I should look into this, I'm excellent at taming wild horses. The trick is to hold the left joystick in a down and slightly to the right position the entire time, while button mashing the Calm option. Never failed with this method.

I actually used it and started watching two new shows because of it. They were shows I had heard of but probably wasn't going to try, but they came up on random and the first couple of minutes really pulled me in. But this was many months ago and I hadn't really used the feature since. I forgot that it existed.

It really was a difficult show to watch. Interesting stories and characters, but I really had to force myself to finish out the series, it felt like a depressing slog. Obviously the subject matter is not meant to be light and cheery, but it's not great when you're dreading each new episode...

I just discovered this show as well a couple of months ago, and caught up really quickly. It's just so damn funny, one of the best sitcoms in many years. I had never heard of the movie (still haven't seen it) so I can't really compare there, but the show is really something special.
