The 10 Worst TV Shows Of 2022 

"They didn't have a story to tell and hoped nostalgia would save it" This has basically been Disney's business model since 2019.

"Emily in Paris season 3" has to be the most terrifying string of words I have heard all year

Whats wild about Inventing Anna is how at the end, the show makes the argument that Anna wouldn't be prosecuted if she was a man because "men get away with so much worse" and that Anna was somehow a GIRL BOSS for scamming her close friends. The entire Inventing Anna subreddit just tears the show apart, it's great.

Can we also talk about how Anna's victims felt deeply disrespected by the show and its many inaccuracies that depicted Anna to be more sympathetic than she actually was?

FYI for Pam and Tommy, it was made AGAINST Pamela’s explicit wishes, and falsely portrays Tommy, leaving out a lot of his abuse towards her. Her documentary coming out will be her story, told with her involvement.

It's insane to me that they keep greenlighting video game adaptations to people who hate video games

It's like Melissa McCarthy is picking movies rejected by Adam Sandler, after they've been rejected by Kevin James.

The thing that bugs me about the Obi-Wan series is that they did have a good story to tell, but they tried to do too much. It should've been a smaller-scale, character-driven, deep dive into Obi-Wan's guilt and grief.

People not caring about the source material they adapt seems to be a disease in Hollywood these days

It’s honestly insane how Disney released both Book of Boba Fett and Andor in the same year and yet both shows couldn’t be more different quality-wise💀💀💀

since you hated blockbuster i actually think you would really like superstore. it’s a comedy show with a similar premise but with solid good writing lol. it’s not the best show ever but still pretty underrated for its comedy material. (also has the same writers as the office so what could go wrong)

The strangest thing about The Time Traveler's Wife is that it's Steven Moffat's passion project... how do you adapt your favourite novel and make it so lifeless?

Euphoria is based on an Israeli TV show with the same name which aired in 2012. The original show only had 1 season. And that's how they wrote the show. The Israeli version closed all the storylines by the end of season 1. the Israeli creator wrote the show to be 1 season long only. which can explain why, from season 2 onwards it got worse. because the American writers had to come up with their own original storylines.

Props to Netflix for killing Blockbuster for the second time now

Thank you for mentioning First kill! I was so disappointed and mad when this show became just unwatchable 😭 Everybody was like wow what a fun guilty pleasure but I was genuinely MAD at it. I was so angry that they wasted such a fun and original concept I thought became a 2013 RU-vid critic. Me and my friend were screaming, crying, throwing up from disappointment for weeks and I didn't see anyone saying how awful it was.

Sam did a GoT: he based the US version of Euphoria off the Israeli version and when he ran out of source material, he just made up his own stuff without the benefit of a writers' room and went out of his way to antagonize the actors (Barbie).

"Bad shows that waste promising concepts" should receive a list of their own. I WANTED to like "Time Traveller's Wife", since I like Rose Leslie and Theo James, but knew that they didn't even WAIT to axe it.

Fate: The Winx Saga constantly made me wanna gouge my eyes out. From the cast/show runner disrespecting the source material, to the mediocre at best story, to the whitewashing and questionable story beats, it's possibly the best example of what not to do when adapting a cartoon and making it "realistic" (I don't know what's realistic about fairies and magic, but whatever). The only positive I can point out is that it's funny in a sad kind of way seeing people petitioning to bring back the show really believe Netflix will listen.

Poor Melissa McCarthy is shocking us so much. I didn't know Life of the Party was so bad, I gave the DVD to my mom for Christmas like last year and I thought we could have a nice mother-daughter time with Suki from Gilmore Girls of which we have fond memories. But the way Melissa was willing to humiliate herself so much for the jokes that weren't funny but just hurtful was beyond me. I thought it was going to be a movie about a Mom who had to learn how to let go off her college daughter, but I don't even remember how it ended now

It feels like the whole Halo show drama was twenty years ago

Sometimes I think Melissa McCarthy's husband is low-key trying to kill her career lol. It's actually sad that she's so willing to star in his shit. Did she just forget what a funny movie looks like after Bridesmaids and Spy?

Everything you said about Halo was accurate. It constantly contradicts essential parts of the Halo story and lore, and it is precisely because the showrunners didn't play the games. Just like how Microsoft specifically hired people who disliked the original Halo trilogy to continue the franchise after Bungie sold it, the showrunners bragged about how they specifically didn't play the games. As a lifelong fan of Halo, it just hurts. Not even specifically the show, just in general.

Euphoria season 2 was such a disappointment. Usually high school shows don't feel relatable to me but when I watched the first season in my last year of highschool I was in love because of Rue. It's so rare to see good representation of addicts especially young one and I was really deep in addiction in high school. Her character was just sooo relatable and it made me feel seen ! The special episode of Rue made me cry ! Season 1 was not perfect but when season 2 came I was so sad at how it just murdered itself.

