We also added responses from this thread.
1. Overrated: Euphoria
Byron Cohen / FX / Courtesy: Everett Collection“You’re the Worst changed my life. I genuinely feel like I learned more about my emotional health from this show. I finished it and immediately wanted to restart it.”
–u/HaydenScramble
3. Overrated: The Big Bang Theory
Sonja Flemming / CBS / courtesy Everett Collection“It was OK when it started, but it didn’t take long to devolve into standard nerd-bashing.”
—u/ImALittleCrackpot
“I will always maintain the first two seasons are pretty good, the following two are alright, and everything after is hot garbage. The show used to have things resembling jokes and — not to be a gatekeeper — it would reference things that were actually nerdy that were relatively untouched by mainstream geek culture. Then it just turned into a flaming mound of reaction gags, cringy pop culture references, and mean-spirited barbs.”
—u/AmarantCoral
4. Underrated: Better Off Ted
Craig Sjodin / ABC / Courtesy: Everett Collection“The racism episode is one of the best things on TV. The rest of the show is amazing, too, but that was really the peak of it.”
—u/TheNerdChaplain
“Just rewatched that recently. In my opinion, one of the best TV comedies of all time.”
—u/ackillesBAC
5. Overrated: Friends
Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection“I do not understand the obsession with Friends. It’s not bad. But people rave about it.”
—u/lawlpony
“I’ve tried to watch it so many times because everybody talks about how hilarious and great it is, but I just find it so painfully unfunny. Like, I genuinely don’t understand all the love it gets because, to me, it’s just so bad.”
—u/TheGrayFox_
6. Underrated: Warrior
David Bloomer / Cinemax / Courtesy: Everett Collection“I hadn’t heard a thing about this show and stumbled upon it by accident. It’s set in San Francisco in the 1870s with Chinese gangs and the Irish waging war against each other. It’s based on Bruce Lee’s writings. It’s like Deadwood meets Tarantino. It’s been the best thing I’ve watched since Breaking Bad.”
—u/hapcat1999
“It grabbed me from the first scene. Immediately one of my favorite shows.”
—u/SV650rider
7. Overrated: Wednesday
Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection“The show itself was meh, but Jenna Ortega’s acting was incredible. I think without her, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good.”
—u/tarheel_204
8. Underrated: Happy Endings
Mitch Haddad / ABC / Courtesy: Everett Collection“I wish this show was more popular so i could say ‘Roof stoof’ and ‘Sloppy yabbos’ without getting confused looks. The Bro Code episode is also ripe for memes.”
—u/JellySalmon
“Anyone who likes New Girl should watch this.”
—u/mcon96
9. Overrated: Grey’s Anatomy
Ron Tom / ABC / Courtesy: Everett“I know many people who love this show, but all I see every time I try to give it a chance is actors crying to popular music.”
—u/Citizen_Kong
“Emotional Blackmail: The TV Show.”
—u/backtowhereibegan
10. Underrated: Patriot
Elizabeth Morris / Amazon / Courtesy: Everett Collection“All I can think of this show is that it’s a 007 if it was made by hipsters. (I’m not being sarcastic, I enjoyed it a lot).”
—u/Puzzled-Journalist-4
“I call it Wes Anderson making a Bourne movie.”
—u/Walter-MarkItZero
11. Overrated: How I Met Your Mother
Cbs / ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection“Apart from Barney – who, after the first three seasons, became predictive and boring, too – the whole show is, at most, mediocre.”
—u/ilegal89
12. Underrated: Party Down
Clifton Prescod / Starz! / Courtesy Everett Collection“This show has the perfect plot device. Same characters moving through new stories each episode while still living their own. Such a stacked cast, too.”
—u/celluloid-hero
13. Overrated: The Walking Dead
AMC / Via youtube.com“Season 1 was good. The rest was garbage.”
—u/letsjakeonit
“I LOVED the comics. The show somehow made zombies boring.”
—u/Horacevonsnot
14. Underrated: Pushing Daisies
Adam Taylor / ABC / courtesy Everett Collection“One of my all-time favorites. An absolute masterpiece.”
—u/Grose040791
“Agreed! Absolutely love this show, and I am still heartbroken that it was cancelled too early.”
—u/_sunshine707
15. Overrated: Stranger Things
Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection“Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the show, but you can agree it is a bit overrated now.”
—u/Reecee-Who
16. Underrated: Detroiters
Comedy Central / Courtesy: Everett Collection“I love how light the show is, but it still has good storylines. I wish it was still going.”
—u/soup4breakfast
17. Overrated: This Is Us
Ron Batzdorff / NBC / courtesy Everett Collection“I watched the first season of This Is Us after hearing the constant ‘It’s sooo good!’ blathering at work. I found it so emotionally manipulative I couldn’t continue watching. It felt like the plot was entirely constructed to result in heartbreaking moments. Whether those moments made sense as part of a larger plot or played a role in character development seemed irrelevant.”
—u/starkblast_19
18. And finally, underrated: Halt and Catch Fire
Tina Rowden / AMC / courtesy Everett Collection“I think it is a perfect show, everything from the acting, to the writing, to the score— just so good. And each season there are BIG changes, and the characters actually grow. I was so sad when I finished the show but deeply satisfied at the same time. Felt like I was saying goodbye to friends I’d been lucky to know.”
—u/bibliographyfreak
“Dude, sometimes I want to stand on the corner with a megaphone and just yell at people to go watch Halt and Catch Fire.”
—u/Lando241
