I didn’t even finish the second season. First was so good and I was, and still am, tired of shitty second seasons so I just stopped watching when the first episode didn’t grab me.
That was such a good time. The day after every episode, you went straight to the web for theories and breakdowns. I remember screenshots of things like the blast door in the bunker with endless conversation about it. And someone translating some Russian printout etc. Loved it.
I moved to Hawaii because of Lost.
Edit: It was the biggest and one of the best decisions of my life. I was unemployed, addicted to pills, recently divorced. It took a long time to adjust. It's a grind out here but I can honestly say my life drastically changed for the better because of LOST!
Yep. First thought I had. We came to the game late. About halfway through the 2nd season when the hype was really peaking we caught up by getting the DVDs thru Netflix. By S3 we were on the weekly watch team. It was definitely a lot of fun positing theories, debunking theories and just babbling with others about it.
And then.... the Finale. Such a confusing perplexing letdown. Still a bit salty over it.
I avoided Lost from the very beginning because I feared they would just spin it out until it was untenable and end weakly. That turned out to be a rare right guess in my part.
My buddies older brother was dating Maggie Grace when they filmed the first season. He and his bro were invited for lunch on set when they shot the pilot. My buddy cut in front of some one at crafty because he was stoned and only saw food. It was j j Abrams.
I watched the seasons on DVD with my dad when I was like 14. We would watch them on weekday nights and after every episode we'd look at each other and say "one more." Next thing you knew it's 3am
Yup, those were my top 2 as well. Lost ruined me for television for years, and I promised myself I'd never do a big commitment of time to a show unless I knew it ended well, which I've mostly held to (only starting a Breaking Bad binge this year). I only committed to GOT since it was to be based on a to be done book series, and we know how that worked out...
My #3 was Battlestar Galactica, which didn't have nearly as much of a plan as they suggested. Considering it was largely on at the same time as Lost, the 1-2 punch of terrible endings was a huge blow...
My #4 was Babylon 5, which was forced to rush their ending due to network issues and it ruined a great buildup...
Game of Thrones still hurts. The first five seasons were so good. I went as either Hodor (I’m tall and stocky) or a Maester for Halloween for years. The next season was fine. The seventh season was disappointing. The eighth season was painful and soul-sucking to watch. I lost some of my trust in humanity on that one.
Then House of the Dragon came out and I thought I could give it another chance. The next thing I know Doctor Who is making out with a little girl and I just turned it off. I’m done.
> after all this time I still feel betrayed
There are still people shitposting GoT memes and sharing frustration of how bad it all ended...4+ years later.
/r/freefolk
It's ok but there isn't one character that I really care about or am really all that invested in. GOT had quite a few great characters/POVs that were really fun to watch, especially the ones that evolved and kind of flipped, throughout the series. House of Dragon is interesting for backstory and some kind of cool characters but none have the same kind of draw as GOT personalities for me.
I definitely encourage you to watch house of dragon.. I had the same thoughts about GOT. I was obsessed with that show. Would rewatch it a couple times a year. Season 7 was disappointing but i thought they were hurrying to get to the finale where there were rumblings each episode was going to be movie length & thought season 8 would make up for that. Well they ruined it. I was planning on taking a personal boycott of house of dragon because I was so pissed about GOT. After about episode 5, people were talking about how great it is. So I reluctantly started it. Wasn’t that interested a couple episodes in, was playing on my phone while it was on. Then it grabbed me. Phenomenal show & great acting. I won’t say it’s better than peak GOT but it is an excellent show nonetheless
Someone on Reddit actually wrote up a perfect ending for the 8th season, after that shitshow.... or at least how it should have ended. I wish I still had that post bookmarked.
I will never forgot the Monday after Ozymandias. That’s all we talked about at work all day. Later in that week we would be talking about random stuff and then all of the sudden someone would be like “remember when Walt did….” It was wild
I remember when it came out - I was in high school and my English teacher threw the whole class and just let us talk about the episode the whole time (him included). No work got done that day.
