Prison Break season 1
Spoiler:
First 2 seasons of Chuck would satisfy those needs.

Action, comedy, cheese, but with enough heart that makes you care about all of the characters.

Stop at the end of s2 as it serves as a finale and 3-5 aren't anything special.

I'm rewatching the walking dead, and it's shocking how awful the lead actor is, the guy who plays Rick. his southern accent is absurd

agreed walking dead is awful

early episodes were very well put together with strong plots that made you forget or forgive how bad the acting was by some of the actors

then you begin forgiving some of the major gaffes

like when they get to the farm it's been over a year of the apocalypse, but then they have a scene of rick making a sandwich with nice soft fluffy bread - he doesn't pull it out of a wonder bread wrapper, but he may as well have - just absurd how such perfectly shaped and sliced soft and bleached white bread like it came out of a wonderbread package was available

and i can't even find pics or video of it because apparently there's a ton of much more famous sandwich scenes in the show



like they stopped caring about world building, they really wanted to show rick being able to have a sandwich again for the first time in a year and then just give him off the shelf bread instead of having him use bread that was clearly sliced off a loaf they baked themselves

and then from there on out that would continue

i got as far as the sanctuary/hospital plotline and then gave up

some people convinced me to stick with it so i began resuming it from there a few years back, hated every minute and then after a few negan episodes i was like "ok i just can't do this anymore" and finally quit again

I also like how if they scratch you then you'll turn into a zombie, but you'll be fine if you have several open wounds and repeatedly wrestle around with zombies and just bleed all over each other in your open wounds. just don't get scratched! lol

Those are both quite believable and would not quite the top 10 least plausible things in TWD.
