Worst 5 Shows of 2022

09 December 2022 - 11:45 AM

The lasers are warmed up and my annual annihilation of deep space TV trash is ready for... liftoff?  Whatever.  My analogy is about as good as these shows.

 

 

 

#5 - The Walking Dead (season 11)

What's worse than 11 seasons of a show about unshowered people aimlessly walking around Virginia?  Apparently four other things from this year.  Our survivors band together for one last hurrah: giving inspirational speeches, falling in love, hogtying stormtroopers, and uncovering the corruption of the Common Wealth.  What do any of these things have to do with killing zombies?  Keep your dumb questions to yourself and watch this mansion blow up for no reason.  The series is done but three spin-off shows were announced, so these future "worst show" lists are probably going to be clogged with those.

 

 

#4 - The Book of Boba Fett

Action!  Adventure!  Romance!  This show has none of those things.  The Book of Boba Fett is what Blazing Saddles would look like if it wasn't funny.  The biggest badass of the galaxy hunkers down in his sand palace and spends the rest of his days getting his ass badly beaten, wondering what it would be like to have a jetpack to escape these situations.  "Doesn't he have a jetpack, Pasidon?"  Shhhh.  Don't look at that.  Just enjoy nice shiny Star Wars bobble.

 

 

#3 - The Witcher (season 2)

Netflix's social experiment to see how many people it can upset continues.  Let's... not focus on the weird armor.  Or the crappy visuals.  Or the generic high-fantasy tropes.  Or the soggy dialogue.  Or the writing.  Or the actors who all look like Axe Body Spray models.  The remaining 3 minutes of content would probably put it just above Book of Boba Fett.

 

 

#2 - Halo

The other show about the guy who should never take off his helmet.  Halo is (in theory) based off the Halo games, telling the "action-packed" journey of a man who had a childhood and is special because his dad beat him for drawing pictures of a triangle.  The star-studded cast, breathtaking visuals, and groundbreaking storytelling will blow you away.  No.  Really.  It will blow and you will go away to watch something else.

 

 

#1 - The Rings of Power

This is what a midlife crisis looks like for billionaires.  The kingdom of Middle-Earth is in peril!  Several people scattered over several different regions (possibly close to each other (possibly in Middle-Earth)) band together (sometimes) and fight against the rising evil: ... uh... Sauron?  Tidal waves?  Source material?  A legion of possibly 12-1000 orcs?   And there's some sort of magic ... stuff... in mithril that will... cure... trees... and... Adar, who is... a guy who's not happy about... trees?  And... Numenor is is danger!  And we need rings of power to stop... uh... bad... big ears... things... and... ... Evil.  Season 2 is in production, so see you again soon, Rings of Power.  All that is gold does not glisten and all that is crap does not always flush.
