This show just came to an end and it’s got to be one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen, but somehow always entertaining. Preferable if the show has a large amount of viewers to trash it and laugh at it.
TWD main show got pretty terrible too. It’s sad because FTWD definitely had some good moments too and at a certain point it even looked like it improved a bit again. But now it feels just like some trash tier zombie show.
- Falling Skies. A science fiction series executive produced by Steven Spielberg about a ragtag group of survivors after an alien invasion.
- The Strain. Sci-fi/horror show created by Guillermo del Toro. About vampires; think modern retelling of Dracula. And nukes are involved at some point.
Seconding Falling Skies here. Entertainingly bad. Think Red Dawn but with aliens instead of Russians.
Naah, it wasn’t that bad. I like to imagine every alien army has a boss that hands out insta-wins when they die. Like Independence Day. Or Independence Day 2.
Yeah it’s like Iraq. When Saddam was killed they won!
The strain gets really rough around the last two seasons.
It gets rough right from the first episode. This asshole is the protagonist I’m supposed to be cheering for?
I never watched past ep 1, LOL
The soundtrack by Ramin Djawadi was good though, if I recall
NBC has a show called “The Nightly News”, and from 2017-2021 the writing was completely insane and the main characters were basically cartoonish villains, but it was hard not to watch. There were tons of other viewers and an ungodly number of fan sites online to discuss the various sub-plots and characters.
By early 2020, one of the 2019 sub-plots went completely viral and millions of people didn’t even leave their houses.
In late 2020, one of the main characters was voted off the show and it became a whole “thing”. The writers, ultimately, didn’t really remove the character—just minimized him to a series of courtroom B-stories, and the occasional fan-service appearance.
The show is still on, but I think it must have different show runners these days.
I wonder if foundation would qualify? If you were a fan of the books and expecting something remotely similar you’d be wildly disappointed. But the visuals in the show are really good and one of the storylines (Not even remotely found in the book) is really entertaining with one of the actors (Lee Pace) putting on an absolute clinic.
Halo If you’re looking for pure shit
Never read the books. Enjoying the show. Lee Pace is a gem.
I didn’t read the books and maybe I’m too starved for decent space / sci-fi shows but I still enjoy Foundation.
Haven’t read the books yet but love the show. Which part of the emperor plot isn’t in the book or are you saying there was no dynasty in the books?
I enjoyed the show also, but it’s sort of like a fan fiction set in the first couple chapters of the book? The book quickly moves from generation to generation, crisis to crisis and leaves empire and these characters far behind
Ahhh okay, I get it I think but not gonna spoil for anyone else reading lol.
In my opinion, no show has ever done WTF as well as ‘The Venture Brothers.’
Take all the tropes you know and love and punch them in the ovaries.
Who is mowing all the lawns???
I had no idea it was still going. I got about 6 episodes in and gave up.
Lmao that was when it was still kinda interesting. You couldn’t possibly imagine how bad seasons 3 to 4 (if memory serves) were if you only know the first episodes.
Weird, consensus is usually that S3 is the best. I sort of agree. Troy and the land/water rights issues made it interesting
Then the show becomes terrible around S4’s second half
Same. And if it had been a standalone zombie show that wasn’t attached to TWD it’s unlikely I’d have given it more than one or two episodes.
To be fair the early Fear seasons weren’t too bad, the only real complaint I had back then was that they barely spent any time exploring the early days of the zombie breakout. It’s like they noped out of the LA area & immediately settled into the slower story mode that mid-season TWD was already in. IMO Black Summer (a different zombie series) did the early stuff right, just about every episode in the first season was tense & they lost people most episodes, I can’t remember for sure but it seemed like most of the original cast was gone by the end of the first season alone.
But to answer your question maybe the Van Helsing series? They had a similar arc like Fear, first few seasons were amazing (probably better than Fear) but wow by the time they made it to the last season the writing was at about the same level of Fear.
The Dynasty reboot.
Maybe One Tree Hill?
X Files
Anything Marvel.