Leighton Meester deserves so much better than a mediocre HIMYM spin off! She was so good on GG, it’s baffling she hasn’t had a solid role since then.

Euphoria s2 is a perfect example of setting up decent storylines but completely dropping the ball because the writer thinks they’re being deep

My favorite part of the Halo show was when Master Cheeks threw his assault rifle on the ground and for some reason the visual effects team thought it would be a great idea to transition from a real prop to a CGI rifle as soon as it hit the ground, instead of just, y'know, throwing an actual prop on the ground. These are the kind of things the showrunners were concerned about. Instead of just writing a good story. It's quite telling. Also you missed out on Master Cheeks losing his V-card! Even though in canon his meat cannot be beat due to all the bio-enhancements he's been subjected to over the years.

Tbh it's really scary to think that younger generations treat real life crimes and mental health problems as a "funny" plot even normalizing them as if we didn't have those same problems in our generation

The Book of Boba Fett left me with an impression that writers realized that they ended up writing the most basic crime drama, so they decided to just make The Mandalorian Season 2.5

If you enjoy the concept of The Time Travellers wife, Doctor Who's season 5 and 6 does a similar concept with a pair of characters who constantly meet in opposite directions in time (so the first time A meets B is the last time B will ever meet A) and it's done much more competently and heartfelt.

We need to save Melissa from herself (and her husband) 😭 She's such an amazing comedic and dramatic actress when she's given the right script, it's such a shame what projects she's been working on

It's sad seeing how many of these are by Netflix. They're greenlighting a lot, failing to advertise them, and not really giving them a chance to improve. I've only heard of Blockbuster from this video, but I think a sitcom would be the easiest to give a second chance to, because it doesn't need to follow a storyline and could get better next season. With both good and bad shows getting immediately cancelled, it feels like every Netflix project is a long pilot constantly under fear of getting killed if it doesn't rake in big numbers and big money. Anything less than widespread success is a failure.

Inventing Anna getting a bunch of nominations is everything wrong with award shows.

Blockbuster was probably the biggest surprise for me. It was such a disappointment with the quality of actors on that cast. I tapped out after episode 6

Fun fact: the reason the halo show was so bad was because the people making the show refused to look at the original source material was because they “didn’t want to be held back creatively”

Theory: Melissa Mccarthy movies, and now shows, are like that business that keeps open even though you see NO ONE going in. Maybe not for movie laundering, but for sure for tax right offs. Companies greenlight these projects because they know they will flop and can then put them as losses for the year. Or I mean, as laundering, wouldn't put it past some of those companies

I was completely destroyed by Witcher blood origin. I now bow to Netflix for making something like Witcher bad. I never thought it was possible, but Netflix never disappoint

Thank you for having Euphoria in this list! The amount of times I've seen people put that show in the Best TV shows list for 2022 is baffling, especially given how much it crapped on Season 1 and how it was so narratively clumsy.

I think the funniest part about the failures of Resident Evil franchise is the fact that it would WAY cheaper to produce what the fans actually want. It's horror with heavy emphasis on atmosphere. You could make a good horror movie/show with decent producers and 10% of the budged, but they keep pumping out action pieces that nobody wants.

I actually did make to the end of Inventing Anna... near the end they have everyone falling for Anna. Even some of the people that know the truth about her they're rooting for her. And it just felt like yet another show that tries to glorify a criminal. One of the characters was put a in really bad situation that (legit) put her in danger and they frame it like she was at fault because she fell for the scam AND they even say that she benefited from it because she sold her story . Well, she had to sell her story since she almost lost her job (and that's what saved it) and since she was given a bad rap the story saved her reputation and yes, she made money. It's a human reaction to being stuck in a bad situation & financial issues... but the show framed it like SHE was the bad guy and ANNA was to be praised. And Anna is an actual sociopath but no, Netflix thinks that's cool apparently. By the end I was really angry about it. Especially after reading about the truth. The show was praising Anna, like wtf And yeah God's Favourite Idiot was really bad.

Agreed on Euphoria. Season one was pretty solid and season two is just BAD.

props to Dylan watching the worst shows of 2022 on our behalf so we don't have to accidentally do it ourselves😔

if my credibility as a writer and storyteller were on the line, even if it wasn't something I liked I'd be doing my best to make a faithful adaptation, if only because I know what it's like to see a beloved franchise done to filth by careless corporates looking to make money off my nostalgia. I would also be pushing to get insight from people who've enjoyed the games to at least have a surface-level understanding of what something should look like before committing to an idea

It will forever make me laugh that people want to criticize things like the dialogue and scripts of the Kenobi show and then act like the prequels are completely fine on those same fronts. It’s honestly astonishing.

