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.

    i don’t base my media consumption choices on spite for people, so i get to watch good shows instead of running a test against some mental list of things I won’t watch because “that will show em!”

    ill also watch just about any pilot/first episode, because in theory it’s a team coming together to lead off with their dramatic/emotional hook and A-material for production value. so if they can’t sell me on it and there’s no other compelling, external reason to stick around after the first ep, i move on.

    i also don’t recommend shows to people unless they specifically ask my opinion on what to watch, and then i tailor it to them and what they’re looking for in terms of story telling.

    because a lot of people have weird hangups where they refuse to watch anything with Peter Falk because their uncle’s piano tuner looked like him and he farted too much one day during hockey practice… and I’d just as soon not know any of this.
