Breaking Bad. Forced myself to watch it for a few seasons. I liked a few episodes but it was mostly boring family drama. The "fly episode" made me quit. I just can't return. I consider the "Fly episode" to be the worst of the series and after that I almost quit too. I'll admit that I didn't really understand the fascination with Breaking Bad until I got to S4. Though I stuck with it and by the end, my mind was fucking blown. The second half of S5 S5 is probably my least favorite tbh. I thought the show took a slight drop after Gus died. The Nazis were kind of weak for Walt's final antagonist imo. I don't think it's the best show ever like many do (I place a bunch of HBO shows in front of it), but it's definitely in my top 10.

Gus was definitely the best antagonist, but I think by the end, Walt's final antagonist was pretty much himself. It's somewhere in my top 10 along with The Sopranos. I'll put Game of Thrones in there too even though it's not over yet, but it definitely deserves a spot. I would have to think more about the rankings though.

Yeah agree with this, the Nazis weren't the best villains but they weren't the main show in Season 5. It was all about Walt, really the perfect culmination to his story. The whole of season 5 was kind of like one big epilogue, the fact that the only villain Walt could possibly face was Nazis kind of makes sense even if it's a bit silly. I'd put BB in my top 5 for sure. It's the first show I ever binged, up until Season 5.2 was airing live, so there's probably some nostalgia bias there. Edit: I've just realised that's nostalgia for 3 years ago, how ridiculous.

1. Laura Fraser is great. 2. She provided a pretty satisfying use for the ricin.

Black Sails. I kept watching through the first season hoping it would get better but each new episode was more cringeworthy than the last. You couldn't pay me to watch any more. Breaking Bad. I was so ready to like this because pretty much everyone I know talks about how great it was but I watched a few episodes and realised I hadn't taken any of it in because I just didn't care what was happening.

We couldn't wait for Black Sails to start...all hyped up about pirates and plunder...what a let down for both me and hubby.
He loved Breaking Bad...I didn't. It was tolerable and better than some shows, but I just didn't care about it. (read something while it was on with one eye halfway following the plot) He loves Orange is the New Black...I despise it (that's when I paint or sew in another room)
Of course, the HBO series Vinyl was something everyone looked forward to and NOBODY liked. (we watched 2 episodes)
I only considered the first 3 seasons of the Sopranos good, although we watched to the bitter end.
Hmmmm....I guess there's just not much on tv that I actually like....(I'm a BBC and History Channel documentary gal)
Edited to say, I never got into True Detective either.

I wanted to like Jessica Jones over all, and I really enjoyed parts of it, but it was mostly a mess. I tried so hard to like this show and I just could not get into it, I didn't even finish it. And I love Danid Tennant. RE: Firends When it was originally on I watche did't religiously, I couldn't get enough to of it. A few years ago I tried to watch a re-run, I had to stop myself from bashing my head against the wall. It was so bad, the laugh track, the jokes, everything about it was cringeworthy.

And I love Danid Tennant. Did you ever watch Broadchurch? He's great in that (and I do really love that series) ... sorry, I know this thread is about what we couldn't get into instead of what we liked. But couldn't resist at the mention of David Tennant.

I've watched the first season, but I haven't watched the second yet. He was my favorite Doctor, I really miss him in that role. Going back to the topic of the thread, Ihave not been abl to get into the Doctor Who series. That new Doctor doesn't do it for me, I like Matt Smith but this new guy, I'm not sure.

^ moiaf, me either! Everybody who knows me has told me I'd love Dr. Who, but I've just never been able to get into it. I might if I go back to the DT season(s).

I really liked the first few series and DT was fantastic while he held the role. The show is super Canty and quirky but that's part of the charm.

I remember watching the pilot when I was a teenager, who didn't think he had time for that serialised television shit, only because it was such a big deal or something. Thought it was okay, never watched another episode.
And never revisited it, feels like a zeitgeist kind of show that wouldn't be the same without the buzz of speculation that comes with following it live.
