The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Over some people's heads.
As I've read many reviews, both good and bad, I've noticed a pattern. The people who vote it high have been between ones who get the simplistic humor to those who understand the more subtle adult and more analytical humor involved in this show. There are many episodes filled with multiple instances of ridiculous slapstick humor, and some that use very little basic how and take a step beyond to give you more hearty humor that actually requires thought to understand and fully enjoy. I've watched this show for years and fully enjoy every aspect of it, especially the constant nerd-isms and ridiculous bromancing that sometimes seem to drone on without rhyme or reason.
That being said, the ones who are down voting it have all said basically the same thing: "the humor is lacking and the script is not well written," etc. For those people all I have to say is that the script and humor being over your head just means that you are the percentage of people in this world that is either uneducated or too lazy to think. The other shows that you reference as being more comical were canceled because they were on a SpongeBob, zombie zoning out on the couch, no thinking involved level. If you don't understand something, it does not make it bad, it just makes you inferior.
Hellions (2015)
Horribad.
This movie sounded as though it would be, at most, a typical horror movie. I was very, very wrong here. Started off about normal (as normal as a Tarantino film at least) and can keep your interest for a bit... but... eventually it turns from a decently average flick to a 'holy crap acid trip OMG OMG OMG', for a lack of more descript terminology. There is no decipherable plot, and whatever deep thought the writer and director were attempting to invoke are lost on the idiocy of pig references and bath salts. I actually gained a headache, and I believe lost brain cells from watching this. Regardless of what 'good' reviews you will read, trust that a normal person is not going to enjoy this movie at all. Unless of course you are on acid.
