Popular TV Shows you have never seen or may never watch

[hex]

Lots of people get tripped up on judging a book by it's cover.

They go, "I don't wanna watch Game of Thrones because I don't like medieval shyt." When in reality, Game of Thrones has been explicitly described as medieval fantasy for people that don't like medieval fantasy.

Or they go "I don't care about mob shyt" in reference to the Sopranos, when in reality, the mob shyt takes a backseat to the family dynamics of the characters.

Or when they say "I don't like cop dramas" in reference to The Wire....when that show is objectively so much more than that.

I get it though. There is only so much time in the day and you have to be picky on what you choose to consume. But I do notice this all of the time when I hear people explain why they don't want to watch one of the great shows being talked about. They usually completely get the premise of the show wrong, and the reasons they have for not wanting to watch it are invalid.

This is more or less what I was saying, but you went into more detail.

If people legitimately aren't interested in a show but you aren't really going to know if you're interested in a show until you watch a few episodes. So it's a catch-22. The "GOT" one in particular is puzzling because nobody fukks with medieval stuff....not really....it's not as if there's a ton of material out like it....yet it's the most popular show on the planet and has one of the widest fan demographics in history. So obviously there's more to it than that.

People try and sell some of these shows to me by saying shyt like, "GoT is more than fantasy. It nakkid bytches every other scene and every week someone unexpected gets killed."

That shyt ain't really a selling point for me.

But to put it candidly, I never really could get with the overly flawed hero dynamic. When the "hero" of the show cannot be distinguished from a villain (word to House of Cards), I turn that shyt off. My life is complex enough, I watch TV to zone out--not to be reminded how grimey you have to be to earn success in this world. To me the shyt is emotionally draining.

Man, personal preference should be respected when I see someone type out Breaking Bad or even GOT I wonder wtf bs you have wasted your humanity watching while choosing not to experience some of the greatest most well thought out and acted cinema of all time lol

And that’s including knowing how GOT ended, because that experience of the first 5-6 seasons was still something I may never be able to replicate again…

And thr Breaking Bad people?

I truly and shamefully feel that if a friend wouldn’t watch Breaking Bad but could watch Tyler Perry or some NBC show all day instead I would lose respect for their intellect. And yes I know that’s stupid lol
