There's a reason for that. Frank Darabont was the director who made season one great. After season one's strongly positive reception, AMC decided that they wanted to double the episodes, hack the budget, and then halfway through season 2 they let Darabont go and replaced him with some piss poor other director who couldn't hold a candle to Darabont. YMS does a great job explaining it and shitting mightily on AMC.

Breaking Bad
Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.

Banshee. There's only so many times you can watch a guy get the absolute piss bashed out of him
Game of Thrones. Just couldn't get into it.
The last two seasons completely destroyed the show for me. I literally felt betrayed and have no intention of ever watching it again.
It's truly unbelievable how we got a masterclass in turning gold into a huge steaming pile of shit.

Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore
I felt similar to you, but the past two seasons really helped bring it into it's own. I highly recommend trying again. A struggle in seasons 3-5 but it comes back around I promise.
Big Bang Theory
Same here. I always felt they were making fun of my fellow nerds and geeks as opposed to celebrating our intelligence and quirkiness. The writers obviously got the humor and nuance but chose to poke fun so that the rest of the world could laugh at it. I mean I understand why but I didn’t really like it for that reason.
I didn't even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.

I've been called "Sheldon" for my autistic traits in a degrading manner. The show plays autism for laughs plenty of times, and also ridicules the "nerds" all the time for no reason. It's like a bunch of self proclaimed high school "jocks" wrote it

Squid Game.
Bring on the down votes, I don't care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it's somehow hilarious.

Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.
Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.
It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.
Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Friends
How I met your mother
Big Bang Theory
The trilogy of "wtf is wrong with those people"
Bazinga.
The sopranos. I got halfway through season 2 and decided I just didn't give a shit about finishing it.
I feel like it was a show that was greatly helped by the once a week group viewing era.
Most recently, Yellowjackets and White Lotus. I watched the first 2 seasons of Yellowjackets because the premise was interesting, and I wanted to see what happened (how the rescue happened) but it turned into a hate watch for me by the end of the second season. It all felt pointless and super depressing with no moments of hope or levity at all. The introduction of random supernatural elements and magic felt like they were drifting into Lost territory, and I couldn't force myself to watch the third season after that.
White Lotus I tried rewatching because everyone seems to love it but I could never get past the first episode in the first season, everyone was so unlikeable and awful or totally ridiculous that I couldn't stomach spending more time with them.

Walking Dead, House of the Dragon
Stranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.
The walking dead. A good show with high production value I will admit.
But I found it to be souless morbid and honestly disgusting.
The Walking Dead. Felt more like the Talking Dead, the pacing was far too slow for me and it didn't seem like much was happening.

Dark.
First season was decent, but after a certain point the cognitive load required to keep track of the timeline(s) and character relationships just made it feel exhausting and not fun to watch.
Damn, I'm the complete opposite. The tightly knit and well-thought-out, dense story telling felt very compelling to me. It felt refreshing to see a show that trusted its audience to keep up with it instead of spoon feeding the information to you. Not many shows/movies do that nowadays.

Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.

Most of the adult animated shows (Rick and Morty, inside job, ect.) they're like a 15 year olds idea of what adults are.
Dr. Who
All of them
300+ posts and I only see about 13 or so, time for a new instance I think. Does lemm.ee really censor so much or is it my client.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).
