I recently made a post asking people what they felt were the best shows of 2022. (I'll post the link to that thread if anyone's interested). But I thought it was also important to talk about the most disappointing shows in 2022 or ones that were just outright bad. Here's my list (I only included shows that premiered this year OR had a season come out in 2022):
1. American Horror Story (season 11)
This was by far the worst show I saw all year and one of the worst seasons of AHS. I was really hoping Murphy would redeem himself after a TERRIBLE season 10 of AHS, but he, unfortunately, did not. He only drove the show further into the ground, and it seems like he's not very interested in making it anymore (he has so many other shows he works on now). At this point, the show has completely lost the original appeal that made it so popular in the first place. I don't even know if I'll be tuning in for the next couple of seasons, and that sucks cause I used to love the show a lot. (sorry for the rant lol)
2. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
Did not enjoy this series very much at all. At this point, it does seem like the Dahmer story has been overdone, and there's not much else to do with it. I don't want to bash Ryan Murphy too much in this thread, I still love a lot of his work, but Dahmer and AHS were very disappointing for me.
3. The Handmaid's Tale (season 5)
I found this season to be the worst the show has put out so far. And for me, this is really disappointing for me as I've become really invested in the characters and their storylines. However, this season seemed like it was from a different show, and I'm concerned with the direction the show is going in right now. Ultimately, next season is the last one, and hopefully, they can redeem themselves from last season and end the show with an amazing season 6. I'm not giving up on this show, and I am looking forward to the spinoff they have coming soon.
So that's my list. Not very long because I truly enjoyed most of what I watched in 2022. Let's hope next year's list is short as well lol.
