Title is self-explanatory. What are some popular/critically-acclaimed shows you've never seen?
I've never seen a single episode of Friends or X-Files.

I know The Wire is supposed to be a big one, but I've never watched it, nor have I heard anyone talk about it, outside of the internet.
I don't even know what it is about.

Most of them, actually, but the two that get the biggest reactions when I say I've not seen them are Friends and Seinfeld.
Usually avoid popular stuff ever since childhood when everyone seemed to love Friends and Buffy, but I just hated them, and didn't trust anyone that liked them neither. The lowest common denominator has consistently proven awful. But times are different now, things can be popular while still being unheard of in other social groups thanks to the tinterwebs. Also that tendency from childhood meant I missed out on good stuff like Muse when they were in their prime just cause their most popular tracks were not their best, so am less avoidant, but not always. So here goes...
Game of Thrones. Literally no interest now too thanks to the entertaining drama around the last season, hah!
The Wire. ...one day maybe, nothing against this one, just find it hard to commit without a partner in watch.
Dexter. Same as GoT, but also prefer Hannibal as it feels classier and more thought provoking.
Nearly all comedies. Am just naturally miserable as default state.
Ted Lasso. Kinda related issue to above.
Ozark. Also one day maybe.
There's definitely loads more but am already starting to hate myself for this post.

Breaking bad(sans the pilot episode. I was wierded out to realize the younger dude on Breaking Bad is the guy who does Todd in Bojack Horseman).
Dexter(sans the pilot episode)
Big Bang Theory(Well, not technically true because my Mother in Law's BF loves it and every time we stay there I'm inevitably in the room while he's watching it but I've never been able to even feign interest).
House
Law & Order
Grey's Anatomy
The Office
Downton Abbey
How I Met Your Mother(sorry, I've seen like 3 episodes of it)
Sopranos.
Friends.
Walking Dead(I thought I'd be interested but then Zombies were EVERYWHERE and I burned out so I never bothered).
Vikings.
I mean, there's like a bunch of shows I watched like one episode and saw no appeal so I guess that's pretty much the same as not watching it.
