westworld got thru season 1 and bailed enthusiastically.
the expanse, season 1 and half of 2. Really wish I would have liked it but it just didn’t grab me.

Ditto on Westworld.

How did the Expanse not grab you?

Sleepy Hollow just couldn't hold me after the second season. I am not sure how many seasons it went.

Damn, both of those (WW and Expanse) are ones that I have on my extensive list to one day watch.


One for me is Parks and Rec. Got through about 4.5 seasons or so I think, and just fell off on watching it. I didn't even dislike it really, it just wasn't great and eventually felt like a chore to keep watching. So I just slowly watched less and less until I stopped altogether. I keep wondering if I will ever get back into it, but I doubt it.

TWD is another one. I absolutely LOVED that show and watched it for years. Spoilers...








But one Rick was gone, I quickly lost interest, and the show just seemed to get worse and worse. So looking at a list of episodes, I made it about nine and a half seasons before I bailed.

Pretty much the ones already mentioned, but I'll add Vikings to the list. Quit after Ragnar died.

Westworld

Last season of Man in the High Castle (I may go back and finish, but didn't like it after the first episode - starting to feel like a LOST ending.)

I'm not current on The Expanse, either. Not having a warm and fuzzy based on the trailers. Probably still will finish it - I like the characters as much as any show since Firefly. (That's the problem with Westworld - I eventually came to dislike every single character - that's rough to overcome.)

(ETA: I quite SOA after 1 episode )

I’m with you. Most of the first 3 episodes were big time cringe. Fourth episode is when it really got good for me.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate and down votes...but "Succession". I LOVE Brian Cox and it kills me that I just can't get into this show. Every time I look at Ken, I think of the alien from Mac & Me.

Designated Survivor - It should have been a mini series, not a full blown multi season show.

The Blind Spot - Wanted to like it, but it was aweful.

Bones
CSI (Vegas edition)
NCIS

Glad someone else said The Expanse. By all rights I should have loved it but most of the characters were just okay and every episode was just way too dark (visually I mean, you can't see shite).

I got through the first three seasons in about two weeks and just lost it halfway through season 4 about one episode per month.
