There was a Netflix show called Drifting Dragons I started on. Looks super nice, seems decently written. Its about a crewed ship that goes around hunting and killing dragons for their meat and other bits to sell and eat.

As I'm watching it by about episode 3 I was like... wait a minute, these motherfuckers made whalehunting propaganda and put a thick layer of fantasy anime paint on it. Dropped it right there.

Edit: FWIW I came to the propaganda conclusion a lot faster with Gate (tldr fantasy warp gate opens in Japan. JSDF blows up dragons with fighter jets) but I still watched clips of the fights cuz that shit was funny as fuck.

JSDF blows up dragons with fighter jets

When did they make Drakengard a TV show?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Not as good as Drakengaard (owing to the aforementioned propaganda feel) but nonetheless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm3bGKMYM_w

I stopped watching Avatar the last airbender on Netflix after 1 episode, they did the cartoon sooo dirty that it felt disrespectful to the source material. Almost as bad as the movie (tho not quite as egregious).

I can't watch anything with Jason Sudeikis. Except the IASP episode because they try to boot him out of a moving car.

I couldn't really even tell you why.

Have you seen Ted Lasso? Best show with him in it hands down

Ugh

Is that a no? Edit: well fuck me I guess? Just asking about a good show and if you had dropped it/even tried watching it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Could it be "We're the Millers", his character had an annoying personality there.

I loved Ted Lasso meanwhile

Supernatural in like s6-7. It became completely stakeless when death didn't matter and it was all just such shitty writing, like a bad soap opera.
