Every year brings its fair share of shows that are dead-on-arrival, and I’m sharing my least favourite shows of 2024. What’s worse, though, is when a favourite show veers off course – I have also shared some shows I’ve loved that just haven’t stuck the landing this year. Orphan Black: Echoes This futuristic show set in the same universe as the hit Canadian sci-fi Orphan Black is a pale imitation of a beloved property.
Everything about this show just doesn’t stick the landing, and it was rightfully cancelled in September 2024 after just once season. Krysten Ritter is a fantastic actress, but couldn’t save this one. Perhaps if they hadn’t tied themselves to Tatiana Maslany show Orphan Black, this could have differentiated itself.
As it stands, it’s not even a fair comparison. The Regime The Regime was a rare HBO MAX miniseries that failed to meet expectations. It both failed as a satire and a political drama, much to the dismay of audiences.
Kate Winslet is fantastic as usual – she earned a Golden Globe nomination recently for the turn – and the supporting cast includes stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Matha Plimpton, Hugh Grant and Andrea Riseborough. It unfortunately just didn’t connect, and the story of a crumbling authoritarian government didn’t have the strength to set itself apart. The Acolyte A show that began in a promising fashion soon became a farce too boring for regular audiences and alienated Star Wars faithful.
It was one of the most derided s.
