Vikings. It started off okay. I just wanted to see vikings do cool viking stuff. But it became a drama about Christianity taking over, which might be historically accurate, but didn't interest me at all. I straight up didn't like any of the characters at a certain point.

Handmaid's Tale.
Never got through even a single episode.
Would it be worth it? Is there vindication or is it just endless boring patriarchy?
Walking Dead. There's like several shows and a dozen seasons each, although I actively avoided it since it started about, not into zombies shows.
Squid Game, never really like dubs and just didn't get into listening Korean yet.
I thought Handmaid's Tale was absolutely amazing. Really felt like I was witnessing late stage america with its path towards a christo fascist future
Yeah, but like, I watch shows to escape from the brutal crutch of reality.
Like Star Trek. Or something set in the past.
There's a whole bunch or drug shows I haven't watched which people think I would like, because I advocate for the legalisation of drugs. But that's exactly why I don't like them; they show the shitty reality that would be so easy to change.
Oh I never watched "man in the high castle" either. Well a lot of S1 but got bored of it.

American Horror Story
Game of Thrones, the Expanse, Breaking Bad
For Breaking Bad: If you can get over Skyler White it's really good towards the end.

Rick & Morty. Then the whole szechuan sauce thing happened and I can't look at any content from that show without cringing. LOOK GUYS IM PICKLE RI-stop please it's not funny.
The "community" is insufferable, but the show is solid. You might like Solar Opposites. The wall substory is amazing. Really good voice actors, can feel the tension and emotions in the voices

I initially found that show a bit interesting, but I found myself feeling more and more cringey about what the show was churning out. I outgrew the whole thing just as the sauce thing was happening
It later became well known what an actual piece of shit Justin Roiland is, and I felt pretty glad not to have been stuck in that fandom still feeling like his work was of any importance to me.

Is there even still any Rick and morty fans left in the wild? After the whole case against one of the voice actors I never see them around too much anymore.
I like Rick and Morty, but I have enough self awareness to know that Rick is not a role model.

Justin Roiland wasn't just the voice actor for Rick, Morty, and various other roles, he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of the show alongside Dan Harmon. The whole thing is very much Roiland's baby, and even after it came out that he's an abuser and predator and the show fired him it continues to be his celebrated legacy.
Fuck that guy and his stupid show.

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.
I watched Supernatural one or two seasons too long. The first five were great all around and then it got weird.
First season (or two even) of Parks & Rec is not at all representative of the rest of the show.
