People Divulge Which Films Or TV Shows They Absolutely Refuse To Watch

We are inundated with so much "entertainment" content these days.

The list of what I refuse to waste time on long outweighs the stuff I can't wait to see.

Some of these shows look like a mess.

Redditor RepairOdd2957 wanted to hear about what we're avoiding in film and television and why? They asked:

"What's one show/movie that you just refuse to watch, no matter how popular it is and why?"

I avoid most tv. Especially if it's a reality thing. And I'm at peace in that life choice.

"50 shades of grey (cause it’s terrible)."

"I read the first book knowing it was terrible but I just had to 'experience"'it. However, I HIGHLY recommend this blog, it's so funny and I'm not ashamed to say I read every single post : https://redlemonade.blogspot.com/p/fifty-shades-of-tedious-f*ckery.html"

Gross...

"The Bachelor."

Nubianfromthenine

"And the Bachelorette. It all feels gross."

ConnieLingus24

"It is gross. I still can’t believe someone pitched that idea and everyone in the room was like 'that sounds awesome!' Then they aired it and waaaaaaay too many people said 'this is awesome!' Meanwhile I’m feeling like the crazy one for thinking it’s gross."

No K!

"Keeping up with the Kardashians. There's no reason to watch it."

The_Young_Trader

"I'm proud of having never seen as much as ten consecutive seconds of anything K*rdashian. That was everywhere a few years ago, but I got to be very fast at closing browser tabs or changing the channel quickly whenever it showed up."

"Grey's Anatomy. I don't need to see 18 seasons of people in a hospital."

I do love Grey's. So rethink avoiding this one.

"Tiger King. I don't care."

"I sat down to watch it at the height of its popularity. Five minutes in, the power went out and so I took it as a sign from the universe to just not continue."

"Thirteen Reasons Why. I work in mental health, and this show should never have been created."

Spartanhalforc

"I didn't watch all of it. I remember a scene in which Clay says 'I cost a girl her life because I was afraid to love her.' That disturbed me. As if the suicide was partially his fault because they didn't become a couple on her schedule. Nobody is required to date someone at the time that the other person wants it."

REDDIT

"The idea of blaming someone for your suicide-- and taking such extra measures to make sure that they know it's their fault-- is so toxic. It never sat right with me, both while reading the book and watching."

Too Cruel

"90 day fiancé. It just sounds like a really cruel premise and I feel bad for the people who come from another country to marry someone just to end up hating them or realizing they’re not compatible."

carissadraws

"Season one was really interesting and felt way more like a good look at the process of the fiancé visa. Then it got more focused on the drama then by season… 4 it just started fully exploiting people and got too uncomfortable to watch."

Be Quiet!

"The Masked Singer. Just… no."

Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

"The kid I nanny used to watch it and she would tel me about it and bee like 'guess who the bee was?!?! DONNY OSMOMD!' And have absolutely no ducking clue who Donny Osmomd was because she was 8. It was hilarious honestly."

somechild

"When I saw that Rudy Giuliani was one of the singers I wondered who did the singing for him because I can't imagine him having a good singing voice."

I'm going slow...

"The Fast and the Furious. I just don't care about cars going vroom vroom."

Beginning-Bed9364

"The first few are pretty decent heist movies but they get ridiculous, the latest one they strap a car to an icbm and go to space in diving gear. That’s not even the dumbest scene."

Bored Now

"The Walking Dead, I’m just really tired of zombie stuff, there was a while where everything had zombies in it and it was just super overused and talking to the fans of the show it’s basically, find base, get locked in, have fight with people or zombies and have to find more home."

Well I have successfully avoided most of this mess. Good on me.

Stephen Colbert Reveals Date Of His Final 'Late Show' Episode In Poignant Interview: 'It Feels Real Now'

Yesterday, Seth Meyers welcomed his Strike Force Five podcast buddy Stephen Colbert to Late Night, marking a rare and unexpectedly emotional reunion between the two late-night hosts.

Colbert hadn’t appeared on Meyers’ NBC show in more than 10 years, making the sit-down feel less like press and more like a warm check-in between old friends—just with cameras rolling and the FCC watching… allegedly, of course.

Fans Up In Arms After Harry Styles Concert Tickets Are Already Reselling For Bonkers Price

Fans have been essentially grieving for the past three years while Harry Styles took a much-needed break from touring, opting instead to enjoy other experiences—like accidentally seeing Pope Leo's conclave election.

The pop singer revealed last week that he's planning to tour after he releases his fourth album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally,” in March. Styles will travel to Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, Melbourne and Sydney, and will also play 30 shows as part of a residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

MAGA Actor Dean Cain Slammed After Swooping In To Defend ICE Shooting Of Alex Pretti

MAGA actor Dean Cain, best known for his starring role as the titular superhero in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was slammed after speaking to TMZ to defend ICE after agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.

Gay Olympian Gus Kenworthy Reveals His Surprising Celebrity Parallel To 'Heated Rivalry'

The characters of Heated Rivalry have inspired thirst-trap TikToks, memes, and award-show commentary—and now, an Olympian. Or, as Gus Kenworthy recently suggested, maybe the inspiration ran the other way.

In an interview with The New Yorker published Sunday, the British-American freestyle skier acknowledged the striking “parallels” he sees between the hit series and his own private life, particularly in the years before he publicly addressed his sexuality.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.
