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.

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.

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?

Breaking Bad

Prison Break

Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.

The show that this fuck Microsoft clip is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zpCOYkdvTQ

I was set on watching until this quote occurs to get the full suspense and context and comedic relief.... but I failed my goal during episode 2. Cannot suspend disbelief for this one, it's too dumb, makes no sense, most jokes fall flat. It's like they gave Gandalf a clown costume and Frodo acts as though that's normal and we're supposed to be falling off of our seats from that

This is going to sound very hipster, but pretty much anything that becomes super popular is too shallow or lowest-common-denominator to pique my interest. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule I've come to realize.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

That was the show that made me break my sunk cost fallacy relationship with tv.

Ozark. It's super well done but I just got to the point that the violence was just too much.