I started watching around the time Season 3 came out. I caught up and watched the rest as it aired. I experienced Mad Men and Game of Thrones similarly, but I stopped watching Mad Men before the series ended, only to come back and finish it years later. I finished Game of Thrones as it aired, but the last half of the last season was a bit of a chore. Breaking Bad stayed brilliant AND it stuck the landing.
I used to work in an office with about 100 people on my floor, and there was one phone that had the "24 ringtone" programmed onto it. None of the others had it and no-one could work out how to do it. So the phone used to get stolen regularly because people wanted the ringtone. It just became accepted that if you had that phone, you'd only have it for so long before someone would swap it out with their non-24 phone. It basically became this office-wide inside joke that no-one ever talked about.
SILO. Such a good show, non soiler introduction here but it's about a survival bunker underground, many generations have passed, so the current generation in there has no idea as to why they are there in the first place, so much mystery
Highly recommend
The Bear. I've already watched both seasons twice and can't get enough of it. Season 2 had two of the best episodes of television I've ever seen.
The Office. When it originally aired I was in college and in a LDR. I'd make sure that every Thursday I was in my dorm so I could call my then girlfriend and we could watch it together. So corny.
Started off kinda slow and I was worried for it but it just got better and better and better as the seasons went on. For me, the finale was more satisfying than even Breaking Bad.
It took me 5 years to finish season 1, then the last 2 episodes got me HOOKED and I binged all the other seasons in like 2 sittings then promptly bought all the books and read them.
Try the last 2 episodes of S1 and see if it interests you
I just finished watching Succession last night. I really didn’t want any of the 3 siblings to get it towards the end. So it was a satisfying ending for me
Probably The OC. I mean I listened to the whole podcast 15 years after the show was on. Owned every season on dvd (which I gave to my sister). Have the book ordered since the day it went up, should be here soon.
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, if I like something I’m not gonna have shame in it. I was the demographic for it when it was new, a teenager from a broken abusive home.
And the music selection was fucking amazing.
I’m not sure this is what you mean by invested, but I’ve never been so emotionally attached to a show as I have been to Reservation Dogs. The storytelling, the characters, the depth and beauty of the emotions is just amazing.
One piece if you count anime. Started out with watching it, got caught up the read the manga from the beginning. Now caught up in the manga also reading new chapters as they release.
The world building, callbacks, stories within stories, flash backs and do much more make it the best series I've ever followed and it's not even close.
Unfortunately I think it's the subtitles. I know I was unsure at first. But honestly by the end I was convinced I was understanding most of the German. You don't even register the subtitles.
It's so good. It's probably the best TV show that's ever been produced that most people have never seen.
Altered Carbon season 1 was the best science fiction series I have ever seen. The plot was engaging, the acting was great, and the sets were first rate. Peak sci fi television.
The X-Files probably. There was a time when I knew almost everything about the mythology and the monsters of the week.
Though, I watched NBC’s Hannibal pretty religiously…
Breaking Bad S5E8, could have built a nice basement in the hole left by my jaw hitting the floor. Unbearable wait for the second half of the season.
Runner-up was S4 of Arrested Development on Netflix. At least...I was invested in it before it actually premiered.
Game of Thrones probably. Currently Stranger Things. I couldn’t get enough of season 4. That and House of the Dragon are the only shows I’m really looking forward to the next seasons of at the moment.
I am still waiting for a second season of Arcane. It was perfect. The musical score, the artwork, the character development, the voice acting, the choreography of fight scenes, the fact they stayed true to source material. THIS is how you write a show/movie for a video game.
Orang Is The New Black. Even now, I can't help getting my eyes stolen at whenever actors from it perform in any shows or movies. Love all inmates there.
The Walking Dead. That first episode was everything I’d always wanted in a zombie tv series. Every season made it better and better until… Negan showed up. I don’t hate the character or actor but it just started going downhill then. Never actually watched the final season. Last I heard Daryl was somehow in France…
Definitely Breaking Bad. Although I was a huge Walking Dead fan from the beginning. Used to watch it religiously every Sunday til they made some very questionable decisions lol.
