I don't think that's rude. It's just a show. Did they make it? No, so why be upset by your opinion.
People can get pretty upset when someone insults their favorite movie or TV show or bad talks it. I see that a lot on IMDB.
I guess that's either they think that the critic doesn't get the show - and is therefore, contemptibly dumb.
Or that the critic is much smarter than them, because they find the show quite intellectually challenging.
Either option puts the critic above or below the offendee in intellect.
And intellectually-challenged people can be notoriously sensitive about having their intellects publically dissed.
A bit of a minefield for most Aspies, who tend to be more analytical and intellectual than NT's of comparable IQ.
Stop me if I'm talking complete balloney here.
