I'm probably gonna get downvoted to hell, but I have to say it - Game of Thrones. I'll never understand the insane hype about it. It's like 13-years-old's idea of a "mature" story: bleak, depressing, nihilistic, full of senseless gore and sexual violence. It's like it prioritized shock value over everything else.
I unironically think Avatar: the Last Airbender is better in GoT in almost all aspects.

As someone who absolutely loved the books (at least the first three) The TV series proved that GRRM had no effing clue why people liked the books.

I used to watch the New Jersey, Orange County and Vancouver ones in my 20s. I'm close to 40 now. Tried rewatching Orange County from the first season. I now don't know what drew me into that show. I think it's because I'm wiser to how reality TV works and how the producers set up drama. I did like Lydia, the Canadian. She seemed to bring the show a bit down to Earth. Most memorable is when they all went to Whistler, BC. Vicky got into an argument with someone in the middle of a ski slope. Lydia comes snowboarding along "How did this get brought up on a ski slope?" Then she asks Alexis "Wanna go make a snow angel?" While Vicki and another girl are shouting at each other. XD I think it was just how ridiculous it all was.

The absolute worst was The Celebrity Apprentice. It consisted of a group of has-beens competing on marketing tasks created by various corporate sponsors. The entertainment factor for viewers was trying to understand how these contestants became "celebrities" in the first place and how bad most of them were at business.

The host was an overweight, overly confident, NY real estate developer and his dim-witted, suck-up children. I wonder whatever happened to them.

Rings of Power, that show was boring, the main character was unwatchable, and the side characters were equally annoying. A close second is a show on Netflix called Welcome to Eden. I really don't recommend that show.

Yellowstone.
Born and raised here in Montana and connected to the various establishments depicted in that horse Opera. Even set up tipis at the Lodge. But amongst all the nonsensical parts the one that got me was John Dutton's cell phone stopping a 5.56 round fired at point blank range. For the most part the show is a slander on Montana and because of it's popularity people who don't belong here are moving in and raising the cost of living.

The sitcom they made about the cavemen from GEICO called, wait for it, "Cavemen". Absolute drivel, not surprisingly as it was based on a one-liner.
It lasted from October 2 to November 20, 2007 and I'm surprised it lasted that long. I watched one episode and knew it was a bomb immediately.

13 Reasons Why. I tried following along for a few episodes with my daughter. I just got bored, confused and disturbed. There was not enough explanation. I can only explain it as dead air, or like drinking water that never satisfies your thirst, or a cold feeling that never goes away in the roof of your mouth.
I'm glad I stopped there because I heard the last episode of season 1 has a very graphic, gory R scene. My daughter didn't watch that episode. She just explained to me what she heard from others at school, and she said that scene was too much for even the gore crowd because of the sound effects.
I could probably think of 13 reasons why this is such a bad show.

Gilmore Girls.
Ok. The first couple seasons were not bad. Watchable. Relatable. Rory and Lorelei's mother/daughter relationship is similar to me and my kid's, so we had fun. I could relate a bit to Lorelei being a young mom raising a teen, and her mother is much like mine. So very relatable to me. HOWEVER, as the seasons progressed, it became unrelatable, annoying and often unbearable. I drudged along hoping the plots would get better. Instead Rory became this brooding, complaining pest who kept going on about the same things episode after episode. The quick dialogues, indecisiveness and back and forth plots started giving me nausea. Once we got to the end of the last season I was so sick, physically and mentally, I vowed never to watch this show again.

The movie starring Julia Roberts called “Leave The World Behind”. Every time they had to run for their lives, they ran TOWARDS danger. For instance, Julia and “family” are on the beach. The son sees a freighter is heading towards shore. The freighter appears to be a good distance away from their spot on the beach. It looks like they could have stayed put and been safe. But what did they do? They all ran to the LEFT heading towards the oncoming unstoppable freighter and barely got out of the way. So stupid. There are more but that is the one that stuck with me.

Netflix's adaptation of Cowboy Bebop.

I'm a diehard fan of the original anime series, but Netflix's adaptation drops the ball pretty hard. Spoilers to Netflix's series, but it's a bad show, so does it really matter?

1: The main cast don't act exactly like their counterparts from the anime.
2: It changes too many plot points from the anime.
3: Ed was teased as a character for season 2 (though it was not renewed for season 2 just a few weeks after the show dropped), despite being a major character in the anime.
4: Trying to make a season 2 out of a show that didn't need one (the original Cowboy Bebop was only 25 episodes, and had original movie).
5: Vicious being a pathetic villain, despite being awesome in the anime.
6: Julia being a twist villain, when she wasn't a villain in the anime.

I'm glad Netflix would at least nail their adaptations of Yu Yu Hakusho, and especially One Piece, following the disaster that was their attempt at Cowboy Bebop. The original anime is still on Netflix (at least in Canada) at the time of me writing this post, so there's no need to watch their pathetic adaptation.

Final score:

CG (Submission author) 10 months ago

The fact that they even tried to recreate the iconic opening, but not attempting to do it shot for shot, should be your first indication that the adaptation was going to suck. At least they had the common sense to use the original opening for the adaptation.

Lydsylou (she/her) (Submission author) 10 months ago

These are the plot holes I thought of: 1. A shoe made of glass is not safe 2. How did the show fall off it was a perfect fit 3. It's not a glass slipper it's a glass high heel shoe 4. Why did the godmother leave it until Cinderella was legally old enough to just leave the house to save her why not come at literally any point before then 6. When the fairy godmother encounters this abused young girl why does she think that a husband and a pretty dress will solve all her problems? That doesn't seem like a responsible guardian 7. Her magic ends at midnight so why didn't the shoe disappear? 8. Why did it end in the middle of the party why not when it's over? 9. Why did the prince not ask for Cinderellas name/address 10. How come Cinderella is the only size 6 in the entire kingdom? 12. How much meat was on her sister's feet that in the animated version she can literally only stick her big toe in the shoe? 12. When the prince saw Cinderella why did he make her prove her identity by putting on the shoe why didn't he just recognise her face