Anyone else noticed the clips he used for the intro of the “best shows of 2022” are clips of the worst shows and vice versa

"This show is the narrative equivalent of Murphy's Law" DAMN nobody can roast a show like Dylan I swear 😭

THE TERMINAL LIST was a terrific series, and far better than I thought it would be. The rest of the shows were ones I never watched. Thanks for the rundown.

That frustration you felt for the Resident Evil show is the same I felt toward every live action adaptation of the Witcher. I love the books, the third game is one of my favorite games period, and watching these people sneer at the “improvements” they’re writing has never ceased to annoy me. It’s just sad. At this point, you could tell me you’re adapting the books word for word and got Henry Cavill back but I won’t give them another chance.

I think Melissa McCarthy is so so talented and it bums me out so bad that she hasn’t been hitting her potential. I love her in St. Vincent, really think she should do more dramadys like that

How on earth did a show about a character from rouge one I never cared about end up being one of the best piece of star wars media I have seen in a very long time and have more personality, emotion and have me feel more connection to the characters THAN OBI WAN KENOBI

The fact that most of these shows are franchise shows says a lot, people are really just relying on brand recognition to carry their shows while also refusing to adapt what people love about those franchises

I agree with you about the nosedive Euphoria took in season 2, but damn, most of it was hella entertaining 😂

hearing you mention the witcher actually makes me want to hear more of your review on the disaster the netflix series is becoming, the book series is my favourite of all time and i was so hyped for this season two, just to see that half of the plot was completely made up by show writers who dislike the books, now that henry cavill is leaving the role of geralt as well just crushes my soul, the show had so much potential

What's kinda funny is that #3 and #4 on this list are both shows that I watched and went "This is just a generic show that they slapped a famous IP's name onto"

I whole heartedly agree with every one of your choices. Still boggles the mind that PLL:OS and Gossip Girl got season 2. I still dread what Roberto has in store for True Blood. I haven't seen a Melissa McCarthy anything since Spy. I tried but the team up movies with her husband actually hurts my brain.

I agree, only good things about Euphoria season 2 were the production value and the performances. I’ve never felt my struggle with addiction and mental illness be better represented in some of the performances the but the writing, especially the situations they end up in, truly baffle me.

Have I watched any of these shows? No Have I heard of any of these shows? Also no Will I watch a 30 min video of FSN ranting about them? Absolutely yes I will

I am still 100% convinced that the halo show was not actually a halo show but a generic original sci-fi script that some executive saw and thought would do really well if they slapped a recognizable name like halo onto it. So many of the baffling choices it makes make so much more sense if you view it through that lens.

You have to do Emily in Paris season 3. I actually heard you in my head commentating in real time. I got you saying "and I sh*t you not, the whole crowd of pool people start f*cking dancing ". You need to do season 3.

It is so insane to me still that the show runners of Halo admitted that they never played the games and had no intention on doing so

Anna Sorkin's real story is way more interesting than the story they told in Inventing Anna.

I liked Obi-Wan Kenobi when I watched it, but completely forgot it came out until you just mentioned it! For me, I found the exploration of his guilt, along with the moral sacrifices he had to make in order to keep Leia safe, were very interesting, but they just didn’t explore them deeply enough.

It's sad that Melissa McCarthy keeps starring in the worst comedies ever when she is actually a pretty good dramatic actress (her work in Can You Ever Forgive Me? is truly stellar)

1) "The Time Traveler's Wife" (#8) was taken off HBO Max this month but it was released on DVD in October. You can tell the show's not coming back since it got a "Complete Series" DVD release. The show's few fans started a campaign to bring it back. Unsurprisingly, it hasn't gone anywhere! 😆 2) The awful Clone Wars movie that came out in 2002 or whatever actually came out in 2008, the same year the series came out! 🤓 3) If Resident Evil ever gets adapted into a TV show, they should definitely adapt one of the latest sequels or one of the latest remakes. Trying to make an original Resident Evil series like #3 has *not* been working! 😒 4) I had legitimately *never* heard of "God's Favorite Idiot" (#1) until now! That was probably for the best. 😅

I swear I'm waiting in anticipation for The Idol to see what kind of shit Sam Levinson is going to serve us following Euphoria season 2.

Totally agree about Melissa McCarthy. I loved Spy and I thought, amazing! This is the kind of thing she's gonna do going forward! IT WAS NOT and I was baffled. Why was she doing crap projects when she had all the choice in the world? This thing about her husband, it explains so much.

