I’ll go first:

Breaking Bad.

I can’t do it. I’ve seen the first season! I know what you’re going to say next: oh but it gets better after the first season you HAVE to watch it.

The Walking Dead.

Can’t do it. There is so much walking dead bullshit I simply can’t watch it.

Battlestar Galactica.

I know its good. I’ve been told over and over and over again. I simply can’t!

None of these shows are going to live up to the hype I can feel it in my bones.

Andor might be in that boat but I did watch it all the way through. Probably won’t again. I liked it, but if you haven’t seen it yet I can’t imagen it lives up to the hype. Maybe a little.

          the guy just loves to keep opening new plotlines without ever resolving shit. “now that I’ve set up five different crises, I’ll spend 300 pages introducing new characters and subplots!” fuck off. it got so annoying that I just quit halfway through one of the later books

      a massive bullet dodged, i do dislike when some nerds make comparisons to historical figures or events by referencing the show still though. like i dont know what the “red wedding” or “barethian” or “danerys” was and i dont give a fuuuuuck

      I had a good time as a book reader who kept seeing absolutely unhinged shit they came up with for the show and laughing at how stupid it was.
