I haven’t watched the show yet but it is on my watchlist.

I’m surprised Tim Burton is disliked on here as I have seen a lot of negative comments about his work. His version of Batman was by far my favourite and I genuinely find those movies tedious to watch. Also really enjoyed Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride.

I think the general perception of tim Burton is he did a lot of great great things in the 20th century. Not much in the last decade or so.

As another comment said, I think most people would agree that most of his work through 2009 was good to great, maybe with a movie here or there being excluded (His Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is dogshit imo). But then he's just had basically all misses from 2010 forward. And not like, near misses, they are basically all awful. The only exception in that time period is the frankenweenie remake/extension.

From what I understand from Netflix's The Movies That Made Us, Tim Burton didn't really have much to do with nightmare before Christmas but got a lot of the credit. I think he just has a unique drawing style and people like his characterization as a somewhat twisted individual. But I bet he just slaps his name on things nowadays.
