What show did you watch because of memes but were dissappointed? (lemmy.ml)

On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’

Shows like:

Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd

I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable.

However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch?

Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?

Out of curiosity, specify which Avatar

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I also watched The Legend of Korra, which was also ok but not as good as the first show.

Avatar is generally better if you watch it as a kid and come back to it. Can't say the same for Korra as I've never watched it tho

TLA set the bar and Korra cant come close to that tbh. Korra is a good show but not as good as TLA.
