless, inane package. None of the characters interest me in the slightest. I couldn't care less about the backstory or the present mystery. It's actually proving a chore to watch, which is so rare for me with murder mystery shows. Even the shite ones tend to at least hold my interest somewhat.

Maybe I haven't been concentrating enough... though there's been little to inspire my attention. Maybe I haven't given it enough time; checking out about halfway through episode 3. Or maybe it's just terrible. Curious for the opinions of others here?

Line of Duty.

Watched the first episode and had to check I'd watched the right thing because it's a fecking parody.

Prison break. Fantastic season 1. Should have ended it there.
I seem to remember it wasn't scheduled for more than the first season anyway.

Then the first season was so good the network demanded more and it was obvious they didn't have a fecking clue what to do afterwards.

But then I rewatched it all a few years back and actually enjoyed the other series albeit to nowhere near the same degree of interest I had in the first when it was being released week on week.

Bing Bang Theory. Do people actually watch that? It's always on E4 and is spectacularly shit. The actors involve stand to make tens of millions from the new syndication deal with HBO Max and it's a joke.

Senfield. I've only watched like 6-8 of the first season so it may get better, but nothing hapens and the humour felt very slaptick and forced.

I also tend to drop shows I don't like very quickly, so I don't remember many. Suits is one that was quite average from the couple of episodes I watched. Arrested Development's first episode made it look like it'd be quite shit. Though I did think the US Office would be shit but I've enjoyed the bits I've watched so far.

Game of thrones - I've tried it 3 times now and cannot get past 3 or 4 episodes. Utter rubbish.

Walking dead is definitely ridiculous after the first couple of seasons. I just can't stop watching it though. I find it strangely engaging due to how much all the characters want to die. It's so bad it's good. If it was done well, it would be worse...... If that makes sense?

I endured Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 on a date (her choice) and maintain they're two of the worst films I've ever seen.

No tension. Not funny. It was the first time I learned I could be truly bored watching a movie.

Inception was really overrated when it came out so im not surprised to see it here. Still I miss those fun movies that made you think.

The Following - wasted hours of my life with no payoff

Following by Nolan? I thought it was fantastic.

Season 4 of Prison Break. Season 1 was incredible, 3 while they were in Sona was great and even the most recent series was a better ending than the Final Break or whatever it was called. But that whole Scylla nonsense was awful.

The Big Bang Theory I find really awful. I can look back on stuff like Blackadder, Men Behaving Badly and Bottom with affection but laughter tracks/live studio audiences in contemporary stuff is inexcusable for me.

I've also had the misfortune to see some of the hordes of superhero TV shows aimed at teens; like DC Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and The Flash, and I find them absolutely pisspoor.