The funniest part of Thunder Force for me is that I genuinely can’t remember if I watched it or not. I remember seeing the page for it on Netflix and thinking “eh, I have an evening to burn” but I don’t remember if I finished it or not

You can’t just throw Requiem for a Dream out there. Every time I hear that title I involuntarily stop breathing for a few seconds under the weight it’s quirk. Such fun. But still a damn good movie.

And the worst part is that Melissa McCarthy was pretty good in Nine Perfect Strangers last year!

I felt your Resident Evil rant so much. As a massive fan of the game series, I was hoping that it would use the game setting, but it just being a generic zombie show crushed my heart.

"They messed with the lore only to make it MORE GENERIC" I've seen that so.. so... so many times now, I really don't understand why that's the TREND now.

Honestly one thing I can appreciate about How I Met Your Father is that they focus more on future Sophie and not so much on her future son so that way they don’t run into the problem they had with HIMYM with having written the ending in season 2. It gives them more wiggle room.

In no.4's case, don't worry. The creators have outright stated they never played the games, and have no respect for the source material. In short, they're the most attractive people for Hollywood to give adaptations to!

(9:23) I think Netflix purposely tanked _Blockbuster_ as a "suck it" move/ being petty for the way the company pretty much laughed in their faces all those years ago. It's extremely petty but I'd be amused to find it's true. Although, atm it's purely speculation 😂

Melissa needs to say no to her husband because now it's a huge problem. She's too talented for this mess.

What a list man ! Truly a weird year for series. Happy new year to you and yours homie 🙏🏾🥰

Its so sad that the time travellers wife was better executed. I love that book and the movie adaptation is pretty decent as well. It's a really good concept and would have loved to explore this story again through a different media

Euphoria s2 was a definitely controversial. But i will still stand saying that the episode focus on Rue is still the best in all the show.

Will you review His dark materials? I haven't seen anyone talking about it and it is awesome.

I think that resident evil could have worked as a generic zombie series, I think the main sticking point is that they barely paid attention to any of the canon.

The book of boba fett had so much potential imagine building a fight between boba fett and cad bane would fit with what cad said at some point that all clones are the same and after you figure out one the rest are easy, pretty satisfying to see him killed by a clone Also you forgot about witcher the blood origin deserved a spot on this list

As a fan of First Kill, I totally get why it's on the list lol. Still so very sad that we won't get a season 2

Even if it wasn't about such dark subjects, "it's just supposed to be fun" is not ever a defense for something being bad quality

I cannot believe that you ignored Can You Ever Forgive Me, the role Melissa was literally nominated for a best actress award for at the Oscars

Just finished your Top 10 Best Shows of 2022 when this popped up. you seriously never disappoint.❤❤❤

I’d be interested to know your opinion on season 3 dead to me! I was very unsure how I felt at the end but was ultimately glad I watched it thanks to your recommendation

Did you make the music you play at the beginning and end of your videos? If so, do you have a Spotify? I really wanna hear more

Hi, have you watched the new interview with a vampire series? It's different from the source material but It's really good and I'm curious about your opinion on this

Next year is the Arcane and Invincible 2nd seasons year, so we’re solid for 2023

You always say you're not gonna watch the next season of Emily in Paris and it's never true.

the halo show was exactly what you suspect. they've been doing this thing for years even in the games where they just go against the identity in hopes of gaining a "broader audience". 343 specifically brought on people that hated the core franchise

so happy you're releasing more videos ❤️❤️❤️ happy new year dylan!! 🥰

Merci pour ces deux vidéos coup sur coup, c'était vraiment top ! Très bonne idée d'en faire une tradition 👍🏻 Bonnes fêtes !

My goodness, I had completely forgotten some of these!! Thank you for your service, sir.

How do you know someone hasn’t seen white lotus season 2 “Theo James is not a bad actor” understatement of the decade

I would love for you to do buffy - especially the musical episode as I think (apart from SMGs singing voice) that it is the best musical episode ever done and probably the only one that had an actual and quite huge impact on the story. Even people who do not like musical episodes must agree that it was the most wholesome thing ever done on buffy.

9:35 “How the fuck did they mess this up?” The answer: Andy Samberg is irreplaceable.

8:30 I remember. All I kept thinking about was Sanditon, since Theo James couldn't return to it because he already signed up for this show and they killed off Sidney because of that. 11:04 No, I understand. For me, I had very simple wants: See Temura Morrison, Ming Na and Ewan McGregor be middle age butt kickers. Morrison and Ming Na were space gangsters and McGregor was Obiwon hanging out in the desert. Like, it's not that hard LucasFilms. And I still hate CGI Luke. 19:40 They did a live action Halo show? Huh.

I know you don’t do videos on anime but it’d be so interesting to see you review/talk about Attack on Titan! Anyways enjoyed this video Happy New Year! 🤗