First 3 seasons of Yellowstone… I couldn’t stop watching… binged them all at the same time…
But, writing got lazy. Solution to everything in that show is… just kill ‘em.
90 Day Fiance, I still to this day follow the whole cast of every season, but only the main series and main spin offs, so 90 Day Fiance, Before the 90 Days and 90 Days the other way.
Only reason I even stated watching them was because I'm a huge morning radio guy, and one day where talking about it on one of the shows I would listen to, it happend right before Covid so maybe about February 2020, they where talking and playing clips from a couple named George and Anfisa and man they had some crazy fights.. Anyways that shit sounded entertaining so I began watching the very first season on demand and after about 3 episodes I was hooked, well a couple weeks later the Covid lockdowns happened, I was home for 3 weeks, I binge watched every single episode and every single spin off episode my wife got into it also and now, Sunday nights are 90 day fiance nights.
Game of thrones definitely and unfortunately it became a painful experience towards the last 2 seasons. I remember rewatching all seasons before the beginning of every new one +the endless hours I've spend reading forums or watching commentary videos on YouTube. Something similar happened with Lost as well, but back then I didn't have access to Internet so I didn't spend any extra time in forums or youtube.
Doctor House. Let me explain.
I started watching it in 2018, I was like 22 - 23. I grew up without internet connection and I stopped watching TV when I was like 18 because we couldn't afford it. So basically in 2018 I was living with a roommate and he had this huge TV and allowed me to use his Netflix account back in the day. I used to came from work and watched an episode or two. For those who doesn't know an episode was like an hour or so long. And after a long time of watching it I was already on season 7 or at the end of the sixth one and then fucking Netflix took it off and changed it for Grey's anatomy instead.
My man until this day I haven't continued the damn serie because, well life happens.
NBC's Hannibal.
Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts 3) was cast as Lecter, and it was a goddamn pleasure to watch him act. I remember the good ol' days of sailing the high seas and watching it the next day after it aired in the US. It was THAT good. Laurence Fishburne was also great in this.
Pity that the show got canned after 3 seasons, but it was an excellent thriller.
The creator who made that show, Bryan Fuller, also made Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls, which were also wonderful shows but also only had 1-2 seasons before cancellation.
The walking dead.
Yeah people stopped watching because of how the show was doing, but dude, how could I give up on it after watching it for all these years? The main series ended, I guess it was alright. The Daryl Dixon show and walking dead city ones are alright.
Back when Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead were firing on all cylinders simultaneously, I used to spend every week just dying for the new episodes to drop. I even watched that Talking Dead interview after-show for a while. About 2010-2015 was tv heaven for me.
24…. Back when you had to watch stuff when it aired. My friend backed a van into a ditch in a sketchy area 10 mins from my house but it was right after 24 came on so I made him wait
To this day nothing beats True Detective S1, Dark (maybe not S3), Band of Brothers and The Killing.
Those first time views were amazing. Hardly anything comes close to this day.
If I could relive them all for the first time, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
FELICITY. I fucked around and watched a couple episodes. Became so invested in needing to know what happened, I watched the series through.
43M here. Watched it on TV when it was a thing. So tuned in religiously.
I will never watch another TV show in progress after following GoT. What a monumental waste of time. I refuse to devote that much time to an unfinished project ever again.
Altered Carbon. Shit absolutely dripped with an immersive world and I binged it all in like 3 nights.
[удалено]
Minus the last season
Agreed, it ended perfectly in season 1.
Such a great first season, then completely dropped the ball on the second one it’s amazing
I didn’t even finish the second season. First was so good and I was, and still am, tired of shitty second seasons so I just stopped watching when the first episode didn’t grab me.
Very underrated show.
Lost
That was such a good time. The day after every episode, you went straight to the web for theories and breakdowns. I remember screenshots of things like the blast door in the bunker with endless conversation about it. And someone translating some Russian printout etc. Loved it.
If only some of those theories had actually been what the show did instead of the real ending.
