I've found that I really don't like mafia/mobster/cartel movies or TV shows.  I can't find any reason to want to watch these characters interact, I pretty much just want them all dead from the opening moments.  I don't even bother to torture myself with these shows anymore.

Thanks for bumping this thread... Was just thinking about another thing.

Not so much a TV "show" as it is a competition series, but have any other golfers been watching the TGL thing? It's a little ridiculous, being simulator golf on TV, but it's a fun time-waster compared to much of anything else on TV...

I'll watch it.
Don't know if it is "live" or not, but it's a sports competition
it's kinda real

That's where SFIrish is: these are horrible people, why would I watch a show/movie when I don't like any of them?
I find the well-made show about shades of gray and moral conundrums worth the watch. But it has to be well made.
On the other hand, I'm tiring of war movies. Inevitably I end up watching the big ones, but I've been enjoying them less and less. As noted on that other thread, Masters of the Air bored me. 1917 and the new All Quiet on the Western Front are exceptions. They were excellent. Dunkirk was really well done, but I'm not happier that I watched it.

I've gotten completely sucked into Severance. It's so damned weird. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be like Lost. That show got too lost in its own lore and history and kind of "lost" its way. There's a fine line between fun and frustrating when it comes to these types of shows.


We started it after it was done.  I cant imagine watching it in real time.  Its like Mad Men.  It was great when we were binging it, but when you watch it in real time, there are whole episodes where nothing happens

My wife is that way.  She either needs to root for someone, or root for someone to redeem themselves.  We never got through Breaking Bad, because she hated everybody

Yeah I can't watch Breaking Bad.  A couple episodes in, and I wanted everyone to die.

Same here. I saw Poltergeist when I was seven and it scared the bejeezus out of me. I've never seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, or Friday the 13th movies and never will. I'm a big baby when it comes to horror movies and I don't care who knows it.

For me I don't know that I have any particular "fear" of horror movies, but I also have no real interest in, or enjoyment of, that genre.

The slasher movies don't make much of an impression on me, but the creepy spooky ones dealing with ghosts, demons, or the occult-- those can get to me.  Especially when you see, like, young kids that are ghosts and maybe twins and if there's any creepy ghost kids singing in minor keys, well, my eyes might be closed at that point.

There are very, very few that are well done.  It's a trash genre, mostly for young women.  They seem to love them.

I just don't enjoy the slasher ones, but the creepy ones, I love.  I find myself enjoying a great deal of "bad" ones in that genre.  If the Church is involved in the plot, I probably loved it

Yeah, pretty much the same here.  Demons, ancient spirits with grudges, exorcisms, haunted houses, that kind of stuff I can really enjoy.  My daughter really loves them so it gives us something in common to watch and talk about.

I liked the series The Haunting of Hill House, that was pretty creepy.  And I tend to like the others that are similar to it.
