I really liked The Outlaws, it's not amazing or anything but was enjoyable and plus it's short so it didn't wear out its welcome. I'm glad some characters weren't rewarded for being lame when they easily could have given everyone rewards.
As for Hannibal, I'm shocked this has such acclaim when it's boring as shit. The dialogue is impossible to take seriously with half of it being poetic sounding nonsense and the rest incoherent psychobabble nonsense, the pacing is atrocious with endless meaningless padding, the acting mostly lousy (except Eddie Izzard who you'd never know is a woman playing a man), the plotting generally nonsensical, the shocks and twists all obvious, the central conceit beyond absurd and leaves all the characters as complete idiots even if their adversary is incapable of making a mistake of any kind and seems to have superhuman powers. And that's when the episodes actually have things happening. The show spends three seasons trying to lecture us about how great the two leads are as they spend all that time being unappealing creeps, one of whom is obviously untrustworthy yet they all inexplicably decide to over trust including the guy whose one talent is "too much empathy" even as he's continuously betrayed. The biggest sin is the soundtrack which doesn't come close to creating tension or suspense compared to being just overly loud and annoying. At least you can't hear the shitty dialogue as clearly! On the positive side, all the fight scenes are cool. Also it was really impressive that the second Mason actor could sound almost exactly like the first.
Anyway, I'll watch Sledge Hammer! next since I'm surprised it was actually added to a streaming service.
edit: Fuck, it's the version with the laugh track albeit quieted quite a bit.
edit edit: Oh thank god it's only the pilot.