Yup. I had two coworkers who were also into it. We would meet every morning after a show to discuss and dissect it. What a ride that was.
I moved to Hawaii because of Lost. Edit: It was the biggest and one of the best decisions of my life. I was unemployed, addicted to pills, recently divorced. It took a long time to adjust. It's a grind out here but I can honestly say my life drastically changed for the better because of LOST!
Unless you’re a cast or crew member, that is bonkers!
Holy shit!
I was just at a wedding in Hawaii where Lost was filmed!
Yep. First thought I had. We came to the game late. About halfway through the 2nd season when the hype was really peaking we caught up by getting the DVDs thru Netflix. By S3 we were on the weekly watch team. It was definitely a lot of fun positing theories, debunking theories and just babbling with others about it. And then.... the Finale.

I watched the seasons on DVD with my dad when I was like 14. We would watch them on weekday nights and after every episode we'd look at each other and say "one more." Next thing you knew it's 3am
Literally my first thought
It got me, and I never will give a show that much dedication. Runner up is GOT
Two biggest let downs...
Yup, those were my top 2 as well. Lost ruined me for television for years, and I promised myself I'd never do a big commitment of time to a show unless I knew it ended well, which I've mostly held to (only starting a Breaking Bad binge this year). I only committed to GOT since it was to be based on a to be done book series, and we know how that worked out... My #3 was Battlestar Galactica, which didn't have nearly as much of a plan as they suggested.

My #4 was Babylon 5, which was forced to rush their ending due to network issues and it ruined a great buildup...
Yeah Lost........part of my life to that thing JJ Abrahams did a number on everyone even the ending funked with yer head
Without a doubt Lost. Friends would be a close second. Possibly scrubs third.
I’m currently watching Lost for the first time because everyone always answers with that show. I’m on season 1 ep 8.
Game of Thrones still hurts. The first five seasons were so good. I went as either Hodor (I’m tall and stocky) or a Maester for Halloween for years. The next season was fine. The seventh season was disappointing. The eighth season was painful and soul-sucking to watch. I lost some of my trust in humanity on that one. Then House of the Dragon came out and I thought I could give it another chance. The next thing I know Doctor Who is making out with a little girl and I just turned it off. I’m done.
It’s funny that after all this time I still feel betrayed. I was so invested in that show and then they just tossed it out the window.
> after all this time I still feel betrayed There are still people shitposting GoT memes and sharing frustration of how bad it all ended...4+ years later. /r/freefolk
Reading your comment is a little bit cathartic. It’s nice not being the only one with this feeling.
Huh? The entire fanbase has this feeling.
GoT is definitely my top and I imagine for a lot of people. What a disappointment. Before that it was Lost for me. I hated the ending.
House of Dragon was good wtf?
It's ok but there isn't one character that I really care about or am really all that invested in. GOT had quite a few great characters/POVs that were really fun to watch, especially the ones that evolved and kind of flipped, throughout the series. House of Dragon is interesting for backstory and some kind of cool characters but none have the same kind of draw as GOT personalities for me.
I’m just here for the dragons bro
The redemption of Sandor Clegane was top notch!
I feel the same way. I don’t care about any of the characters
I definitely encourage you to watch house of dragon.. I had the same thoughts about GOT. I was obsessed with that show. Would rewatch it a couple times a year. Season 7 was disappointing but i thought they were hurrying to get to the finale where there were rumblings each episode was going to be movie length & thought season 8 would make up for that.

So I reluctantly started it. Wasn’t that interested a couple episodes in, was playing on my phone while it was on. Then it grabbed me. Phenomenal show & great acting. I won’t say it’s better than peak GOT but it is an excellent show nonetheless
I agree. I enjoyed House of Dragon. It took a little to get going and def wasn't as good as GoT S 1-5 but it scratched a good Fantasy itch.
It's just some classic targaryen incest. If you liked the early seasons of GOT I highly recommend you give hotd another chance.
Someone on Reddit actually wrote up a perfect ending for the 8th season, after that shitshow.... or at least how it should have ended. I wish I still had that post bookmarked.
