Because every time I start watching it, it's so fricking unbearably over the top dramatic shit.
It's literally the pagliacci joke reiterated over 6 entire seasons with the Goodfellas chick and Anthony "ayyo Toney, where's the gabagool" Soprano going
"Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Gabagool is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Gabagool.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Doctor gets r*ped. Play the rolling Stones' Thru and Thru. Footage of waves. Cut to black."
What the frick was their problem? Did the writers, directors think that just because it was mobslop (the goyslop version of the 90's) people would just automatically praise it? (And it worked too). But it looks so comedic now.
How is this not seen as an overly melodramatic piece of shit? 
How is this even a top 25 show of all time, let alone compare with The Wire, Chernobyl or Band of Brothers?

Watching and reading about Bardfinn made me change my life
I've been in a rut for the past few years because of a bereavement. Finished college but didn't get a job for a few years. I found some joy in communities like /r/drama because they reminded me of shit like 4chan and hackforums from back in the day.
But one day I was reading a comment by Bardfinn, clicked on his profile and it really made me want to change my life. I saw the next decades of my life flash before my eyes. Smugposting and bullying people who deserve it, but while not improving myself, gradually falling in to bad habits leading to me spending 18 hours a day in front of a computer before dying of DVT. I saw what Bardfinn did with his life and how he's now stuck in it. He won't get a job or ever pay child support because he's stuck in this life and constantly needs to justify it to himself. He's too invested in it to care about anything else. He unironically bragged about spending 80+ hour weeks 'fighting Nazis'. There is no hope for him.
But there was hope for me, and maybe for you too, reader.
Over the last few months I've been lifting again. Made some neat projects. Contributed to projects that interested me. Learned a lot. Got finances in order. Started hanging out with friends irl again. Sometimes I'd go to Bardfinn's profile and not even read, just see the wordswordswords and feel new motivation to apply for jobs. Got a few interviews and currently have two applications that might be my in.
I'm once again a productive member of society with a life, and it feels good.
Thank you for being so unbelievably and depressingly pathetic that you indirectly motivated me out of a rut through the fear of becoming anything like you, you wife beating, abusive, child support dodging c*nt.
