ya, but it was her day off, and she wanted to watch it. Though she started it when I mowed my lawn so I got out of watching the first 2. She never saw the trailer, so she was quite surprised when

I agree, I wish they kept that out. But to be fair it was one of the more interesting things to happen, it's a dialog heavy show and they aren't marketing it that way so much.

So I've only watched the first episode and I'm interested. I'll be back when I've watch the first season. I should be able to watch it this week.

I'm beginning to think modern tv just isn't for me.

You guys need to stop over analyzing things, would that fight not work irl, sure, but that's why this is a TV show, and a number of them tend to be hyper-realistic.

I don't.  You've miscontrued my response.

I think Human.Online was agreeing that TV wasn't for trag3dy

 

My wife's the same. She made a comment about something in Game of Thrones and how that wouldn't have happened IRL, but the dragons and the walking dead are fine :P

Yeah, it's weird how some people will point out minor things, but the big stuff, no problem!

We overlook the big stuff because it's a fantasy show after all. But that doesn't mean some things wouldn't, shouldn't, or can't mirror reality.

 

I'm just... I don't know. I lose interest in these shows so quickly now and I can't quite pin my finger on why. The last show I really enjoyed was 24.

I'm finding the same with quite a few shows too, tbh... It's a rare show that grabs me from start to finish these days, and for all The Boys is a very enjoyable show... I'm starting to get Superhero fatigue...

You both sound like my wife.

 

When she watches a show, she over analyses things and likes to find the plot holes and the bits that are unrealistic. For me, it's just a form of entertainment and unless something is glaringly obvious, it'll just go straight over my head. I watch a film/TV show to lose myself, so I just enjoy it at face value. 

 

It's not a bad thing how you feel and FFM, I'm just assuming that fatigue you're feeling is for similar reason.

I think it's the opposite. Shows don't give me enough to think about.

Oh, I don't generally over-analyse stuff.  I know I'm watching something unrealistic anyway so I ignore the little things like that.  I'm just finding myself more and more going back to 20+ year old shows and rewatching those for preference.  Recently, I've just started watching old cop shows like Hill Street Blues...
