I've never seen this show, but I've read numerous reviews that say it's one of the best TV series ever. So what didn't you like about it?

Preacher S3 - 7/10

Solid 3rd season and probably it’s best overall. While the source material remains largely intact it’s obviously modernized and things don’t play out exactly the same as the comic but it’s still fun. Didn’t appreciated the interjected political jabs. I don’t need that crap in my entertainment but with Seth Rogan as an executive producer I’m not surprised it was forced in.

Happy. 7/10
I didn't realize this was based off the comic, but I should have guessed it would have been a Grant Morrison comic after watching the first episode. Still better than every Marvel comic Netflix series except Daredevil.

Harlots - Season 2

The melodrama was turned up this season in what is already an enjoyable trashy drama. 7/10

Titans Season 1 - 5.5/10 just super-meh on the whole thing and the last episode just has no logic to it.

HUM∀NS - Season 3

Westworld has gotten much of the AI rebellion coverage, but this British remake of the Swedish TV series deserves to be seen too. And it's more of a metaphor for the pursuit of equal rights by insert-persecuted-minority-group-here. 8/10

I thought it was pretty good....

Spoiler
Trigon corrupted Dick by using what he feared the most, giving into his dark side and becoming a murderer.. Now he's under the control of Trigon...

In case you were confused it took place in Dick's head, Batman didn't really kill everyone

Too slow. Others have said that season 2 was the weakest of the series. Started season 3 so we’ll see.

No I got it. My issue is that Dick walked into the house and then was in another life and never questioned it once. Not only that but he even says Bruce would never do that because of his code, then doesn't question what's happening at all. He also doesn't question Kory just showing up with knowledge of Batman. It was just ridiculous that a man trained by Batman questions nothing about the obvious fantasy. It was like "Perchance to dream", which by the way is a fantastic BTAS episode, but without any of the logic that makes that story great.
