      Wow if I have to resort to speed up something then I’m watching it because I have to, not because I want to. May I ask, which ones? Of those, the only one that I have on my Maybe Someday List is The Last of Us.

        Why is that out of interest? Plenty of shows here have been universally acclaimed and I don’t think there are many people who wouldn’t love at least one of the shows here.

        What are some of your favourite shows you have seen? I’d be curious what you enjoy if there’s nothing in this list that appeals.

          Honestly I haven’t heard about the majority in the list, and those I did just didn’t grab my attention. I’m not saying they are bad shows. I can’t speak of what I haven’t watched.

          It’s difficult to get me to follow up on a series. I prefer movies. When I do series, it’s likely to be animation. Bojack Horseman comes to mind as something I’ve watched recently, that isn’t ages old, and that I’ve enjoyed a lot. HAPPY! is another, mostly live action, but I still need to finish S2. All other examples of live action tv shows I’ve watched a substantial amount of eps are from before streaming became standard, and even then I haven’t finished a lot of those.

          I think it’s because of something in the way shows are marketed + my personal experiences of trying shows and not liking them/getting bored. It irks me when the plot quality of a show goes down as the series progresses. I see a movie trailer and I get a pretty good idea if it’s worth my time or not, but that’s not the case with long format shows.

          If you had to sell me some of the shows in the comic, which ones would be and why?

            Sounds totally fair enough mate. I’m not really the person to ask because most of these shows are shows I want to watch but haven’t yet. Last of Us is fantastic though and the boys is as enjoyable as any superhero property imo, mainly because it feels like it’s pretty much what would actually happen in our world if superheros existed and doesn’t pull any punches (literally), where every other show would just give you a sound effect while it cuts to someone’s reaction, the boys will give you slow motion and high focus so you can see the details of someone’s head being pulled off their body or something equally (often more) horrific.

            Ted Lasso sounds more likely to grab you from that list if only because it’s 30min episodes and relies on humour more than plot. But this is still based on others opinions, it’s just a show I still want to watch at the moment so I could hate it yet. I tend to find that most things which are universally acclaimed are well worth watching though.

                No worries. Another show that sprang to mind which isn’t in this list is the legend of vox machina.

                It’s an amazon prime series based on critical role and follows the first campaign relatively faithfully (so far). It came to mind because it’s an animation and the setting and plots are well thought out. Characters have been played by the voice actors for literally hundreds of hours before the show was even conceived so whilst there are clichés aplenty, the characters are fully formed and fleshed out from the start. I’m biased because I was addicted to CR since the early days but the show really stands up on its own in my opinion.

                It sounds corny as fuck but it’s one that was 100% made with love and if you like adult cartoons I really recommend it.

                  Alright! I haven’t heard about that one either, I’ll keep in mind too. Thanks!
