Its infuriating and has deterred me from watching it even though I probably would just to see how it is. The Japanese version has their voice actors actually doing the voices which presents the awkward position of watching it with subtitles on and trying to pretend I'm listening to someone speak Italian when I know it's weebanese.
I watched it with a little kid and I was still like "WHY THE FU- I'm sorry. Why the fuck aren't they doing the fucking voices?"
I've been considering starting it too. But I heard it's a long ass series to get invested in for no payoff. Like isn't the finale famously bad? I just remember sometimes I'd catch parts of it when it was on while I was going to bed when I only had a couple channels and it always seemed kind of cool even though I had no idea what was going on. And Big Jay Oakerson's in it.
It has maybe the worst final season of any show I can think of off the top of my head. And at 120 episodes it's a long time getting there.
I liked the first five seasons, as ridiculous as they were. It felt like they were building a whole mythology that would somehow pay off in the end. Then season six began, and it was a tide of cheap gimmicks, tearjerking faggotry, and that insufferable Jacob nonsense. A few episodes in, it was totally obvious that they weren't building toward anything, and had no idea how to wrap it up. And the finale was an enormous piece of shit, where they actually resorted to using a dog to tug at the ol' heartstrings. They played everyone for saps.
I also did attempt to watch Wednesday. I thought it was gay, but it's not for me. I'm absolutely gay for The Addams Family. From the old New Yorker comics to the sitcom to the movies to the low budget Canadian series and they finally lost me at that newer animated one. I still think that every iteration of The Addam's Family has been pretty perfect for what they were going for in the era they were going for it. I also think Luis Guzman is perfect casting for Gomez because he looks exactly like the Gomez that Charles Addams drew.
Lots of shows are like that. Who really talks about Friends anymore? Seinfeld? MASH? Honeymooners? These shows pretty much all die the second that they are off air. Pop culture is about being huge for a minute then being dead forever.
All of the writers are part of that JJ Abrams kike group. So they fail upwards eternally.
I disagree with your first point. I listen to lots of podcasts that reference old sitcoms from time to time but nobody ever talks about Lost. Hell, we talk about each of those TV shows on the forum at least once a month. Lost had the greatest cultural relevancy drop of any television show of the last twenty-five years.
Unless your VPN is free then you are not getting everything "for free". The cost and ease of streaming or watching stuff on Bluray is easier than piracy at this point as well. Plus you get everything right when it airs without worry of some dogshit pirate stream dying or having to wait for a scene release.
Lost is one of the greats, fuck are you on about.
It's an amazing show and the finale is only thought to be bad by retards who didn't understand it and think that the island was pugatory even though it's explicitly said in the finale that it's not. The finale achieved emotional payoffs that I have never seen another show pull off.
I hear it brought up all the time.
Friends is still enourmous, I think it's usually in the top charts for most streamed shows. Seinfeld is also still big.
Dark is a Netflix Original and it's one of the best shows of the 2010s and is often ranked as one of the best shows ever made. Incredibly well written and directed and very complex to the point that some started having to take notes when watching it. Best time travel story that's ever been made.
