Stranger things is just my sort of thing, yet despite how many times I tried to give it a go, I just could not get into it

Breaking Bad

LividGas · 14/10/2023 10:34

I’ve got 3/4 of the way through the first season of The Wire twice. And no further. But it should be right up my street.

BlackboardMonitorVimes · 14/10/2023 10:35

Killing Eve. I really tried, but it was terrible.

Interested in this thread?

I watched the first series of Stranger Things but I couldn’t get into the rest. I didn’t like Killing Eve either.

Only fools and horses
peaky blinders
eastenders
coronation street
midsomer murders

Chipperchopper · 14/10/2023 10:38

Game of Thrones. Or 'tits and dragons' as Ian McShane called it. Can't get excited about fictional kingdoms I think.

Soubriquet · 14/10/2023 10:39

Oh Killing Eve. I watched series one…and it was so meh I gave up

Friends.

Testarossa44 · 14/10/2023 10:39

Killing Eve, waking the dead, the office.

Violetparis · 14/10/2023 10:39

Succession

DinnaeFashYersel · 14/10/2023 10:40

Game of Thrones
Stranger Things

Tried both and found them very dull

Am persevering with Breaking Bad but not loving it.

Squiblet · 14/10/2023 10:40

Motherland. It was so unfunny, and all the characters were annoying.

Thesearmsofmine · 14/10/2023 10:42

This is Us. I honestly found it so dull.

MermaidEyes · 14/10/2023 10:44

Orange is the New Black. Couldn't get past the first few episodes. Sons of Anarchy too.

Amdone123 · 14/10/2023 10:47

I remember getting really excited for Lost.
It was promoted as a cross between Friends and a castaway, shipwrecked type situation - both of which I love.
Twas rubbish.

Any soap, though I was brought up watching Coronation Street, when it was good !
Now, I just hear mindless drivel.

MehtotheChristmasrunup · 14/10/2023 10:48

Succession for me too.
Everyone was on about the characters being complex but they seemed pretty “made forTV” to me. I liked the music!

MangoAF · 14/10/2023 10:48

Yellowstone. Really annoying cos there’s loads of it and it could me going for ages if I could just enjoy it. I love westerns/cowboy/Native American stuff too.

way2serious · 14/10/2023 10:49

Friends

MangoAF · 14/10/2023 10:50

And I worked with Kelly Reillys mum for years and like telling DH as we are watching thing with her in, which is another blow.

Spidey66 · 14/10/2023 10:51

Breaking Bad.
And I've never got round to trying Line of Duty despite all the hype.

reesewithoutaspoon · 14/10/2023 10:52

Another vote for succession. It wasn't I disliked it, can't really put my finger on it. Didn't keep my attention and found I just wasn't bothered about watching another episode.

Libertass · 14/10/2023 10:55

Another vote for Game of Thrones. Anything which features dragons isn’t really my cup of tea. I’m reliably informed that the tits aspect was good, though.
