Personally I enjoy GF but I seriously hate how the paranormal just became common for comedic effect. You had Dipper go out with Manotaurs and become some wild Tarzan-esque character in a joke episode dedicated to Hirsch coping about being a twink. You had massive revelations which would have had narrative sense in any good show be taken as meaningless gags. And of course Weirdmaggeddon was a total shitshow, especially the fucking anime fight scene which I did not expect from a Twin Peaks style show.

>The lines are dreadful; the characters were terrible.
I liked some of the characters. Dipper, Stan, Soos and Pacifica all had good moments occassionally, though often subverted by shit humor. Mabel was fucking unbearable and a twat (don't give me that "she's only 12!!" excuse when Dipper basically acts like a 27yo), Ford was wasted because the manlet wanted to rush the show to avoid a final season and his adventures in the Journal 3 real copy fucking suck, most other characters were pointless except for their singular role (Wendy's the badass action girl who Dipper has a crush on, Robbie is the emo romantic rival, Gideon is the creepy evil kid who turns out to be secretly good, yadda yadda). It got quite dull by the end, especially with Hirsch wastng time on pointless episodes like the D&D or the roadside attractions ones instead of on better lore.

Though tbf GF is nowhere near the level of asinine bullshit that Rick and Morty is. R&M is so much infinitely worse and a massive insult to Back to the Future and all the classic films and books it parodies
