/dev/null Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Reading thru the last few posts in the "Notable Netflix" got me thinking. With all the shows available in our era of "Peak TV" there are plenty of great shows out there. But there are also plenty of duds, bombs, and streaming stinkers. The kind of show that when you're done, you think sometime in the distant future you will be laying on your deathbed looking back at your life and really wish you hadn't wasted those precious hours watching such a terrible show. So with that said, I'll go first: Brittania on Amazon Prime. If you see it show up in your recommended list, avoid it. Beowulf on Amazon Prime. This one showed up in my recommended list but I remember watching it on DirecTV a few years ago before I cut the cord.

LeGOATski Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 I don't spend enough time on stinkers nowadays to even remember them. There's just not enough time. With so many good shows out, I give a show 1 episode, maybe 2... Crappy shows I've seen my wife watching... Riverdale Fuller House How to Get Away with Murder

They were able to keep every detail in the book so you didnt miss anything, but nothing more so it wasnt watered down. Starz killed American Gods and got it way wrong by trying to make it something beyond the book. 1

Riverdale Fuller House How to Get Away with Murder how to get away with murder has to be the worst show I have seen. I suffered through one season. They are defense lawyers, yet end up constantly committing or witnessing murders.

I keep seeing it advertised because of Him Gaffigan on Facebook. He did a few movies last year. Can't say I have any interest in watching it even though I like his stand up. Reading some of the comments from people who watched it and they all loved it, but they sounded more like people who just wanted a wholesome clean movie and would rave about anything he did....

What she didn't like was how formulaic it was.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Suffering through the end of “You” season 1. Awful, awful show....wife insists that we finish S1.

The acting isn't great but the storyline kept me interested that me and my wife watched the entire first 2 seasons, it's coming back for a season 3 yet not sure what they can do to it to add anything.

I’m interested in what happened to the owner of the bookshop. Seems like there was a long revenge game by Joe that played out and I’m interested in that flashback, but I’m not watching another season plus to find out what happened. I’d welcome a spoiler on that.
