1st season of True Detective is the best show of all time - imo
...and the second season one of the worst.
They third tried hard to redeem itself but went too slow and serious.
Is that code for no Alexandra Daddario?
Season 2 was good but Season 1 was so good it was going to be hard to follow. Season 3 fell in between in my ratings. What I liked about this series is that each season has its own identity.

British gameshows with comedians on them generally add up to way less than the sum of their parts.
8 Out of 10 Cats has Rachel Riley to rescue the show when the comedians get a bit tedious. Used to enjoy Pointless

Popular doesn't equal good.
Rolling Stone magazine recently released their Top 100 TV shows. The list includes series and talk shows, and is US-centric. Like all polls, I don't take these too seriously.
The Top 10 was:
- The Sopranos
- The Simpsons
- Breaking Bad
- The Wire
- Fleabag
- Seinfeld
- Mad Men
- Cheers
- Atlanta
- The Mary Tyler Moore Show
The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time
The definitive ranking of the 100 best shows in TV history, as determined by a poll of actors, producers, showrunners, critics, and the staff of Rolling Stone.
Thought Homeland and Handmaids Tale would have been in there unless I scrolled too quick and missed.

Unpopular opinion: Seinfeld.
Kramer, Kramer shits me.
George and Newman had riveting machismo on a string but Jerry and Elaine were mostly just irritating. -

Found Newman annoying and unfunny.
Never bought into his diabolical persona
Just seemed like an overacting fat man. -

There should be a rule that if someone mentions in this thread something or someone they hate, that a smartarse (trademark @Bones) doesn't post that very thing/someone...

I'd agree people look too much into Matrix these days, but at the time I thought it was excellent and original.
No.
Yes.
Yes.
Haven't watched them.
Can be.

If you didn't get joy from headbanging Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World in the 90s then you missed a good time.
I'm not a huge fan but can appreciate his voice and their unique songs.

Matrix: First Matrix is great, sequels not so much.
Squid Game: was fun.
Dredd: Yes. But don't think it's a hot take or unpopular opinion.
Queen: Nope. I'd swap in Fleetwood Mac as I personally do not like their music.
Ace Ventura: Nope.
Cats: Nope.
Dogs: When they are it's usually the fault of their owners. -

Matrix 1 is incredible.
Squid Game was entertaining, but the acting could be laughably bad. The camp American rich dudes were pathetic, both as a storyline and performance.
Never seen Dredd
AV 1 is great. AV2 ok only.
Cats and Dogs both great, I've never understood people who feel they have to choose one against the other (noting you're not doing that)
