How is this Rated 7.5???


There must be some gimmick going on pushing this show up to 7.5. There is literally no possible way the majority of people who watch this show have that high of a liking to it. I'm very easy going and like a lot of shows. This show was absolutely terrible. IMDB needs to check on how their ratings are applied because there is no possible way this is a 7.5 show.

How many did you watch? After the first 3 I barely liked it but after 10, I think it deserves an 8.

I barely made it through the first one.

I also thought it started out kinda slow but got better. I would give the entire season a 7.

reply

About to say the exact same thing. The first 3 episodes maybe 4 were pretty bad in my opinion but I kept with it and you're right as the season progresses the show finds its rhythm and it actually gets pretty good.

reply

Hmm. Ok. I turned it off after 10 minutes. It's was like a school play or something. I have a very low 'make me laugh' threshold (ie I laugh easily, but still discernibly) and this didn't even raise a smile for me. I was actually embarrassed for the actors.


Maybe I should skip forward to ep5?

Yes, because you didn't enjoy it means there is no way others did.

It actually deserves more than 7.5

reply

There's no way the majority of others thought of it as a very highly rated show. 7.5 is ridiculous for this show regardless of my opinion. It is terrible.

reply

Just get over it. Other people like things that you dislike that's a part of life. If you don't like the show place your rating and move on.

I think a 7 or 7.5 works fine because imo the show gets better in episodes 5-10. Especially Heathers character development.

reply

Actually believe it or not your opinion means nothing outside of your home. Obviously most people like this show and i completely agree that it is a very good one.

7.5 is ridiculous for this show regardless of my opinion.


Regardless of your opinion? Your opinion is the reason you think 7.5 is way too high. 

You say "regardless of my opinion" like there is some science behind why you dislike the show.

"I watched this show objectively as a scientist and have concluded that even if I didn't hate the show.....the show would still be bad"."

I couldn't stand the show either. Couldn't even get through the first episode, but it always amuses me when people can't handle other people liking something they don't.

reply

That's because the rating system on this site is inconsequential and represent nothing.

I am sorry for my grammar\spelling

reply

Very true!

As far as this show is concerned, I had high hopes for it based on, a) the cast, and b) the reputation Netflix has established putting out quality original programming. Boy, was I disappointed!

reply

The rating is accurate. I like it as well. Comedy is very subjective. I grew up in this lifestyle so It appeals more.

reply

I like the show, I like the actors and the roles they play. I like that they get messages across in easy going way mixed with some comedy without the comedy or the moral over shadowing each other.

I like Sam Elliott's character and the way he relates with his sons.

The laugh track is a bit over used in my opinion.

Over all for a 30 minute show that I have binge watched both seasons of, I rate it an 8.

As always, if you do not like the show, instead of coming here and complaining about it, Just do not watch it. That's what I do.

reply

I wasnt sure at first but i think people have to give it a chance, now i am into it. I love Sam Elliot anyway and his dry humour goes well.

Actually i have laughed out loud a few times watching this, which i cant say i have in many other comedies which people rave about.

Yeh its ok, i would recommend it but again people have to give the characters a chance to develop. I would give it 7.5. Great cast, funny, dry, naughty, a good all round mix. Better then a lot of rubbish on Sky thats for sure.

reply

I think 7.5 is correct, it's funny, well acted and interesting, the only bad thing is the stupid laugh track.

reply

I was so surprised at the 7.5 also. Especially since it's rated under three stars on Netflix. I don't know where all these fans are coming from. It's not a terrible show but it's not good either.

reply

Netflix star ratings aren't related to what other people think of a given show/movie, but how much the service thinks a given user will enjoy it, based on past viewing habits.

reply

I rate your post (and your opinion) a 2/10.

reply

LMAO, so because you don't like it, that means that no one else does?
