re: TV shows you started and gave up on

Westworld. Started good and then went completely off track. Frustrating because it could have been great.

The Flight Attendant

Mad Men, six episodes in and got very very bored with it

Designated Survivor
Manifest
Good Girls
Naked and Afraid(more the XL seasons than the regular episodes)

After Season 3 and all my peanut gallery comments to the characters, I recently heard Mrs. Midnight watching some other program and quote me, "Well, just frick fighting from cover, right?"

seal team

they only do like 6-8 shows a season and with no notice skip a week here and there and then throw in 2-3 reruns to the point you cant plan on it being there

now its moved to the plus channel you have to pay to stream it. i loved that show and looked forward to seeing it but you cant depend on it being on. and now its on pay to see shite so its history for me as far as that show

Walking Dead
Schitts Creek
Yellowstone

I was a big fan of The Walking Dead from its inception until Negan beat the tar out of Glen, brutally murdering him in front of his pregnant wife. That was a bridge too far; I bailed and haven't looked back.

I also ditched Shameless (U.S.) after a few seasons. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities; they were all pieces of sh*t.

every episode was just way too dark (visually I mean, you can't see shite).

Sounds like you need a bigger, or maybe just a better, TV.

I've watched most of The Sopranos, but not every episode from start to finish. Tried watching it that way but quit part of the way through Season 2. Part of it is just knowing how many seasons there are.

Same thing with Game of Thrones, except I never have watched it. Got through Season 1 and quit watching because of how many more seasons there are to watch.

I got six episodes into Barry and quit watching because I felt so sorry for him.

Stopped watching Absentia with three episodes left in the series.

Watched Hanna through the first episode of Season 2 and quit watching.

Got almost six minutes into The Knick and couldn't handle the blood and guts in a bowl.

Watched the first five episodes of Farscape and quit it.

Watched the first five episodes of The Americans and stopped. Doesn't feel like the commies will realize they're on the wrong side anytime soon.

I loved Vice Principals, so I tried East Bound and Down. Only watched three episodes and stopped.

All of these are still in my My Stuff, except for The Knick. I'll never try that again.

TWD: It essentially became eventful season premiere, many episodes of nothing, and intense season finale. Rinse and repeat.

Ozark: the complete opposite of TWD, in that every single episode is a cocaine fueled ride of ‘everyone is going to die, but turns out alright’

Vikings: Ragnar’s demise, then lost interest

Westworld: just couldn’t get into it.

House of cards: great show until the second to last season when the writing was on the wall for KS, and they decided to make Underwood extremely uncharacteristic to what they had built up . Didn’t watch the final season.

Mad Men: wife and I got bored with it.

Man in the high castle: despite loving the premise of alternative history shows, couldn’t get into it after trying a few times.

TV shows that gave up on us:
GOT
Rome
Black Sails
Mindhunter (holding out hope that they bring it back)
