Maybe it’s a show you love but it has objectively bad writing, acting, or crazy plot points or maybe a show that you love but it was panned by critics or audiences and you just don’t understand why.
I’ll start with the show that got me thinking about this which is Emerald City. I just finished this show last night and even though I knew it was cancelled after one season I was surprised to see the negative reviews and some things on here I’d read about it. I honestly think it was a good premise that could’ve gotten better with more seasons but alas I guess it qualifies as a “bad” tv show.
Also honorable mention to a show I know is bad (in terms of writing & plot) but I love it anyways is First Kill on Netflix. This show was so campy and gotta love the WLW representation.
So what’s your favorite “bad” tv show? And would you recommend it others?
