For me, 2 things come to mind; Berserk & the Long Walk
Berserk may sound controversial, but I just didn’t have a good time watching the 90’s anime. I felt angry while watching it. I just didn’t like the characters for how dickish they were (especially Guts & Casica) and the setting was too miserable for me. And some of you may go, “but the comic is 10x better” (I know it’s manga, I’m just calling a comic to piss of people) I also just don’t like dark fantasy in general, since they’re edgy, pretentious, and worst of all… they’re ugly. There’s a reason why I never played the Dark Souls games, outside of the difficulty
The Long Walk movie is really well made movie with amazing acting. But man was it a miserable movie to go through. Seeing all those kids getting shot by soldiers for being slower was painful to watch.
Side note: there’s a lot of critically acclaimed stuff I like (Cowboy Bebop & the Dark Knight). It’s just that entertainment is so subjective that it’s not mutually exclusive to writing.
supernatural i never watched it when it first came out, like only like during the end of the pandemic i was binging on the clips. S1-S5 were the best, since its by kripke. but 6-15 were just cringey because its also gay/fiction by the fans.
ISAIP after season 12, were wierd and off putting, with mac roid use and him trying to defend it for some reason as a secret knowledge only he knows,(its not a secret people in hollywood are taking peds to make them look buff), and stretching his face to look younger.
1season and 2 were a really god monster of the week hunting show. Downhill from there but still watchable
