TV shows you just didn't get?

I've never been able to understand the acclaim series like THE SOPRANOS got. This series is asking the public to have sympathy for someone who, to put it mildly, is an out of control murderer, mafioso, drug addict, alcoholic with a whore for a wife and two children who hate their father and what he does for a living.

Then the poor mafioso gets panic attacks from all the killing, loansharking, drugs, whoring and alcohol consumption and goes to see a shrink?

Spare me from this bulls**t. 🥴

Old one: Miami Vice. It's not that I didn't "get" it. This was more a case of off-putting hype that annoyed me before even trying to watch it. I wasn't blown away or hooked after watching a few episodes. I then decided I can easily live without Miami Vice in my life.

Agreed.

Miami Vice was OK for a few episodes but then it went downhill for me.

Miami Vice is a good one to not get.

My list:

Friends
The Big Bang Theory
Family Guy
The X-Files
Any reality show

I found Friends, TBBT and Family Guy remarkably unfunny.

I liked the first three seasons of The X Files but not the rest.

Agreed on reality shows which are actually so unreal, it's almost nuts.

Star Trek TNG
Star Trek Discovery
Star Trek Picard

Discovery and Picard were so full of revolting woke 💩 that the inclusiveness and diversity of the original series got lost. Characters like Michael Burnham made me want to puke.

🤢🤮

I didn't like any of these although some TNG episodes are very good.

ST Voyager and ST Enterprise were good.

I tried to get into discovery, Though I missed the pilot, so a few thing I had to figure out...
It jumped the shark early on...

The Kardashian shows.

Bunch of rich people sitting around complaining about some stuff at their house. "I don't have privacy."

You live in a mansion with a walk in closet that's bigger than my whole apartment, it has 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms and two pools. Shut up.

That is the show which put me off watching reality shows for good.

I have never seen a bigger bunch of self absorbed, mouth breathing "I'm famous for being famous" idiots in my life. 😳😳😳🐢

The only truly famous Kardashian was Robert.
