what i see in this thread is a lot of folks that think they should have good taste, but really don't and haven't come to grips with it yet.

I get why Mad Men is not popular with everyone. It is character driven and a very slow burn. But damn I loved that series.

I have zero interest in watching Toy Story 4.

Enjoyed the first couple as a kid, but haven't ever felt like rewatching 1-3 in years and don't care much anymore about the series.

Oh I know I'll get roasted but I seriously don't care about it.

I am surprised and relieved to see so many others bring up the office.
Someone mentioned the social awkwardness, which I had never really thought about but agree on.
But, and I know this is blasphemy to some here...Michael Scott was completely unwatchable for me. In a show filled with great office stereotypes, his was completely unrealistic, and just downright annoying. I get that was his purpose to a large extent, but that's all he was. I mean the second episode would have gotten him fired from any company in America (Diversity Day), and that was just a warmup act for the things he did later. Nothing he ever did had consequence.

I also agree on mad men, I tried.,,clearly well written but just not my thing. Made it through season 1, but stopped there.

I think he's just a bit too cartoony and ridiculous, for me.

Whereas David Brent is believable, which makes the awkardness that much more cringey.

To be fair, I greatly prefer Ricky Gervais to Carrell as a comedic actor.

The British Office is great. I thought the American version was ok. I watched the first two seasons and quit.

Should like and don't

Sad thing is you're pretty much correct on the rest of the should like but don't list.

Dunkirk had all the makings of a great move....and yet it fell mostly flat. Unnecessarily confusing. Too buttoned up. Safe.


It looked great and was boring as hell.

I tried so many times to watch Veep. It's a show that should be right up my alley, and I just... don't like it.
