I'm not even sure we disagree that deeply on Allegiant. Had I gone in blind and with high expectations, I suspect I would have hated it, but I went in thoroughly spoilered and braced for the worst, so the bad bits didn't really live down to the worst and the whole experience was better for me because of it. Though I still think Roth can't write Four's POV with Tris in the picture for the life of her. Okay, she can every once in a while, but the two stories of his I like were before he met her, go figure.
I loved the Bourne movies more than I expected, and I do recommend them. I got dragged in by a friend's love, of course.
I'm always surprised to meet anyone who does have a horse in that race, to be honest.
And yes, yes, yes about Nashville. That sums it up beautifully. Plus, gorgeous music. Hmm... Somehow my two must-see shows fall into the category of soap opera. I never thought I was that kind of person before. Oops.
