Frankly, I can only think of shows that got worse.
- The Witcher
- Westworld
- Carnival Row (LOL)
- Game of Thrones (no one even expected good past season 7, they just wanted another two good battle scenes like season 6, and satisfying conclusions to the characters they liked)
Now a lot of people are coping that Netflix Avatar, which has been greenlit for 2 more seasons, will listen to feedback and polish out the rough edges, which is obviously not likely.
Maybe it’s naive, but I think when a show obviously doesn’t work for nearly all viewers, or people consistently make very easily articulate criticisms, you’d try and address it.
it’s hard to fathom putting so much working into making a TV show and then not also being extremely invested in what people are saying about it, but most seem either uninterested or contemptuous of it all, and these are hardly auteur projects.–
Hoping the Lord of the Rings show can do something because that first season was God awful.
Really can’t imagine it will tho
you couldn’t make me not enjoy something that upset so many people, I kept telling dorks online that of course it’s different from the written canon, this show is fun, LotR isn’t supposed to be fun :)
Yeah, it’s definitely fodder for some trolling.
I followed some LOTR YouTubers, and I got enjoyment from watching them half-heartedly pretending to like it.
One of them even made a new channel just so he could talk about Andor lmao. Imagine getting the first LOTR project in decades and then jumping ship to a new franchise because it just sucks so bad lmao
