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?

Did anyone actually like that though? I thought that was a meme because of how bad it was. I really don't know, I never saw it.

The memes were making fun of the fact that no one had seen it, somehow Warner thought that re-releasing the film would make the memers go to see it, but that would have gone against the point of the meme

No one liked it. But I only watched it because of all the memes.

Like there had to be something at least worth making fun of. Nope. It just kinda sucked till I turned it off.

That's why the memes were made.

No one had asked for a Morbius movie, no one wanted a Morbius movie.
