For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.

I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.

His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.

Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.

    Harry Potter, even ignoring how much of a piece of shit the author is the books just aren’t particularly well thought out.

      There are so many simple solutions to the problems presented in the books, but JK is too afraid of challenging her own status quo.

      I agree. To be fair though the books have A LOT of extra shit that make the movies actually make sense.
