People like it because, even with all its faults and nonsensical diversions from the source material, it's a generally enjoyable show with strong performances.

You don't like it because you want to feel special and different.

Didn't get views because it's boring. Too episodic and too much character study. Interesting stuff would occasionally happen, but then it doesn't get addressed

>>81429414

If it came out ten years ago it would've been hailed as the masterpiece it deserves but the fact it aired on a channel no one really watched also did damage to ratings and getting it noticed.

100 Deeds of Eddie McDowd, which I've just discovered through the stream linked here: >>81426538

>>81429450

It suffers from the same thing Jericho suffered.

The show doesn't know if it wants to be a serious take on a particular topic OR one of those wholesome family y'all feelgood daytime shows for the flyover states.

So you get interesting developments or moments that get watered down by singer-songwriter moments where people give each other hugs and prepare dinner for the whole family and shit.

The Honourable Woman, probably. Made Maggie my favourite Gyllenhaal.
Never seen anyone talk about it except for a single thread back when it ran.
Fuck, only reason I saw it was because I was visiting my parents and my mom wanted to watch it.

Another worthy mention is Generation Kill. How that show doesn't have a huge mainstream following is beyond me. Especially since there still are people who talk about how Band of Brothers is the greatest show ever.

Started off fairly slow, but really picked up mid-way and finished strongly. Whilst it was typical for a Sorkin production (a bit of heavy-handed liberal finger-wagging), it was still a great show - tightly scripted, developed characters and a few laughs.

On TBS right now, I'm watching a marathon of Angie Tribeca. This show is hilarious in an Airplane kind of way, and I had never heard of it before. Judging by the ratings, neither has anybody else,even though it's about to start it's third season. Damn shame really.

One of the best pilot episodes ever. The problem was after establishing so many characters as genius writers who kill themselves to get sketches right, the show then spent way too much time actually showing the sketches that weren't funny in the slightest.

Yeah this is exactly why people consider network tv pearls before swine unfortunately. You have to understand though normies don't like cynical political shows. Veep doesn't have the biggest audience either.
