I think I made it into Season 3 and finally just gave up. No idea how long it went after, started feeling like it was the same story on constant loop.

I enjoyed Lucifer for a bit, but the last couple of seasons were so bad I just quit.

Westworld - Season 2 sucked
American Gods - Season 2 sucked
Jack Ryan - Right wing dictators in Venzuela
The Boys - An entire episode devoted to Christian-bashing
Ozark - meh
Peaky Blinders - The music just became too distracting
Man in the High Castle - Last season sucked

Fourth episode is when it really got good for me.

I’ve been told this by a few people. Maybe I should try again

The Preacher. I am a huge fan of the comics, and was very excited to get a live action version. But, Seth Rogen did Seth Rogen things, and completely changed the story from the source material. I watched the first season - and it was enjoyable enough for what it was - but stopped watching halfway through the second season when I saw how much they were fricking up the Until the End of the World storyline.

Sons of Anarchy - just too unbelievable that these bikers are like Ocean's Eleven level of smart, brave, virtuous, badass, tech savvy.

Outlander - main character was gorgeous and not afraid to get naked, but the prison rape scene of the guy was just too much. I'm no prude or weak of stomach, but that was just disturbing.

West World - I loved season 1. Struggled through season 2. Heard season 3 was even worse than 2 so I never started it.

Peaky Blinders - I watched the first season I think. Not sure why I stopped, other than I think I wanted to start Justified and ended up never coming back to PB.

Grey’s Anatomy. We watched the first few seasons religiously.

I can’t believe it’s still going.

It was some show that there were just too many murders for such a small town ..maybe Justified.

It has gotten better but there were some really shitty seasons in there.

The one where Alexandria was fighting Negan was surprisingly bad and Rick's character had fallen into a rut so his disappearance was less of a negative for me.

The season directly after that was terribly written and directed; it seemed like the entire season was predicated on slow-motion close-up shots of the characters separated by cliché and boring dialogue.

The last season and this season (so far) has been a lot better. It seems they've actually hired writers that finally seem to be weaving in story elements of the pre-apocalyptic world to build more drama and intrigue in the present timeline. I feel one of the biggest problems with the show is they have too many weak characters/performers that need to be killed off.

I actually gave up on Breaking Bad during the middle seasons that focused around Chicken restaurant man... Came back for final season, however, and it was amazing television

Also, as much as I liked season 1, I just can't seem to get into Season 2 of Ozarks

Westworld - doesn't hold up to other HBO shows
Expanse - never hooked me into the show
TWD - a whole lot of nothing going on
Queen of the South - great in the beginning but became ridiculous
