"Beef" was pretty great, I'd recommend that. I'm surprised to see no mention of "The Witcher", though, I figured that would've ranked relatively highly despite the many creative shortcomings of the show.

- jay_kyburz 3y agoI really love the production values, the costumes, the makeup, the world. I love the idea of the Witcher. But I have no idea what the story is about or what anybody is talking about. It's just all way too complicated.
- kranke155 3y agoThe TV show made it hard to follow. The games are fairly easy to get I’d say.
- jncfhnb 3y agoI thought season 1 was straightforward once you understood the dual timelines
- spiderice 3y ago> once you understood the dual timelines That's a big caveat. Haha. I made it through almost the entirety of the season before I realized there were dual timelines. Nothing made sense. Maybe that's on me.. but I feel like enough people had similar issues that it's more likely a major shortcoming of the show.
- jncfhnb 3y agoI think that’s supposed to be intentional though. It didn’t click with me either even though in retrospect characters in the future are reflecting on their pasts that were shown in the very same episode. I thought it was a really good execution tbh. It’s rare to see fantasy play out the effect of different lifespans
- deadbunny 3y agoI'm the same, something as simple as `$year` at the bottom of the screen when switching about would have helped me immensely. It was disorienting enough that it put me off watching any of the further seasons.
- kranke155 3y agoI think the writers were being too clever.

- watwut 3y agoIt does not help that main character only grunts in the show instead of talking. The book version of Geralt is the most talkative swordsman ever, so you learn a lot from dialogs or his thoughts. When you replace dialogs by grunts, you loose a lot of information.
- acchow 3y ago"Beef" was the only Netflix show I liked in a long while. Have since canceled Netflix.
- firecall 3y agoI thought the live action One Piece was amazing! My 14 year old boy loves One Piece anime, so we watched it together so I could see what it was all about. It’s a surprising substantial TV show in its own right, and for once a fantasy TV is just good fun without trying to hard to be serious drama.
- wmil 3y agoOne interesting difference is that in the TV show Luffy has a friendly smile on most of the time. In the anime Luffy runs around with a wide eyed unblinking psychopathic stare.
- humanrebar 3y agoAlso less objectification of women in the update.
- firecall 3y agoUpvote for Beef. As with some shows the description doesn’t really do it justice. It has a lot more going for it than the premise suggests!
- watwut 3y agoThe Witcher was pretty bad in its last season. I know multiple people who just stopped to watch it, because the show was too annoying for millions of reasons. I mean, I myself could not handle last series. Not just because of "faithfulness to source" issues, but because pacing, insufferable dialogs, characters that done makes sense etc. And the series before that would be fine if it was not called the Witcher, but as it was it made any reasonable progress impossible.
