Game of Thrones - I'm not good with seeing sexual violence and it felt like it was happening every five minutes.

My Dress up Darling - I understand why people would like it, but I don't understand why it was so huge. But I'm getting old.

Beastars - my friend and I watched it in one day and it just didn't do anything for us. I found most of the characters kind of a annoying.

My Hero Academia - I mean this in the best way possible, but I could see myself loving this if I was a kid.

Mushoku Tensi - I know people love this one. I watched the entire first season and I found the protagonist so revolting. I didn't care that he was a cute kid now and gets better and what have you, I thought he was gross.

Friends - I could never get it. I found it boring and unfunny.

Stranger Things - I actually really enjoyed the first season, but I got tired of the kids as they got older. It felt like it was shifting into a teen drama and I found myself skipping through it before I let it go.

YOU - Weird guy stalks a girl. Glad someone enjoys it, but I got tired of it real quick.

Breaking Bad. Just lost interest half way through.

I made it one episode. Extremely well done show about a tragically terrible flaw of American society that frustrates me daily. Didn't need a reminder of how terrible things are.

Same. Walt is an unlikeable person making bad decisions. I grave up after season 1.

I agree with a lot of the shows listed. I loved TWD but after the Negan stuff, I was so incredibly bored that I gave up, couldn't get into Parks and Rec. Tried 3 episodes before deciding it wasn't for me, etc.

But the one show I haven't seen listed yet is Supernatural. I was obsessed with that show for the first 5 seasons (which was how many the show creator wanted it to go on for) and then it just became so unbearable and ridiculous that I completely gave up by season 7. This one died, but not really. This one died and got brought back - 3 times. This one swapped bodies. This character is actually this character, but SIKE! it was THIS character all along!

Give me a break.

Then it went on for like 8 more seasons and I just cannot fathom that.

First season (or two even) of Parks & Rec is not at all representative of the rest of the show.

Sons of Anarchy

It's basically a soap opera. Over the top and with no real direction. The writers were pretty much making it as they go using all the old tricks to keep you hooked.

I watched it until season 2. Before I started watching the season finale I realized I didn't care how it ended and just dump it.

Walking dead. The opening episode is so fucking stupid and poorly written. People were just desperate for any zombie show at the time.

I even asked a fangirl why they watch this shit ass show. She agreed it was shit but says she kept going cause your brain forgets the bad bits and remembers the good.

Better Call Saul. I tried, i truly tried, but i just couldn't get through the first few eps. It was super shit.

Amerikans.

Like really y'all that addicted to the honey‽ Everybody is fucking everybody and only the two main characters know and can talk about it?

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

As much as I tried to get into it, I couldn't get myself into Game of Thrones.

If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

  • La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
  • Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
  • Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
  • Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

Ooh, me too. I got more than one season on my second attempt, but I'm honestly not sure how much more. Definitely didn't get through 3 full seasons. I enjoyed it, but...just not enough to go out of my way to keep watching it.

I stopped watching the Big bang theory around season 3.

And I think I've only seen one game of thrones episode...
