>>What's the last thing you read/watched/played/listened to that you thought you'd like but ended up disliking?
Wake up Dead Man, the last Knives Out movie. Maaaan, than movie is so boring, predictable and useless it greatly irritated me. I enjoyed the other 2 movies and was looking forward to it, but in the end this last instalment ended up ruining my saturday night. I'm baffled by the positive reviews.

>>What about something you thought you'd dislike but ended up liking?
The first part of the new season of Stranger Things! I kind of hate watched the last two seasons and didn't even want to watch season 5, but decided to give it a go because my sisters want to have a watch part for the last episode. Incredibly enough I ended up quite liking the first 4 episodes! I skipped a little bit (something I usually never do with other series, but did a lot with the last ST season) and was a little bit bored in some scenes and incredibly frustrated for some characters/plot decisions, but in the end I had fun and can't wait for the next episode.
Biggest media surprise of the year for me, for sure.
