Inspired by Secret 5.

*or not so recent

Mindhunter isn't a particularly original idea, but the setting and atmosphere are 100% on point. But there's too much Holden in this show. I was hoping for more of a team driven series and I'm not very interested in Holden's weird personal life or his inability not to fall into into the abyss vs. just gazing into it, thanks.

S2 felt very team-driven to me. Wendy and Bill felt like equal parts of the season to me. I like Holden a lot, and miss his prominence in S1, but S2 felt like it was doing its best to respond to critics of S1 by being a lot more critical of Holden and seriously reducing the amount of stuff he gets right.

The new Lost in Space for me. I love the main tropes, the characters and their actors are great, and the show looks amazing. But the writers suck at juggling their storylines (the emotional stories have litte to nothing to do with the episode's technical/survival challenge; the pacing is bad; several times, towards the end of the episode, characters go, "oh btw I figured out how to escape this unescapable trap" completely out of the blue without showing us how they got the idea) and the main villain doesn't make a lot of sense for this story (and is unnecessary to boot, there is enough tension without her).

I want to love Lost in Space but the writers make it hard. :/

I think this is why I gave on it near the end of season 1. I loved all of the actors and it was visually stunning, but... it felt like a bit of a mess plotwise.

V - Visitors. The concept (and the original series) were right up my alley, but the actual show was a mess.

Class, the Doctor Who spin-off that was an idea that could have worked well, but it just didn't.

Class bugs me because I think it was a massive guilty pleasure for most of it, but also find episode 6 to be an almost perfect episode of television.

I also think it came in the wrong era for Doctor Who, because of Moffat retconning everything. Mainly, a group of teenagers back at the end of the RTD era where everyone knows aliens exist and it's all memes and such would have been amazing, but Moffat made it so everyone forgot about aliens again. And a post time war Doctor coping with a child committing genocide in the same way he did could have been really gripping but that was never going to happen.

I did enjoy Class (it actually got me more engaged with fandom than I had been in years) but it 100% belongs in this category

I really liked the first season of Miraculous Ladybug, but I thought it got repetitive quick, and it seems intent on undoing character developments. IDK, maybe I just wanted it to be more serialized than it is.

I liked the setting and the pilot episodes of Riverdale and Sabrina. Riverdale sort of gave me a Twin Peaks vibe, and Sabrina has powerful women and a classic horror vibe. Everything went downhill from there.

I really wanted to like Sabrina but I could not take it seriously. me and my friends were in full MST3K mode by the end of the first episode.

Orphan Black. It started out really well, but got extremely lost in it's overly complicated plot as the series went on.
