Miss M and I have abandoned tonight's Merlin, feeling like this (No No No Cat):
(Miss M chose the icon & the mood! I am cynical and don't trust writers. Plus, I already survived throwing a teenage birthday party today. I only want NICE THINGS now.)

And I hope you find a show that is just right! <3
ETA: Oh you added a gif! Heeeeee!
ETA2: Re. Merlin. I don't think you could hate it. Was just talking to Darcy and described it as 'Pretty and stupid', and he said 'Pretty stupid, sounds about right!' *g*

But Elisi, I could hate this show with both hands tied behind my back. 'T would be easy and natural! You're right, though, in that it might just be too insubstantial to be really satisfying hate-viewing. * ponders *

Really? I've only seen a scattered handful of episodes from the earlier seasons (although I've sadly seen the one with the troll FAR TOO OFTEN. /o\). Anyway, King Giles is fabulous.

It would be a little like hating The Sarah Jane Adventures... Plenty of material, but they are trying very hard. And I don't think there's a single metaphor.

Why is that always the way? My mom likes to complain that the only episode of Iron Chef America she's ever seen is LOBSTER BATTLE! I am not quite sure what the problem with this is, though, as it features both William Shatner and and OTT crustacean/cleaver action.
Anyway, King Giles is fabulous.
Also looks good in one of those circlet crowns.

Not an obstacle, I assure you.
And I don't think there's a single metaphor.
Metaphors are always nice, but not really necessary for a hate-watch show. You do need *something* enjoyable in the mix, though, so that you are watching some little bit in a sincere manner. Musical numbers also work (Glee), and I've certainly hate-watched enough soapy things, though I do tend to burn out of those after a season or two (Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy).
I'd forgotten that The Arrow just started. I could get in on the ground floor!

Anything with William Shanter is automatically awesome. *firm nod*
Also looks good in one of those circlet crowns.
Oh yes.
Not an obstacle, I assure you.
LOL. Now I want you to watch it, just to enjoy the hating. Clearly I am a BAD person...

Oh I just meant that it's one of the reasons it doesn't hook me at all.

Oh, the worst ; ) I may need to find a timeline, though, so I can know when the proper hating can start, because it is basically petty right now, it's true. But no worries! I'm sure they'll ruin Morgana and discover angst soon enough, and then it's just a matter of time before they run through their store of serviceable plot lines and then we're golden!
Oh I just meant that it's one of the reasons it doesn't hook me at all.
Gotcha. Yeah, not an excessively deep show, for all appearances.
*is lost*
The Arrow is a super-hero show that just started this season, with all the marks of something I could hate very well. And then, think, I could say that I hated it first!
no subject
Oh TOTALLY. Am still not sure what happened to Morgana. (As in how she developed the way she did. I've not watched it though, so it's possible that there's an explanation somewhere that I'm unaware of.)

Not at all. Although you can play 'spot the trope/cliche' if you get bored. ;)

:-\ I have a fraught relationship with earnestness. It's completely intoxicating when someone gets it right *because* most things do it awful.

Hehehehehe.

Ah yes... Dunno where this would fall for you.
Hehehehehe
I've mentioned that I love my husband, right? *g*
no subject
Oh, that's no guessing game--it will be awful. Knew that much before I even started watching * nods *

Once or twice, lol.

Well I hope you enjoy your hating if you decide to go for it. Updates in the usual place, please. :)

Also I like to complain about things. Will keep you apprised ; )

Snarking is good for you? ;)
Anyway looking forward to updates. And sorry I'm so slow in replying, but life is /o\ at the moment. So busy omg.

If that's true, I am going to LIVE FOREVER.
Anyway looking forward to updates.
Shall see how it goes. Though I'm finally off for Thanksgiving \o/ And a proper four-day weekend it is too. And I feel like I have been herding five year olds all day, so drinking and insulting television shows sounds like just a fantastic idea right now.

*gloms you and feeds you grilled cheese sandwiches* It will get better sometime, I am sure. Don't you worry about me.
