Watched the first episode of a highly regarded television show that people I know and like thought was great and I was absolutely fucking bored with it, which goes to show that either individual tastes are ultimately idiosyncratic, or that all my friends and at least some television critic have shit taste in TV, honestly it's a coin flip which it is
@scalzi I don't think most people generally distinguish between their own ability to enjoy what's put in front of them and what's well crafted to be more easily enjoyed. Honestly I prefer to find a show starkly dull, so I can drop it instead of wastrng hours trying to tease out enough I like not to regret starting it.
