Somewhere In The Ether…

You know there’s often posts on here asking what series we’re all presently enjoying on Netflix/Prime etc?

Well fuck that! - I want to know what series you’ve started but abandoned due to it being, in your opinion, absolute and utter fucking shite.

Off you go good folks

I think it was 1898, set on a ship and they find an abandoned ship, weird as fuck, only lasted three episodes.

I got through about 20 mins of GoT and knew I’d think it would be wank and turned it off. Didn’t interest me whatsoever

Oh yes! Westworld; I really did try to enjoy that.

Madmen, I wanted to see the ads being created, not some chainsmoker trying to shag his client. I can't even remember his name.

I've read a few books on adverts and they were a lot more engaging.

To be honest series 1 isn't the best,but it sets up everything else.

Doesn't start getting proper good until series 2.

But there's lots of shagging and boobies, deaths and that.

And " Cunt"

And the all time classic

"Ugly cunt"

Plenty (especially the US stuff) start off with promise. But they run for season after season and become tedious and watered down after a while when the idea's begin to run out. Westworld, The 100, Schits Creek. They all started well but got boring in the end.

He’s such a cool guy. I especially loved him playing himself (and sending himself up something rotten!) in, My Name Is Bruce.

And the song that plays throughout it…..legendary!

Amen! I really wanted to enjoy that series and really liked the promised ‘Goonies’ style eighties vibe.

Probably The Walking Dead. I did watch all seasons and episodes but it felt very drawn out during the last few seasons.

It felt like the only thing that mattered was the zombies and you seen one, you seen them all. Yawn.

This is why I am enjoying The Last of Us. The Infected are not the reason to watch the show. They are just a background antagonist.

TLOA is all about going deep in to the psyche's of the characters and their backstories and that's much more rewarding. I care more about the actors in TLOA five episodes in, than I cared for any of the TWD characters after all the seasons.

Yeah its still on my keep watching list its gonna be staying there as well no way I can finish it.

The other one for me was Squid Game, I kept seeing people raving about it on social media, friends and family watched it and said it was brilliant, I just found it really boring still can't understand what all the fuss was about.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Hear me out on this one as this might sound initially controversial, but many Korean series…

They’re invariably exceptionally well made and acted but each episode is typically well over the hour mark (some 90 mins!) and a series is usually 16 or so episodes.

This inevitably leads to needless ‘padding out’ of the storylines in order to fulfil the episode quotas which very often proves a chore to watch in its entirety.

A real shame.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Gentleman Jack: It’s an admittedly, clearly very well made and acted period drama production.

So what was my issue with it?

Basically, I have a curious aversion for any film or series in which the main character turns to the camera and speaks to the audience directly - a gimmick which I personally find to be highly irritating and highly pretentious.

I therefore lasted about three minutes into the series before giving up.

Instinct: This was sadly, a really wasted opportunity.

Alan Cummin was admittedly brilliant as the lead but the series couldn’t seem to decide on its actual target audience and seemed to fluctuate awkwardly between being a serious adult crime drama and a lighthearted daytime type TV crime show.

I watched a few episodes before giving up in frustration
