Something about his monotone voice, the sets usually being dark and I can't quite put my finger on it all but it makes my head feel like I'm drunk and everything is filtered. It makes me genuinely uncomfortable.

I haven't seen Mr. Robot, but this is pretty much why I walk out of the room when Mr Cho watches Peaky Blinders.

I've never seen The Sopranos, Mad Men or Breaking Bad because none of these shows have ever seemed appealing to me.

I tried The Sopranos. I saw one episode and it was really unpleasant. There was a woman being gang raped. That was enough for me.

Mad Men I trudged through for season after season as it became more and more dull and more and more enthralled with its own self importance. Finally, after waiting a year for the final season, they only showed 6 episodes and waited another entire fucking year to show the last 6 episodes - so they'd have better chances at the Emmys. Fuck them. I haven't gotten around to seeing the last 6 episodes.

Breaking Bad - I know it's supposed to be the most brilliant show ever and the dentist from Seinfeld is the most brilliant actor ever, but it seems like a chore to me. Never seen it.

I don't know if you and are missing that much.

I've been resistant to the idea of ever going back and watching Mad Men for the same reason.

I do hope to get around to The Sopranos one of these days; Breaking Bad was worth my while.

I have zero interest in watching Stranger Things. I don't have any interest in the genre or the movies it's an homage to; I was too young in the 80s to care about any of them.

My "huge and/or impactful hits I never really gave a fuck about" list is still topped by Sex and the City, Lost and Freaks and Geeks. (Admitting that last one really chaps a lot of geek hide in my neck of the woods, so I rarely even whisper about it.)

Just. not. interesting.

I co-sign all of this. I also haven't seen any reason to go back to Jessica Jones. Don't love Krysten Ritter and found the whole thing pretty meh.

I made it through the first two seasons of Breaking Bad and wasn't interested anymore. And normally I like popular/highly rated shows but this one I couldn't get into. I have to hear my brother all the time rave about this show and how I should give it a chance. Nope. On the other hand, I think Deadwood might be my favorite show of all time even though it was cancelled too early, and he didn't like it. Siblings! We both agree that The Wire is a phenomenal show at least.

I watched all seasons of Mad Men but the last few were quite a self-indulgent dreadful mess.

I have never watched The Sopranos and normally I like gangster dramas, but now that so much time has passed I don't feel like I want to invest the time to watch the series from the beginning when there's so many new shows around that I'd rather watch.

I could not get into Breaking Bad. I saw two and a bit episodes.

Stumbled upon Ray Donovan. Just finished the first season. It's not bad.

My "I have no interest in these, so don't tell me how I should watch because they're awesome" list:

Game of Thrones
Mr. Robot
Outlander
