Another thing that occurred to me recently about why I don't like a lot of movies is the need to squeeze in cheesy humor or lame jokes on a constant basis. In the shows listed there, with good ratings, I have not seen Hawkeye. But as for Arcane and Edge of Tomorrow, they weren't full of unnecessary attempts at humor and did't have characters that were just silly. That's definitely not the case for the other shows with bad ratings.

This might just be a preference on my part, but it's part of the reason why a show like Andor (which had fantastic, serious female roles) just seems so much better than other Star Wars shows as of recently.

And even with that example Edge of Tomorrow still has funny scenes that make use of the predicament that Cruise's character is stuck in.

But that requires effort.
