3 Major Shows That Jumped Off the Hype Train Too Soon
These days, today's hit show can quickly become tomorrow's old news.
Have you ever seen a show that seemed so good that you thought it would go down in history – only to be forgotten within a month? Why does this happen? Let's try to find out.
Yes, until now, every other video on TikTok has been the same dance to Bloody Mary performed by Jenna Ortega, cats, dogs and fans in gothic makeup. Immediately after its release, Wednesday was all fun and games and gained immense popularity, but it seems that it's being forgotten just as quickly. The general consensus is that audiences are tired of soulless reboots of beloved classics whose only purpose is to speculate on the nostalgic feelings of fans.
The new Addams Family adaptation has met some criticism after all, with fans arguing that the Wednesday image is wishy-washy and doesn't elicit sympathy. The original film, on the other hand, portrayed the family as friendly and supportive of each other without losing their quirkiness.
Another title that received an immeasurable amount of hype in its time is undoubtedly Squid Game, the benefits of which include the fact that it made many people interested in Korean cinema.
We're sure most of you would agree that Squid Game was worth seeing, but is it worth seeing again? The problem with Squid Game is that, like Wednesday, it got too much attention — it was literally everywhere. Even though there were some interesting visual and script solutions used, they quickly got the audience tired.
Fans agree that the second season will be able to win the hearts of the audience like the first, but only if the main character is replaced and the essence and content of the game is radically changed.
We all remember the battle for the audience between The Rings of Power and House of the Dragon, and we can still see who won — while the Internet is still actively discussing House of the Dragon, The Rings of Power seems to have sunk into oblivion.
Tolkien fans have always been demanding, and this time countless money shots weren't enough to satisfy them. The adaptation of the classic hit the same stumbling block as many others — it couldn't stand comparison with the previous one. According to fans, the highly anticipated show became one of the biggest disappointments of the past year.