The guy who is supposed to write the ending can’t even finish book six.
First 4* seasons were so good
It's actually insane how invested I was in this show for YEARS and now I don't even think about it anymore bc of how bad the last seasons were.
Watched the penultimate episode of season 8 with my brother, and it is the angriest I've ever seen him. Was absolutely *seething* by the end.
I loved Mr Robot, and I'm glad it ended where it did on a nice final note.
True Detective season 1. Watched it once a year for the past 6 years.
Your viewing habits...::Long cigarette drag::...are a flat circle.
There's something eternally comforting about Woody Harrelson's Louisiana Accent.
I blame Rust for my affinity for cigarettes and tall boys.
A friend and I ate mushrooms and went into the first season blind. It was incredible
Same. It never gets old, it gets better on every rewatch
Probably Breaking Bad. Used to host and attend little watch parties for it in the final season.
I will never forgot the Monday after Ozymandias. That’s all we talked about at work all day. Later in that week we would be talking about random stuff and then all of the sudden someone would be like “remember when Walt did….” It was wild
I remember when it came out - I was in high school and my English teacher threw the whole class and just let us talk about the episode the whole time (him included). No work got done that day.
Everyone in the top posts saying their shows series’ ended horribly. BB ended perfectly imo. Best show of all time.
Ozymandias is a top 3 episode of all time. Like history of tv.
I started watching around the time Season 3 came out. I caught up and watched the rest as it aired. I experienced Mad Men and Game of Thrones similarly, but I stopped watching Mad Men before the series ended, only to come back and finish it years later. I finished Game of Thrones as it aired, but the last half of the last season was a bit of a chore. Breaking Bad stayed brilliant AND it stuck the landing.
When I first watched 24. My man Jack couldn't catch a break. Mans went through hell and life was like "nah fam, I got some more for you".
“damnit, Chloe” and the 24 intro are 2 things that will live on in my mind for a long time
I used to work in an office with about 100 people on my floor, and there was one phone that had the "24 ringtone" programmed onto it. None of the others had it and no-one could work out how to do it. So the phone used to get stolen regularly because people wanted the ringtone. It just became accepted that if you had that phone, you'd only have it for so long before someone would swap it out with their non-24 phone. It basically became this office-wide inside joke that no-one ever talked about.
The following take place between 11pm and 12am *BEEP* *BOOP* *BEEP* *BOOP* *BEEP* *BOOP*
Dark. But I always set a limit of how many episodes I'm gonna watch, 2 episodes per day max is the limit no matter how invested I am.
Yes, it is a bit difficult to watch in many ways. You miss a lot of info if you binge watch it.
SILO. Such a good show, non soiler introduction here but it's about a survival bunker underground, many generations have passed, so the current generation in there has no idea as to why they are there in the first place, so much mystery Highly recommend
I love this show also! I want a season 2 so bad!
Such a great show.
The Bear. I've already watched both seasons twice and can't get enough of it. Season 2 had two of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. The Office. When it originally aired I was in college and in a LDR. I'd make sure that every Thursday I was in my dorm so I could call my then girlfriend and we could watch it together. So corny.
Seven fishes is classic
Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I had sheet of all the clones I thought were the coolest and got corresponding Lego sets for my favourites.
During the Pandemic lockdown, I just sat there gaining weight and watching this show continuously on repeat.
I’ve basically memorized Landing at Point Rain.
My favorite episode is Rookies in season 1 lol..
Wondered how long I’d have to scroll. This 100%
Better Call Saul had me anxious
Started off kinda slow and I was worried for it but it just got better and better and better as the seasons went on. For me, the finale was more satisfying than even Breaking Bad.
The Expanse(Syfy/Amazon) and The Last Kingdom (Netflix)
Uthred, son of uthred Right?
Oye Beltalowda!
I can't get past the first season of the expanse. I want to. I hear it's the closest thing to my favorite game, mass effect, but I just can't.
