How I Met Your Mother. Every episode glorifies Ted’s toxic behavior and makes it look romantic. I get so triggered watching that show

If no one else will say it, I will. Squid game is WAY overhyped. I’ve seen people say it’s the best Netflix show or even the best Korean show. If people give other Asian media a chance they’ll find way better than automatically assuming that the first Asian show they see on Netflix is the best thing ever.
#7
Most doctor/hospital shows. They can be ok for a while but they get predictable quickly and run for way too long.
#9
Game of thrones hands down, it left good threads hanging but never really stitched them into anything.
#10
Suits - Most of the episodes consists of these high and mighty lawyers consistently running into ‘dead ends’, not knowing what to do, but they will be having a side conversation and the person they’re talking to makes one remark about something AND THAT’S IT, they have found their answers. Onto the next episode to do the same exact thing! It’s cheap writing and office drama, he said she said stuff.
#12
This is Us.
Intense emotional sensations to get your weekly cry in which is healthy sure but not the masterpiece everyone’s Mom makes it out to be.
#13
This is coming as someone who loves anime and who’s favorite show is naruto. But it’s naruto. That show is great, and 45% filler episodes, do I need to say more?
#14
How has noone said Sons Of Anarchy? It's ridiculous. We are supposed to believe that their "club" is the most important thing to them all and they would do anything for their "brothers". But they just kill each other.
It almost never shows why someone would want to be in that life.
We're supposed to root for the main character because everyone loves him but all I could think was get those children away from this.
#15
BoJack Horsemen. People act like it’s some kind of masterful psychological deep dive. But it’s just another cheep adult comedy animated show.
#16
Euphoria. It has impressive cinematography and is well acted. But the plot is all over the place and the characters are shallower than a shower . The only characters that have any depth and don't come off too stereotypical is rue and Jules.
Its a poor man's UK skins and a rich man's US skins.
#19
Controversial opinion probably: Dexter. Outstanding 1st season. Then meh all the way to the end.

Edit: Dean-alings! I never said I don't like the show, just that it is overrated in it's praise! I love the first couple of seasons.
#22
The Mandalorian. Actors are bad, it's always the same thing every single episode. Mando arrives at a planet, needs something from from the inhabitants, they agree to give it to him in exchange of a mission, he agrees, it doesn't go smoothly, and eventually gets what he needed while baby Yoda does something unexpected (whether it be disappearing or using the force to prevent Mando from being killed).
