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.

    Avatar the last airbender.

    Literally the only thing interesting is the serial reincarnation of the Avatar, the disability representation in Toph, and that weird demigod of misfortune people call the cabbage merchant.

    Literally everything else sucks. The graphics are meh, the lore is forgettable, the magic system is somehow both overly complicated and restrictive, the characters are cringy and uncomfortable, Aang’s pacifism is infuriating, and the plot even more so.

    Personally, the James Cameron movie is far superior. Not because of its characters or story. God no. But its worldbuilding is far superior. Eywa and the neural queues the Na’vi and the other local flora and fauna have has been a genuine inspiration to so many of my world building projects its crazy.

    The visuals are crazy impressive too for the time period, and those floating mountains are just gorgeous.

    Really, ATLA sucks in comparison, and I hate it when people slander the true Avatar just to push up their own cringy mess.
