What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

A piece of media that is well-presented, well-written, well-acted, everybody loves it...and you're just not that into it.

Breaking Bad

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a writer. I knew it was good writing. I knew the characters were good, the cinematography was great, the acting was great...but I couldn't get into it. I just found it hard to watch. Maybe it was the setting? I never even finished it and I have no impulse to.

Re: Breaking Bad

[silverr]

Same here.

Re: Breaking Bad

[herpymcderp]

I appreciated that show while mostly hating it, precisely because I knew the writing was good. It was the characters, really. They were all deeply unlikeable (with the exception of Saul and Mike, who both struck me as not inhabiting quite the same universe as Walter White).

The best part was the end, for what it was worth. I'm glad I finished it, but not disappointed that I didn't get into it while it was airing.

Re: Breaking Bad

[(Anonymous)]

+1 I got really bored by the second season of Breaking Bad. I think even if writing and performances are good, sometimes something is just not your preference.

Like sometimes I have no major complaints but I still get bored with something.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[philstar22]

Outlander. I just found it dull. I knew there was some stuff coming later that I would probably enjoy, and the very first sex scene was hot. But I didn't care for any of the characters and was just hopelessly bored. So I just gave up after the first couple of episodes.

Spartacus. A show that is actually equal opportunity about the nudity. I just found it not very interesting and I'm not sure why. But then again, I can think of a show set in Roman times that I've actually liked for some reason even though I love mythology and also movies set back then.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

I was that way with the Outlander book tbh.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[kaijinscendre]

Peaky Blinders. I liked the actors. The idea of British gangs is awesome. The main character had PTSD from war. Just enough violence for me to enjoy. It is a fairly short series. Plus, Tom Hardy is in Season 2.

But...I just couldn't get into it. I think because of a plot point that is super cliche. When I realized it might be going there, I asked my sister to confirm. She did and I lost interest completely.

[vethica]

Inside Out. I thought it was... okay. Just okay. :\

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting. I've seen so many rave reviews of this but I think all the trailers make it look boring as hell.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[dethtoll]

That's most of the "well written" TV shows for me.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[otakugal15]

Supposedly, Hannibal. But I found it atrocious, even in the acting department.

:/

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh. Yeah. I like Hannibal at first. But all of the artsy stuff started getting to me. It felt like they were being artsy for the sake of being artsy and metaphorical. Not to show anything, not to make the show better, but to just make it seem better in the surface.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[silvereriena]

BBC Musketeers. I like the musketeers. It looked like good, campy fun. And it wasn't unenjoyable but I couldn't muster the will to watch past the first 3 episodes. My enthusiasm just wasn't there.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Game of Thrones. Too many characters, too much sexual violence, just... too much.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[solticisekf]

Person of Interest. It's a sad sad situation.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[morieris]

Sailor Moon.

But then again I only tried watching Crystal, and simply found the plot to be too slow. I'll buy some merch, because I do like the style, but the show itself is just not that interesting to me.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone in the Shakespeare fandom loves Much Ado About Nothing and I literally can't bring myself to care about it at all.

I also hated Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much everything that everyone tells me I'm supposed to like because it is "amazing". I gave up on the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire because I hated it. (And I very rarely don't finish a book.) So I couldn't bring myself to watch Game of Thrones. I thought Mad Men was way too slow and disliked too many of the characters. And I gave up on Dexter, Walking Dead, and Hannibal at various points for various reasons.

Apparently I have awful taste or something.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[ex_mek82]

Pacific Rim. Even my sister thought it'd be right up my alley, but I instead found myself wanting to leave the theater halfway through the movie.

Captain America: The Winter Solider. Have said countless times in the past why, but the long/short is that I just couldn't get into it.

Avatar, both 'Last Airbender' and 'Korra'. I later decided it's because fantasy in general is not my cup of tea. But I'm very much a science-fiction person, so that could be why.

The Lord of the Rings movies, incl. the Hobbit trilogy, for the same reasons as listed above with Avatar: just not into fantasy. I actually did see the LOTR movies in the theater... and I think I fell asleep about halfway through 'Return of the King' (my sister woke me up, though).

Star Wars Rebels, but I'm going to give that until the end of S2 before I write it off completely or not.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[nightscale]

It's a game but inFAMOUS, by all accounts it should be right up my alley. Super-powers, comic book story-telling and art. But I find the main character so god-damn boring that I couldn't make it through the game and I have no interest in playing the rest of the series either.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Most TV.
Practically all classic literature.

The Elder Scrolls games (Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim) are particularly ironic as I have them sitting and waiting for me to get around to playing them. Same with Mass Effect, the first two Witcher games and Dragon Age 2.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Days of Heaven is always called a classic. it's one of the most boring movies I've ever seen in my life.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

LotR. I loved the Hobbit (book). I love epic fantasy stories, especially ones where the writer took pains to make things very realistic (believable travel speeds, the types of food they bring, etc). I love complicated lore and constructed languages.

But my god, the way Tolkien and the fandom both wax poetic about the elves turns me off every time I try to read the books. And I loved the movies as a kid, but rewatching them as an adult I find them super hokey.

Re: What's a TV show, book, or movie that you knew you SHOULD like, but you didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Several people seem to like Better Call Saul. I just have no fucking interest in it and never will.
