What I’m not watching.

.

Since I recently posted about the good shows I’ve been watching, I thought I’d be fair and blog about the shows I tried watching but didn’t like well enough to continue.

I liked Breaking Bad years ago so I figured this series would be right up my alley. Prequel/sequel, whatever… I was here for it. Maybe there was too much time between viewings but I just couldn’t catch the vibe of this show. To be honest I found it more than a little annoying.

I loved Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and The Madison – so clearly I’m team Taylor Sheridan. And when I heard he was spinning off a show for Kayce Dutton? I was totally on board … until I saw the first two episodes and realized Marshals had none of the gravitas of its predecessors. Too much bang bang machismo action, not enough character development. I lamented the fact Taylor had let me down, until I read he didn’t write this show after problems with the new management of the Paramount/CBS merger. All I can say is… it shows. Hard pass.

A friend recommended this comedy to me a while back and after the three stupid episodes I forced myself to watch? I might have to reexamine our friendship. It was that bad.

I know a lot of people love Ozark but I’m afraid I’m not one of them. We sat through five episodes hoping it would click but all I can say is… meh. It just didn’t hold my interest.

This is a show I was dying to watch when it debuted. So much hype. So much great press. But we had slow internet then and couldn’t stream. Now that I can? My disappointment was palpable. Yes, the retro vibe was fun but I found it rather boring and honestly… post Me Too movement? The treatment of women was hard to swallow. I stuck it out for 7 episodes but just couldn’t.

Watch Jon Hamm in AppleTV’s Your Friends and Neighbors. That’s so much better.

      1. My daughter used to yell at me when I’d catch a random episode of Lost or Breaking Bad and ask her “Who’s this guy?” Watching them out of order is not a good idea…I guess.
