We love the internet. It has given us a place to share thoughts and feelings while finding community, but it can also ruin our TV watching experiences. When a TV show becomes super popular, it’s almost impossible to avoid spoilers. You’ll often end up knowing all the main characters and major plot points before even hitting play on the first episode. Sometimes that TV show becomes so overhyped and overrated that by the time you tune in, you aren’t even sure what the fuss was about in the first place.
It’s a natural part of life though. People will always share the things they enjoy, but that doesn’t mean everyone will feel the same. And today, Redditors are building on the popular saying, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
In a recent Reddit thread, users were asked to share the one show that they thought was overrated but it has often been treated as a “masterpiece” by others. The answers ranged from literally all medical TV dramas to one of the most beloved comedy series of our time. Things definitely get controversial, but here are 18 of the most overrated TV shows, according to Redditors.
1. Grey's Anatomy
Literally Grey’s Anatomy, I don’t care how bored I am I’m not watching that sh-t.
2. The Good Doctor
The Good Doctor is [like] nails on a chalkboard after about two episodes.
3. This Is Us
It’s trauma porn, intense emotional sensations to get your weekly cry in which is healthy sure but not the masterpiece everyone’s mom makes it out to be.
4. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Every character is deplorable and it just isn’t funny.
5. Top Gear
I never liked any of those 3 guys, and I find none of them any fun in the show. To me it's just a boring show about cars/engines.
6. Breaking Bad
The question was about an overrated series and not about the worst series of all time.
Personally, I like Breaking Bad and it's definitely worth watching but it's not a masterpiece IMO. Respect people's opinion just the way you expect others to respect yours too
7. The West Wing
Sh-t writing, frequently misogynistic, racist, homophobic and anti-progressive, and the milquetoast political takes have influenced an entire generation of liberal politicians to be a bunch of wieners that never accomplish anything. Admittedly the cast is great, except for Bradley Whitford, but everything else about that show is disgusting and to see it heralded as a political masterpiece makes me want to barf.
8. Seinfeld
Watched 3 seasons, laughed maybe twice. Every joke felt like the type of parody you see elsewhere. "So what's the deal with airline food?" Except Seinfeld makes those jokes for real.
9. Ted Lasso
Although there are good parts and dialogues, it has mediocre storytelling, it is naive, and all about apple products.
10. The Sopranos
I've tried to watch it 5/6 times now and I can't get past the third season, it absolutely bores me. I really want to like it as i love mafia stuff and its the show that made all shows possible, but by god is it a chore to watch.
11. Friends
Friends. For sure. Has its moments but it is by no means as good as the teenage girls say it is. Any new sitcom like The Office or Parks and Rec is better.
12. Killing Eve
To be honest I don't even remember much about it because I watched only the first season just the once when it came out. What I do remember is a feeling of extreme disappointment because all the reviews were glowing and the show just did not live up to them. That feeling sticks with you.
13. Squid Game
Don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty good show with a decent plot and all but it absolutely did not live up to the hype. I watched it because everybody was talking about it and it was okay at best. I then watched it high on Mary Jane and hydros and it was slightly better.
14. Naruto
It's a great show, but the writing is so one-dimensional and there are way too many inconsistencies for it to be called a masterpiece.
15. Star Trek
Um…at the risk of being roasted by a bunch of Trekkies. Star Trek… truly bad acting, campy scripts, and questionable special affects (sic), even for its time. I truly enjoy watching it, but it is NOT the masterpiece the hardcore fans believe it is.
16. Schitt’s Creek
I can’t make it past the first season, I also can’t stand how young folks crave authenticity and despise industry plants and nepotism but they can’t keep from kissing Daniel Levy’s a--.
17. Shameless
As soon as Fiona left the show, it went down hill and the last season they were so tired of doing the show they just threw trash on the screen.
18. How I Met Your Mother
People usually rave about it to me and I tried watching it once or twice only to see the corniest played out jokes on tv. They literally do thats what she said jokes that i was doing in middle school.
