When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

    Most of the “current” ones because I have not really watched TV for years. I see a lot of stuff on social media about them which is the only way I know that they exist.

    I hate to admit it because there’s no real reason but I have never seen The Godfather. I’ve gone almost 50 years and still haven’t sat down to watch it, or the sequels. I want to I just keep forgetting to.

    Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Office, Parks and Rec

    I don’t have anything against them, I’m sure they’re all fine, I’ve just never had to interest in watching them.

    Name a popular live action show from the past maybe close to a decade or sooner that aired in America and I probably have not seen it. Or if I have, it’s because my parents watch it and I happen to be in the area for a little bit.

      Just finished it last week. Season 1 was decent, 2 and 3 I was really wondering why everyone had talked up the show so much, but season 4 is where I felt it got real. Quality TV, I do recommend, but I do think it’s a bit overhyped.

        I work in logistics and transportation so I always enjoyed season 2. Especially what McNulty does in episode 1.

        It is an eye opening show in that you can see how each part of crime affects the community. Local political corruption, media corporatization, defunded inner city schools, international sex and drug trade, they all lead to the way society works for the rich and fuck everyone else raw.

      I started watching this in 2022. Just picked it up again last november, I like the show but it’s too heavy for me. I need a break after a couple of episodes. I like it enough to pick it up again but it really feels heavy for me.

    Godfather, Shawshank, lotr, the wire, six feet under, I’m sure there’s a lot more. I enjoy watching such epic films for the first time late on. Just having the time to approach them whenever I want is nice

      You don’t need to rush LotR or Shawshank, they will still be excellent whenever you get to them.

    Game of Thrones. I once started episode 1 but then had to interrupt and go somewhere and found it too boring to give it another try at first. Then the entire internet was full with with GoT and spoilers for it so I was too annoyed to try it again

    I can’t think of too many I haven’t watched at all. Plenty I have seen a few episodes from and just didn’t get into. Although, many of these I should give another go because they, supposedly, got better later on. Such as The Expanse and Star Trek: Picard.

    GOT I didn’t get into right away because, at the time it came out, I didn’t know shit about the book series and the ads made it look like another HBO show going at the time I was watching called Rome, but with a medieval Europe style instead of the Roman stuff so I was like “I don’t really want to watch two historical fictions at once when this one is already hella dense.” Had I known it was a fantasy, with magic and shit, I would have started it much sooner.

    Most of I haven’t seen a single episode of is before my time. Like Dallas or My Mother the Car (was that one even popular or just really stupid? 🤔) Although I have never seen The Wire or 24 nor have I known a single person IRL who liked them.

    I consume media like a fiend. Ever since I discovered piracy as a lad, there’s nothing out of reach to at least check out.

    Many of them, but one show that people sometimes nag me about is “Friends”. Not going to watch it either, doesn’t seem even remotely worth my time.
