For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
Hmm. I don’t know how I would feel if a person told me they found the premise of The Wire uninteresting… it’s a deep look at poverty, political corruption, black American life in inner city Baltimore, commentary on police and our justice system etc etc etc… there’s a lot to chew on, unless you came from the same background as the characters idk how a person could find the premise boring intellectually, and even then I’d still be surprised. The pacing however… yeah season one is slow
While I personally liked the show, it is heavy. Not everyone likes watching shows about serious topics.
