Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.

    Chernobyl… didnt get past 1st episode. Feels like some weird documentary, my monkey brain didnt feel the dopamine so I had to click the X in the corner

    Succession… yeah idk whats going on, rich dudes being in parties all the time, meetings, and of course, drugs??? Okay but like no action, lame.

    Mr Robot. This is just depression and drugs and I dont even know what the plan is most of the time. Like okay dude pulls up to a random “hacker base” then like he does drugs while hacking some corporate as a distraction for his other hacker friends or… something… what? I have no idea what happened. Did they pull a “Corporate Dystopia” filter over the show? I dont need more depression in my escapism.

      Mr robot is about a mentally ill hacker and you find out his intentions over time, he has split personalities / sees people who arent really there

      Succession is a great show if you love to pick apart dialogue and character dynamics, but it’s one of the worst shows to watch if you’re looking for any type of visible action lol

      I agree on two of those as indicated by my other comment, but I want to suggest you watch one more episode of Chernobyl; Episode 2 is where the overarching theme is established while the first is mainly character intro and familiarization with the fact that this happened at Chernobyl.

      Yes, it’s documentary-ish, but it’s got an interesting drama angle with some tense moments too.

      If it’s not for you, I don’t blame you, I just recommend giving it an honest shot for one more episode.

      I also couldn’t get past the first episode of Chernobyl. I couldn’t get over these Russian characters with British accents. I know it’s supposed to be great and I may go back to it sometime…