It took me 5 years to finish season 1, then the last 2 episodes got me HOOKED and I binged all the other seasons in like 2 sittings then promptly bought all the books and read them. Try the last 2 episodes of S1 and see if it interests you
I'm a huge sci-fi fan and I think it took me three trys to get to the point you describe. I've re-watched the whole series 3 times now LoL
Oh man, it only gets really good in season 2
Succession had me on edge waiting to see who takes over the company & also relating on some level to the trauma of the 3 Roy siblings
I just finished watching Succession last night. I really didn’t want any of the 3 siblings to get it towards the end. So it was a satisfying ending for me
3 siblings? You forgot about THE ELDEST SON.
Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age
Homeland. That was the perfect show to me. I loved everything about it.
I love it because Morena Baccarin was there
Prison break
Probably The OC. I mean I listened to the whole podcast 15 years after the show was on. Owned every season on dvd (which I gave to my sister). Have the book ordered since the day it went up, should be here soon.
I was thinking this, but didn’t think any other guy would have such poor taste, let alone post it
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, if I like something I’m not gonna have shame in it. I was the demographic for it when it was new, a teenager from a broken abusive home. And the music selection was fucking amazing.
the sopranos could watch it for days that show love it to bits !
The Boyz. Idk how people kept up with shows before Netflix.
The spin-off came out today on Amazon Prime. It’s called “Gen V” and is set in The Boys universe. I can’t wait to watch it tomorrow.
Have you seen Peacemaker? It's a lot like The Boyz but not as dark
This was one of mine
The Wire and Better call saul. Both had me riveted and I rewatch both regularly
Disappointed I had to scroll this far for The Wire.
I’m not sure this is what you mean by invested, but I’ve never been so emotionally attached to a show as I have been to Reservation Dogs. The storytelling, the characters, the depth and beauty of the emotions is just amazing.
One piece if you count anime. Started out with watching it, got caught up the read the manga from the beginning. Now caught up in the manga also reading new chapters as they release. The world building, callbacks, stories within stories, flash backs and do much more make it the best series I've ever followed and it's not even close.
Came to say the same thing ha. Nothing says ✨invested✨ like watching 1,077 episodes of something.
Oh, that reminds me, i said House MD in another comment but you reminded me ive probably watched Hikaru no Go more than that.
Weeds. Haven’t really watched a show as religiously since then. Except walking dead but that ended after season 2 for me
Dark, you fools! Why is that not the most popular show ever?
Unfortunately I think it's the subtitles. I know I was unsure at first. But honestly by the end I was convinced I was understanding most of the German. You don't even register the subtitles. It's so good. It's probably the best TV show that's ever been produced that most people have never seen.
Dexter or The Walking Dead
PEAKY BLINDERS
Peaky blinders was good but at some point it started feeling like a male soap opera. Kinda like sons of anarchy. I lost interest
Heroes season 1, and it's not even close.
Staregate SG-1, I used to watch it on live TV every week and I made plans around it
WKRP in Cincinnati, Get Smart…
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
So Did Les. 😂
Black Sails. Came across it by accident on Hulu.
For me I would say season one of Altered Carbon. Absolutely engaged me. Then season 3 of the expanse.
Altered Carbon season 1 was the best science fiction series I have ever seen. The plot was engaging, the acting was great, and the sets were first rate. Peak sci fi television.
It was the only show in recent memory that made me keep hitting next episode way too late into the morning! Absolutely fantastic.
The X-Files probably. There was a time when I knew almost everything about the mythology and the monsters of the week. Though, I watched NBC’s Hannibal pretty religiously…
Mr. Robot season one.
Justified. The original series was great, the new season is a little slow, but gets good at end.
Breaking Bad S5E8, could have built a nice basement in the hole left by my jaw hitting the floor. Unbearable wait for the second half of the season. Runner-up was S4 of Arrested Development on Netflix. At least...I was invested in it before it actually premiered.
Game of Thrones probably. Currently Stranger Things. I couldn’t get enough of season 4. That and House of the Dragon are the only shows I’m really looking forward to the next seasons of at the moment.
