2001: A Space Odyssey.

The worst movie I've ever seen, I was actually angry afterwards that I wasted an entire night watching that boring bullshit.

Literally nothing happens for 150 minutes. Just a collection of uninteresting, unrelated scenes, stitched together with no plot or ending.

Bah

I agree with you! I re-watched it for only the second time a couple of years ago and really, really don't understand the whole hype about it, it's a very poor, cliche ridden film

Papillon (the Steve McQueen/Dustin Hoffman one) is a far superior film.

So many people failed to get past Season 2.

Even TG4, who had unknowingly got a banger, dropped it after Season 2.

Ye all just missed one of the greatest shows ever made! There's a lesson in there somewhere!

Aot of people don't like some great shows.

I think it's mainly because they started too late...You had listened to all the hype, but you weren't there for the suspense. That was what made Breaking Bad and GOT so good. They were just before the Netlfix binge watching era. Instant gratification fucks everything up!

I agree. The likes of Breaking bad, before it was meme'd to death, and when you had to wait till next week to see what happened, it was incredible.

I myself tried watching GOT after it hearing people harp on about it for years, and already knowing what to expect due to it being everywhere, and I was bored.

I'll agree and disagree to some extent.

I've never watched any TV show twice.

I watched GOT every week when it was first aired and enjoyed most of it but the final season was completely shit and ruined everything that had gone before. Therefore if anyone asks me if they should watch it I'll say no it's pointless.

I didn't watch Breaking Bad, The Wire or the Sopranos until after they had finished and I rented the boxsets from Xtravision and watched them that way and enjoyed them but again not enough to ever watch them more than once.

I've never seen a single episode of the Simpsons and have no intention of ever watching it or any of the other popular animated shows because they don't appeal to me at all. I can't say any of them are crap because I've never watched them.

There are other TV shows that have been mentioned here and in other threads that I've never even heard of and had to Google.

Some people are able to quote from shows all the time like Father Ted.

I think I've seen 3 or 4 episodes in total and yes they were funny but I don't get the hype.

The same with Derry Girls. I'm not exaggerating when I say that watching it was like a documentary that I had already lived through and I didn't find it funny at all.

I've never finished the first season.

The whole genre of musicals, I just don't get it, why? It's ridiculous. I love sci-fi and find it easier to believe in aliens and dimensions than people breaking into song and dance. I've never managed to watch a musical, I made it 30 minutes into Sunshine on Leith, I have nightmares about the sound of music or wizard of Oz.
