One fan says, “It was a modern spin on the Odd Couple and Id vs. Ego. It was sophomoric and low-brow but still funny and clever.” Unfortunately, things went downhill in the last seasons.

The show looks and sounds great, but the writing stinks,” complains a fan. Another user notes, “Season 1 had some claim showing the darker side of modern teenagehood. Season 2 was just silly.” Besides, the sex scenes are uncomfortable for some users, and they find drug use triggering.  

A different commentator who thinks the show is overrated states, “People are afraid to say how shitty it is for fear of being ejected from the cool kids’ table.”

“It’s just a medical drama with no special characters,” a user points out. Plus, the script lacks creativity and character development since it started as a medical drama and then turned into a soap opera.

As one of the most-watched sitcom shows, Friends received praise during and after its run. However, some Reddit users find it terrible, especially without the laugh track.

According to one commentator, “It (Friends) is good sometimes, but people act like it’s the greatest ever.” Besides, “It programs people to laugh at the most mundane comments or situations,” adds another commentator. 

The Walking Dead

Many Reddit users feel The Walking Dead’s first four seasons were incredible, but seasons 5 to 7 were “garbage.” One frustrated fan says, “The show somehow made zombies boring.” It gets to a point where the show revolves around endless walking, zombies, and unnecessary drama. 

How I Met Your Mother