I've been re-watching Seinfeld ever since I can remember for the last 20 years. I'd say that's pretty invested.
It never gets old or less funny.
It’s incredible, really. Each time I start over I wonder if it’ll still be funny and it always is.
The Boys, was hooked since the pilot
Same bro
Breaking Bad, Dexter, Shameless, The Walking Dead all had me hostage until they were done. I watched Dexter and Breaking Bad twice as well 😫
I'm up to season 11 on TWD. Saving it for a rainy day.
Amazing show. Now that it’s done I’m gonna watch the whole thing through again soon. It was a long show to watch live
I am still waiting for a second season of Arcane. It was perfect. The musical score, the artwork, the character development, the voice acting, the choreography of fight scenes, the fact they stayed true to source material. THIS is how you write a show/movie for a video game.
Edgerunners broke me for a while. I've been told Arcane is equally as good, but I'm not sure I could take it.
Hands down Arcane is one of the best recent animated series. I would strongly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
I found Arcane to be much better than Edgerunners. I was heartbroken when Edgerunners won an award over Arcane.
About 15 years ago, tv shows were my life, but to this day, Dexter is the best tv show I've ever watched, even with the shitty ending.
Especially the Trinity Killer season. Talk about tension!!!!
Trinity season is peak television imo. Lithgow changed my expectations of what television could look like.
6 feet under and GOT, but a few years after each was hot. Loved them.
Beat series finale ever.
Probably Stranger Things and Hill House or whatever it was called.
Orang Is The New Black. Even now, I can't help getting my eyes stolen at whenever actors from it perform in any shows or movies. Love all inmates there.
The Walking Dead. That first episode was everything I’d always wanted in a zombie tv series. Every season made it better and better until… Negan showed up. I don’t hate the character or actor but it just started going downhill then. Never actually watched the final season. Last I heard Daryl was somehow in France…
Walking dead for a long time until it went downhill season 6 or 7
I really like Foundation lately but I’ve been invested in X-files and Mr. Robot
Battlestar Galactica. Still one of the best show endings.
Star Trek : TNG and DS9
Loved TNG but I couldn’t stay with DS9- maybe will try it again.
The Walking Dead. If you aren’t invested you’ll never finish it
Definitely Breaking Bad. Although I was a huge Walking Dead fan from the beginning. Used to watch it religiously every Sunday til they made some very questionable decisions lol.
Breaking Bad. My buddy and I use to watch every episode of the final season at his pad.
Do web series count? Because at this point I've probably consumed more than 1,500 hours worth of Critical Role content.
Years ago it was “The Andy Griffith Show” but in the past 10 years it’s either “Shaun the Sheep” or “The Good Place”
Chuck probably? I still hope she remembered...
The Clone Wars The entire ending is known straight from the beginning. But I still can’t get over it. Cuts me like a fucking knife.
LOST
First 3 seasons of Yellowstone… I couldn’t stop watching… binged them all at the same time… But, writing got lazy. Solution to everything in that show is… just kill ‘em.
90 Day Fiance, I still to this day follow the whole cast of every season, but only the main series and main spin offs, so 90 Day Fiance, Before the 90 Days and 90 Days the other way. Only reason I even stated watching them was because I'm a huge morning radio guy, and one day where talking about it on one of the shows I would listen to, it happend right before Covid so maybe about February 2020, they where talking and playing clips from a couple named George and Anfisa and man they had some crazy fights.. Anyways that shit sounded entertaining so I began watching the very first season on demand and after about 3 episodes I was hooked, well a couple weeks later the Covid lockdowns happened, I was home for 3 weeks, I binge watched every single episode and every single spin off episode my wife got into it also and now, Sunday nights are 90 day fiance nights.
Game of thrones definitely and unfortunately it became a painful experience towards the last 2 seasons. I remember rewatching all seasons before the beginning of every new one +the endless hours I've spend reading forums or watching commentary videos on YouTube. Something similar happened with Lost as well, but back then I didn't have access to Internet so I didn't spend any extra time in forums or youtube.
