It seems lately I’ve been sucked into shows with an interesting premise but an unlikable main character. Some examples:
The Lazarus Project - George is an insufferable idiot and I wished they would kill him off every season.
Alien: Earth - I could not stand Wendy. I loved every episode she wasn’t in.
Pluribus - I couldn’t even tell you the main character’s name, but I’ve stopped watching this show about 15 minutes into episode 3 because I can’t stand her and simply don’t care what happens.
Is this a new trend? Or am I getting old, bitter, and set in my ways? (or a bit of both?)
