Unpopular TV opinions

Post by E.H. Ruddock »

Bryan Cranston's best role was not Breaking Bad, it was Malcolm in the Middle.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That wasn't a big enough role, though. Lazy opinion

Cranston’s range is amazing.

Hal was the best.

Actually I haven’t watched it since the 90s. Probably a premature take on my part.

I remember really liking that Sandhill crane episode.

King of the Hill is hilarious. Like, seriously, it is intensely funny. Especially the early episodes. I’ve been rewatching a bunch of episodes on Hulu lately.

I think trag hit the mark. I’m expecting it to be “funny” but it’s really something else. I certainly wouldn’t call it “hilarious” or “intensely” anything.

King of the Hill is beloved among people who care about animated series.

And another reason those same people loathe Seth MacFarlane and the dreck he brings to TV.

Ditto. I just started it from the beginning and there are quite a few early ones I’ve never seen.

True Detective's first season is overrated and the season finale was just horrible.
