Bad plot/premise makes it more likely I won't give it a chance, bad writing makes it less likely ill enjoy it if I watch it.

I dunno, I think a bad plot/premise could lead to the others occurring. It's like building a house on a shitty foundation. Maybe the actual masonry and framing was done well but you're still going to have issues if the base isn't level or something.

Likewise if a story is built on a stupid premise then the way the characters act or how the story has to take shape ends up having to conform to that, even if there are sparks of good writing found within. Could be written well but you always look at the overarching direction of the story (because it's got that weak underlying plot) and you just can't get into it because everything feels so disjointed at its core.

I can't enjoy myself unless I know the decisions I made were good in the eyes of others.
