re: Do you ever just lose interest in a show for no reason even though you like it?

Vikings was the only one on that list that I watched and I am glad to say I finished the series. Quite a saga.

30 Rock.

The wife and I never watched it during its network run. We started doing a full series watch a few months ago -- we like it and find it funny, but there are several points where we've just sort of lost interest, found another show and watched it all the way through, and then sort of found ourselves giving 30 Rock another try. We've done that about 7 or 8 times in the last few months.

The Expanse.

Loved it. Got to about the start of season 3 I think and just stopped watching. Just not enough hours in the day sometimes.

i really liked the first season of "the Americans" on FX. For some reason, just lost interest about 3 episodes into the 2nd. Only show i ever gave up on after 1 season. from what ive heard though, seems i need to finish it.



I did the same thing. I stoped about half way through season 2. I ended up picking it up again a few years later, and I’m glad I finished it. One of the few great shows that has a solid ending.


Shows like Vikings and Blacklist I just stopped watching all of sudden.

Most recent example for me is probably Mr Robot and The Boys

Life gets busy. But there's also a problem with there being too many good shows out there. For instance, my most recent binge was Rome. It was really good, but that show is 20 years old.

Too much good television to watch and not enough hours in the day to binge through all of it to completion.

This happened with several shows over the years. Sometimes it’s a show my wife and I watch together and we get on a kick for something else. Months later we realize we hadn’t watched the other show in a while but can’t figure out where we left off.

I never finished Hell on Wheels and I always liked it. But I was like damn Bohannon it's time to settle down man.

I’m really struggling to watch The Expanse’s new season. Love the show, but I keep putting it off for other things.

Getting to season 4 and the focus on their daughter and her church caused me to stop. I never went back

I’m in the Walking Dead group too. I binged the first season on Netflix and the wife and I pretty much were on point through the prison season. After that, I found myself not getting excited anymore. Had to force myself to keep watching. I stopped when Negan showed up and haven’t watched since.

The Walking Dead for me. It became more of a soap opera than about staying alive and killing zombies.

Same here with Cobra Kai. Loved the first 2 seasons but the 3rd just didn’t do it for me

I started thinking.. “they are this serious about karate schools?”

Became very cheesy to me

I never watched the last season of Justified. I blame binging.

The Punisher. I actually like it, but just forgot I was watching it. Then I noticed season 2 came out and started watching again...then just stopped. Still have it on my list but always scroll past it.

I love the Black list and have watched every available episode.....but it is wearing on me. They need to payoff some the damn teasing they have built up. Like who the hell is the person playing Reddington. I have come to believe its actually her mother that became a transexual!




The Blacklist needs to pay off and soon. The whole "who is Raymond" was old a few seasons ago. It is like The Mentalist with "who is red john?". After a while you just don't care.

My wife and I used to watch NCIS and NCIS New Orleans. They are so repetitive now we just quit.


One show that we didn't want to end. The Good Place.
4 great seasons. It didn't get old.

Another... Fleabag. It was great, but only 12 total episodes. I guess less can me more.

I'm quickly losing interest in Star trek discovery because at every turn it's two gay people, or transgender people, it's like they forgot that heterosexual people exist.

Same. Characters became boring. Just didn't care about it anymore.

I finished this series, but good god it got progressively worse with each season. Once it was revealed who the man was, the entire series took a nose dive.