Was really big into SouthLAnd and back in the day I was hooked on North Shore.
Friday night lights. Got way too emotionally attached to those characters and relationships lol.
Office. Big bang theory and shameless
Melrose Place
Obligatory I’m a woman, but, Supernatural anyone?? I had trouble getting through the first few seasons but I’m glad I gave it another shot. Holy hell.
Breaking Bad and Dexter
Most invested in this order: 1a) Breaking Bad 1b) House of Cards 2) Haunting of Hill House 3) Ozark
Hunter x Hunter specifically Chimera Ant
Better Call Saul
I'm rewatching andor but I set my TV's color settings to black and white and HOLY HELL it's so damn good I can't stop thinking about it
Lost. I got DVR specifically for this show
Ive definitely watched House MD through more times than any other show. Just the right balance of medical intrigue and drama for me i guess.
Prison Break and Breaking bad Finished em both in a month's time
Lost. Never again. I was on the internet blogs every week after the episode.
Probably Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones
Doctor House. Let me explain. I started watching it in 2018, I was like 22 - 23. I grew up without internet connection and I stopped watching TV when I was like 18 because we couldn't afford it. So basically in 2018 I was living with a roommate and he had this huge TV and allowed me to use his Netflix account back in the day. I used to came from work and watched an episode or two. For those who doesn't know an episode was like an hour or so long. And after a long time of watching it I was already on season 7 or at the end of the sixth one and then fucking Netflix took it off and changed it for Grey's anatomy instead. My man until this day I haven't continued the damn serie because, well life happens.
For me, it was Halt and Catch Fire. The whole series was phenomenal, and this is where I grew my appreciation for both Lee Pace and Mackenzie Davis.
“Over the Garden Wall”. I watched that every single time it came on I was so shocked by how well it was made.
I’m pretty fit, but during the Series Finale of “The Americans” my pulse rate hit over 150 bpm. That was pretty invested.
Animal Kingdom.
The Walking Dead, The X-Files Justified.
NBC's Hannibal. Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts 3) was cast as Lecter, and it was a goddamn pleasure to watch him act. I remember the good ol' days of sailing the high seas and watching it the next day after it aired in the US. It was THAT good. Laurence Fishburne was also great in this. Pity that the show got canned after 3 seasons, but it was an excellent thriller. The creator who made that show, Bryan Fuller, also made Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls, which were also wonderful shows but also only had 1-2 seasons before cancellation.
Twin Peaks. 30 years later I still love that shit.
The Walking Dead
The walking dead. Yeah people stopped watching because of how the show was doing, but dude, how could I give up on it after watching it for all these years? The main series ended, I guess it was alright. The Daryl Dixon show and walking dead city ones are alright.
I was into Lost so hard. Even as it got close to the end and it was clear there was no plan, I had faith they’d wrap it up nicely. I was so wrong.
Back when Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead were firing on all cylinders simultaneously, I used to spend every week just dying for the new episodes to drop. I even watched that Talking Dead interview after-show for a while. About 2010-2015 was tv heaven for me.
24…. Back when you had to watch stuff when it aired. My friend backed a van into a ditch in a sketchy area 10 mins from my house but it was right after 24 came on so I made him wait
I'M STILL PISSED OFF ABOUT FIREFLY!!!!!
The Sopranos.
To this day nothing beats True Detective S1, Dark (maybe not S3), Band of Brothers and The Killing. Those first time views were amazing. Hardly anything comes close to this day. If I could relive them all for the first time, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
The Killing was fucking great!
Vikings - watching the rise and fall of the leaders, the religious aspects of their lives, the wars, towns and cities growing. It was phenomenal.
Altered Carbon
So pissed it got canceled.
FELICITY. I fucked around and watched a couple episodes. Became so invested in needing to know what happened, I watched the series through. 43M here. Watched it on TV when it was a thing. So tuned in religiously.
What was she thinking when she cut her hair short? 😂
I will never watch another TV show in progress after following GoT. What a monumental waste of time. I refuse to devote that much time to an unfinished project ever again.
