We started watching "Breaking Bad". Nope....that was not funny or entertaining at all. We watched 2 episodes and quit. I have Googled characters in a series we're watching to make sure they're alright in a future episode. :0)

Nicole, a few months ago I also attempted to watch that show. I may have watched one of them. I don't even remember. Didn't care for it. I also attempted to watch, I think it's called "Ozark". I watched quite a few of the shows and finally decided I didn't like any of the characters in it, at all, and quit watching it.

I rarely make it through anything new, but not necessarily because it’s creepy. For example, I tried watching The Idea of You with Anne Hathaway on Amz Prime and I couldn’t stand it. The acting was decent, but the script was gormless.

I avoid creepy or violent shows completely. One of my closest friends is a cop and she kept trying to get me to watch Dexter. NO! I checked it out and knew it wasn't for me. She kept, over the years, insisting I would love it. I just couldn't figure out why, because she knew I hated violent, gory shows. But she finally wore me down and I decided to try it. Turns out I did love it! I loved everything about it but the gore. But what I discovered is that the gory scenes were predictable - nothing was ever sprung on you. So I could watch and close my eyes and ears when the bad scenes came on. By the end of the series, I had been a little desensitized and did see one over the top, unbelievably gory scene. I just imagined how the producer/director had fun creating this over the top scene. All the blood was fake, and I imagined them laughing about how over the top it was.

But so many other shows, I won't even try. I just don't want those images in my head.

Garbage in garbage out as they say. I have no problem turning off "entertainment" I am not enjoying.

i love scary movies. i'll have to give this one a try, maybe watch it on a dark and stormy night. 😲

We LOVED Breaking Bad and Ozark. And also Better Call Saul. Terrific, for us.

Kath...Yellowstone was another one...HATED it! I can not tell you how awful "other-peoples-misery" is to me. wallowing in meaness, fights, yelling, feuds....Oh my....not my thing at all. I keep thinking I'm such a Pollyanna. I want to be immersed in pretty flowers, home design, space exploration fantasty. P Allen Smith, Sarah Richardson, Rachel Ray reruns, Tarek El Moussa & Christina's spin off show, Motor Week....:0) If I want to fall asleep, I watch "The Price Is Right". Happy people being given new cars & vacations....no stress....nothing to worry about...and I'm out....ZZZZZ

The movie "Men" is one that really creeped me out. I don't think I could sit through it again.

Nicole, I started watching the first episode of Yellowstone on my flight a couple weeks ago. I had been wanting to see it but was pretty disappointed in it. I didn't finish the episode.

Olychick, I really liked Dexter. So much, in fact that I went to the library when I had watched all the shows and read the books. They were missing one, so I bought it on Amazon and later donated it to the library.

Ninapearl, the movie was semi-interesting but some of the acting was not good.

i had tons of people telling me i really needed to watch Yellowstone so i finally decided i'd give it a try. the opening scene in the very first episode, the guy shoots/kills his injured horse. that was enough for me, never went back to it.

BTW, I don't like 'thrill' adventures either -- no roller coasters, cliff jumping...bar fights. <grin>

See now...I love a space alien bar scene...Star wars....very entertaining.

I like the 2 movies RED....Retired Extremely Dangerous....loads of FUN! Old...but still fun...

I liked Ozark and Breaking Bad. My thing is true crime like Dateline, 48 Hours ,and 20/20. Love these shows and always figure out the killer. It's a wonder I don't have nightmares.

My DH loves all the gory violent stuff and I do not. He falls asleep and leaves me stuck with violent gory stuff. Do you ever wonder who cleans up the bodies after one of those mass killing scenes? People shot dead all over the place and nothing seems to happen to anyone who did it. Perplexing. I can suspend reality but why have to? DH is watching Killing Eve for the third or fourth time. How do you invest in a show where everyone is the bad guy?

I avoid graphic depictions of violence in shows, no matter the nature of the violence, and also shows that revolve around bad people being bad. I agree with Chisue, I do not need that stuff in my memory. I have watched GoT and Outlander, but there was enough storyline in each to keep me watching, so I became adept at fast forwarding through the scenes of torture and violence.

Nicole_, my "watch when I can't get back to sleep easily" shows are Escape to the Country and the Bob Ross channel. Escape to the Country is pretty mindless - the house shoppers always want pretty much the same thing, and usually find something wrong with every potential house... but I like seeing the old structures and the various areas of British countryside.

I used to watch Grand Designs then also, but I realized that I enjoy the show too much to be watching when I need to be asleep!

Another non-fan of violence and gore as entertainment. I don't find it scary, just disturbing and depressing, and I'd rather not have that stuff kicking around in my brain.

I prefer comedy, musicals, fantasy, farce and more heartfelt fare.

Hubby loved Dexter, and The Sopranos too. I missed out on much of such popular stuff, but I do know about it

As for creepy, I couldn't watch Tim Burton's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory because I found it way too creepy - turned that off pretty quickly. I managed to get through Poor Things, tho - I think because its imagery is so fantastical - and Emma Stone is so talented.

In recent memory, I have enjoyed a couple of series that were very gory at times, but they had other redeeming qualities: Counterpart and Maniac.

And I spend a lot of time on IMDB.com looking up movies, shows and people - it's such a great resource.
