I feel like this question comes up several times a year. Why don't we call it like it is-not overrated-but shows that get a lot of buzz, but you think is crap. And have you actually tried to watch an episode, or are you basing it solely on the enormous amount of money, er, promos the network is willing to shell out? Mine would be Kartrashians, & any Teen mom crap. But obviously someone is watching since these are still on. Everyone knows that reality crap is... crap. No point in stating the obvious. |

I know that dude has a funny voice but I haven't watched an episode since I avoid the Networks so can't comment. |

I get why Breaking Bad is great even if I'm not into it. My issue with overrated shows is the notion that the praise is sincere. For example, what makes Jessica Jones great? Someone could come back & say BB was terrible, & they cannot understand why it got the praise it did. It basically comes down to what you personally like or don't like. What you are looking for in a tv series. Not necessarily that something really is overrated. For me I like This is Us. But I know there are more than enough people out there who think it's overrated. |

Unfortunately I know too many who would disagree with you. There are some who prefer those over something that makes you think. That's why I posed the question, because the term overrated comes down to taste in programming more than actual quality of programming. And it shouldn't. |

You're welcome to start a thread discussing which reality show is the worst I suppose. I couldn't have less interest myself. |

I’ve been having a hard time with Marvel shows lately but I don’t know how overrated they are. People liked Punisher but I feel like people I know didn’t care for Iron Fist or the Defenders all that much. Lots grown on Luke Cage and Jones is kind of polarizing. Daredevil is the only one I’d say is rated high by everyone I know who watches it.
Not sure what critics say but they never matter anyhow.

American Horror Story. I had to force myself to finish the first season. It's not scary and the story makes zero sense.

The original "Star Trek". I thought it tried too hard.

My go to is always The Walking Dead. However I'm not sure anymore as it seems like a lot of people are starting to realize how bad it is and are just watching it out of habit compared to being actually entertained by it. If I remember right this past season (not sure if it's over or not yet) had one of it's lowest ratings. Pretty sure I read that or saw that somewhere. So I'm not sure if it really qualifies as over rated anymore.
I will agree on Stranger Things though. I watched S1 because so many people were talking about it so I wanted to be apart of the conversation. I legit stopped watching it after the 2nd to last episode. I just couldn't even bring myself to finish the season finale I found it so boring. I hated all the characters too.
