Friends for me = the lack of diversity of any form.

I preferred shows that reflect the reality of NYC.


So pompous.

Breaking Bad and The Americans. DH loves The Americans but I can't get into it, for some reason.... can't pinpoint why.

Grey's Anatomy. This is Us. Sappy emo garbage.

Breaking Bad. House of Cards. Walking Dead. Lost. All boring.

The Office. Not funny and not relatable for me.

Barry. Not for me.

Can you name any show that actually does that?

I actually low key judge women who are into This is Us. I find them to be unable to go deep.


Just out of curiosity, which shows IYO go deep?


PP probably low-key judges anyone who watches any TV at all. PP probably spends his/her evenings listening to 1940s radio dramas while sipping cognac and reading McSweeney's.

I miss Frasier, for example. It was very smart and played like theater. The acting and writing was in a completely different league from most of the shows discussed here. (I know it’s a comedy and most of these are dramas, but I’m referring to the overall quality.)

Gilmore Girls. Even glancing if DD is watching is too much. Walking Dead. Fear these same Dead.
Dexter. Breaking Bad.
Never watched This is Us. Never watched any csi show.
Orange is the New Black, also never watched.
The Office, and I tried. It is just stupid, imo.

SAME, PP!

Have never seen an episode of GoT and do not want to

Never got into The Office

This is Us - I got through season 2 but just barely. I quietly judge anyone who is still watching.


If you have “never seen an episode” you can’t say you “couldn’t get into it.”
