Better Call Saul for me. It felt like Breaking Bad but playing out at like 25% speed. Also Saul is a whiny bitch, I really lost patience with him when he gets to his "boo hoo being rich isn't fun I don't wanna work at a law firm anymore" phase.

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

Jujutsu Kaisen, I just thought everyone lacked charisma, I don't feel bad for it since the manga ended at least and opinions shifted.
Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.

Walking dead. Only season one was good
I couldn’t make it past the first episode, i thought it was a corny tv version of dawn of the dead with no balls. I saw bits of it as my wife was watching but it only got worse and cheesier
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.

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.
You made the right choice with yellowjackets, season 3 sucks just as much as season 2
Yeah I really liked the first season but sort of lost interest... honestly I felt like the whole modern-day arc was a waste of time. I thought they had plenty to work with with a lord of the flies type story just set in the wilderness.

Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?

A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.

Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.
Really I think they should’ve had the plane debris land on Walter and kill him, ending the show there. It would’ve been a natural and poetic end to his story. I felt like everything after was milking the show, and dragging it on for longer than necessary.
Black mirror started hard.
I got so many recommendations from people to watch it. So I light it up during a full flight. Wasn't sure how graphic the ending would be, turned it off, never watched it again.
I agree fully with black mirror. It should have been just the one season and it could have been one of the greats but being "anti capitalist" on season 7 is a bit of a kettle and pot situation
