People love a series of their absolute personal choice but some series are rather appreciated more than they deserve and it is felt collectively. Here we have 17 TV shows that get too much attention for no good reason.
Riverdale
Initially, Riverdale got attention for its dark, sharp take on the classic Archie Comics. Even though the series is widely famous, its fame is often questioned on social media because, as the seasons changed, the stories started getting more unreal and the strange characters started taking place, which made the story more unclear and complicated.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
This show’s attention is often said to be used for marketing strategies rather than for stories and different plots. Many argue that the show does not have a real story and it often creates unnecessary drama, making this reality show materialistic. This show is usually famous for documenting the lives of the Kardashian and Jenner families.
The Bachelor/The Bachelorette
These shows get enough attention because of their dramas and conflicts and not because of their storylines. Critics say that the storylines are often repetitive rather than interesting, making it boring for long-term viewers. These long-running reality shows are basic in the world of dating competitions.
Emily in Paris
It was met with love and criticism on its release. While it’s clearly appealing and lighthearted, many viewers find the portrayal of French culture stereotypical and the plot weak. This show receives considerable attention just because of its shooting in Paris and the fantasies fulfilled in the storylines, not because of any important plot.
13 Reasons Why
This show was discussed widely because of its tough issues which were highlighted in the story, like suicide and mental health issues but more or less it was meant to be made up rather than responsibly showing the serious storylines that were there in the show. The show did not properly handle the sensitive topics and was later only talked about because of its controversy.
The Big Bang Theory
Some people argue that this show has some stereotypes, although this show about a group of nerdy friends is immensely famous but is also criticized for not giving depth to the storylines. However, it is considered to be one of the most-watched shows around.
Grey’s Anatomy
With over 19 seasons, this series has run out of fresh ideas, as per critics. The stories are just repeated more or less, making the show boring, although it had its share of fame among fans and continues to receive viewers mainly because of its long stay on TV.
Stranger Things
This show is a super hit, having fans going crazy over it and its young cast, which is very energetic throughout the series but people argue that it is overhyped and has so much connection to pop culture rather than relating itself to the nostalgia era it shows. This series is well-made and well-known.
The Walking Dead
Many feel that the show has lost its attraction since it has been stretched for so long now. This series started as a breakthrough in the zombie stories, making fans crazy over it in the beginning. Its once-iconic scenes have kept the series very much alive despite having less viewership in comparison to before.
Friends
The younger generation appreciates this series as much as the generation for which the show was made in the very beginning. However, this gets criticized too as overexposed because of the amount of attention it has covered through social media despite being a classic.
The Witcher
With a complex storyline that does not easily relate on screen, this show has been criticized by some for its confusing and disjointed scenes. It gained a lot of hype in the beginning because of its origination from the book series and video games it’s based on. Henry Cavill is also one of the main reasons why this series still gets huge fan love.
Euphoria
While this show has a strong fanbase, the level of attention is often seen as undeserved because the story is rather considered to be bold enough to glamorize teenage addiction and toxic love life, which are usually the darker aspects of human life if considered rationally.
Glee
The quality of the show is appreciated by many and criticized by others. This show is considered to be so hyped because of its impact on pop culture, but some people believe that it has an inconsistent storyline and character development that eventually became complicated as the seasons developed.
American Horror Story
This series has had its share of highs and lows. Some sections were much better appreciated than others but overall the fans felt that this series created an eagerness in them, which led them to oversee the poor storyline and that’s how the series eventually became famous alongside criticism.
You
This was a psychological thriller filled with the character’s toxic behavior, which was slowly irritating for the fans but it gained much appreciation for its portrayal of a charming yet dangerous protagonist. It remains a frequently discussed movie, with some saying that the story was repeated throughout.
Outer Banks
This teen drama continues to attract significant attention, particularly on social media. Some criticize it by saying that the attractive cast and lovely scenery are what appeal to fans rather than the storyline with its stretched routines.
Sex and the City
This show became a cultural base, with its influence still widely felt and discussed but it is often criticized for its lack of diversity and its shallow take on relationships. Apart from everything, the show was considered amazing in its portrayal of female friendships and sexuality.
