+1, same with other forms of art/entertainment.
— Those discussions where people do nothing but rank various works (by arranging them in a horizontal list with lots of greater-than signs) and get rustled when others' tastes don't align with theirs.
— Any art/entertainment "criticism" that provides little more than a value judgment.
— The overuse of the word
pacing, which is quickly becoming the "Correlation does not imply causation" of casual TV/film discussions.
— Likewise, over-nitpicking of plot holes and external consistency.
— The term
character study (as in "[X show] is a character study"). It's like the perfect bite-size representation of that insidious thing where people elevate fiction's "significance" over the experience it provides (or at least are a lot more willing to discuss the former than the nuts and bolts of the latter). Besides, it's such a sterile, clinical-sounding term.
