The show Community. It's not that I think the first season is bad, because it's still really great, however, the show doesn't reach it's true stride until season 2. Which at that point, it becomes one of the best shows that was ever on television. It's always weird to get someone started on that show for me because the first few episodes feel kind of generic, but the heart, humor and characters are all there.

The questions regarding role similarity between Dylan and Rorie have still not been answered... and have, dare I say, been ignored.

@andarthiel: I can understand why people want to boycott the game, but yea, im right there with you, granted its the beginning of the year, but this is definitely in contention for GOTY. Its really gloriously detailed and fun, especially for someone who loves to explore, collect, gain skills and customize. I'm not even into Harry Potter like that, but I just like these types of games. For an open world game I havent gotten bored of playing it yet, Im only taking breaks cuz i dont wanna finish it too early. Playing it on hard and everything. Only problem so far is the frame-rate & frame pacing on PC, but im guessing thats all denuvo. Hopefully it gets leaked so u ppl who dont wanna buy it can pirate it or something, its really that good, but itll probably take a while, what with denuvo and all. Im sure because of the whole controversy it will stay off peoples GOTY lists this year, which is a shame.

So, I'm guessing this is directly addressing me since I'm the one who posted the video. Even though I didn't make the video, I do agree with the sentiment being expressed therein, which, in this forum, seems to have been ignored for the sake of vilifying potential customers and fans of an extremely popular media franchise that they like, because those people may not have the same strong feelings on the issue, but instead just want to play a game that they think looks fun and cool. I have not ignored any arguments on the matter as the quoted above purports, but I also don't feel the need to engage in arguments that will just be ignored by those who simply want to argue. I do not decry anyones opinion, want, or need to personally boycott, or even form boycott groups for greater impact towards their goal of trying to cancel an author who has essentially already been cancelled in the court of public opinion. However, I do not agree with nor tolerate attacks or villainization on people who are not directly attacking a particular group, which has been what has happened since the discourse over this game began. Like the creator of the video, I am black, and if I advocated the types of actions I have seen perpetrated online in response to "potential customers" of this game, towards people who indirectly have supported companies and creators who have spoken or effectuated actual violence on my people, a lot of you choosing to die on this hill, would die on a hill. I have seen support for posts by people in online communities who have said, "I hope that anyone who plays or plans to play Hogwarts legacy unfollows me and dies". This is not the way to gain or foster support for your cause, and actually only serves to galvanize people into opposition of your cause on principle, based on those actions. By all means, have and express your opinions, create your protests and boycotts, but calling out, attacking or doxxing people who may not agree with you, who are not directly harming you, is where the line should be drawn.

this video about sums it up

if the game looks fun, im gonna get it.

Nope

...but i am playing Persona 4 Golden on switch, which is arguably better. That being said, I spent hours upon hours playing multiplayer GoldenEye 64 when I was young lad. I appreciate them re-releasing it though, for archival sake.
