The Walking Dead (Series, 74 episodes)
The length of one episode is ~43 minutes, which means the total viewing time is over three thousand = fifty hours. Just think about it, fifty hours—more than two full days—I spent watching this series. I watched the first three seasons a long time ago, back when only the third season existed, but just the other day I finished everything filmed up to today (+2.5 seasons).
Main thoughts regarding this series:
People are idiots. That is the only way the plot of this series can work, because if the characters had even a little bit of brains, there would simply be nothing to film—90% of the content would have to be cut (and the number of survivors would increase by exactly that much).

Unfortunately, the consumer has forgotten how to tell shit from non-shit

The plot is largely ridiculous and absurd. This is mostly evident in various small details—not only the moronic actions of the characters, but also a general lack of thought in everything possible. Many elements are used exclusively "for the sake of the scene." One of the simplest examples of this: there is a theme where, in this setting, you can cover yourself (clothes, face) in zombie guts (dead flesh, blood, etc.), in which case the "living" zombies will not pay attention to the person. The characters of the series know about this, and some of them have used this method a couple of times. But for some reason, throughout all the seasons, they constantly forget about it. Five people are in a building in a small town; a HUGE horde of dead is wandering the town; there are only two dead zombies in the building itself; the zombies are not breaking into the building; among the survivors, one has a shot leg, and another has a dislocated knee; WHAT SHALL WE DO? MM, SHALL WE COVER OURSELVES AND SAFELY WALK THROUGH THEM? NOOOOOOO, WE'LL RUN))).
On top of everything else, one sometimes gets the impression that the "end of the world" and "survival" are pushed to the background, while relationships take center stage (in the first ten minutes of the first episode of the fourth season, kisses from three different "couples" were shown).
Characters
A short assessment of some of them.
Rick Grimes. Seems like a totally normal guy, a LEADER, like he makes the tough calls, protects his friends and family. You want to sympathize with him, but you can't, because despite all his positive qualities, he is a crazed asshole. I don't know if it was intended that way or if the writers just messed up. I'm inclined to believe the latter.
Lori Grimes. Rick's wife, a worthy match for her husband—a crazed slut and a ***ing mother.
Carol Peletier. Commando housewife. What else is there to say? She annoyed me throughout the first seasons, but by the seventh, I began to feel better about her. The character concept didn't become any better because of this, though.
Michonne. The cherry on top of the whole series: a f***ing black samurai hacking zombies with a katana (not only would the sword wear out very quickly, but she also swings it like some kind of stick).
Philip Blake. Just like Rick—crazed. Although in this case, it doesn't look so bad, because the character was designed that way. The acting is not bad and is perceived more or less normally (his filler episodes were much better against the backdrop of the main "prison plot"—pouring water from one empty vessel to another).
Hershel and Maggie Greene did not leave a negative impression and were perceived more or less normally.
Beth Greene—a dim-witted schoolgirl, #1 hysteric.
Gabriel Stokes. Who would have thought that a Christian priest would be made into a scoundrel, a coward, and... crazed (I use this word often in this message, but it fits many on this list very well).
Sasha. Another nutcase + aims through optics from two meters—you'd even die in online shooters like that, let alone a zombie apocalypse.
Normal folks
Carl Grimes. Son of Rick and Lori. Despite parents like those, he turned out to be a normal kid. Perhaps it's because the boy is growing up in a "new world."
Daryl Dixon. You'd think—the ultimate survivor—but strangely enough, he is written quite well and looks more or less believable.
Abraham Ford. All that charismatic soldier, killing the dead while laughing, afraid of nothing and no one. It's just a pity that they later started adding drama to him as well.
Glenn. There are many moments in the series where characters "try to maintain their humanity," because of which, essentially, most of them just look plain stupid. Glenn, in turn, looks normal (or at least better than the others) in this regard, and is generally a normal fellow.
Rosita Espinosa. Somehow the creators of the series managed to achieve a certain trend—almost all female characters turned out to be either mentally ill or absolutely implausible (ridiculous concepts). Therefore, the main advantage of this girl is that throughout all three seasons she appeared in, she managed to avoid falling into the same category as the other women. Although, perhaps, this is because she didn't have that much screen time.

3.5/10. Worth watching if you have nothing to do, or probably while sitting on the couch with a beer.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
An example of why I don't like long movies. The plot and its development, scenes, moral, characters—I didn't like a-ny-thing at all. I didn't even notice the acting, the soundtrack, or the cinematography against the backdrop of all this throughout two and a half hours.
2/10 .
