I really disliked Season 3, and especially what they did to Hughie for no reason other than to manufacture dumb relationship drama. Felt like a plotline out of a CW show or something. I really disliked how when people pointed some of these flaws out, Kripke went on a Twitter rant about how anyone who dared criticize his writing is obviously just an incel or a misogynist.

I was never much of a fan of Supernatural or the writing there, so I was surprised when the first two seasons of The Boys were so solid. Now I'm starting to see those same cheesy, completely manufactured plot choices pop up in this series as well. I'm still probably going to check out Season 4, but my expectations are pretty low, and if it turns into more dumb, manufactured relationship drama I'll probably give up on it entirely. Meanwhile this spin off feels like the absolute worst parts of The Boys personified.

That isn't how neilsen ratings work, dingus. Those numbers aren't including people watching on HBO max or other non-TV devices.

Plus, all the sanctimonious pearl clutching and tongue clucking in the comments makes people want to watch it out of spite. Sure had that effect on me. If there's one thing that pisses most people who aren't terminally online off, it's high horse moralizing from people on the internet.

See: pretty much any internet "boycott" ever.

Anything network TV. Network TV hasn't put out a single series worth wasting time on since the days of Community.

I'm very much a TV snob and if it ain't prestige TV then it ain't worth my time.

I stopped watching walking dead after season 3 because it had gotten so stale and bad, and I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. It seems too batshit crazy to possibly be real, and yet...

AMC lost BB/BCS and is now desperately clinging to the last relevant IP they have left. They're going to ride this fucker until the sun engulfs the earth.

This is why BB slightly edges it out for me. Also BCS. I consider BCS to be as good as BB, and it's mostly the same crew of writers, so as far as I'm concerned BB is actually an 11 season series, and all 11 seasons are fucking incredible.

The wire is amazing but it only managed 4 seasons before it took a dip. BB ran 11 seasons and never dipped once. They're both the top two series of all time in my book, but BB/BCS gets the #1 spot for me because of just how consistently amazing it was.
