Stranger Things towards the end of season 2. Ozark after season 1. The Wire at the beginning of season 3. Never watched the last season of Breaking Bad. Lost after the first two episodes.

Let the downvoting begin.

I actually gave up on Breaking Bad during the middle seasons that focused around Chicken restaurant man...


I gave up on Star Wars when that deep voice guy in the dark costume and robot helmet started talking about some space religion.

Arrested Development

Not one character had a single redeeming quality. They were all horrible people in every way.

Show wasn't funny enough for me to put up with that.

How did the Expanse not grab you?


I’m with him on The Expanse. I love the book series but just couldn’t get into the tv series at all.

Homeland
Billions
Weeds
Shameless
Westworld
Stranger Things
House of Cards

For the Showtime shows, I think we quit with only 1 or 2 seasons left of all of them except we quit Shameless with several seasons left

Expanse, everyone keep on saying how critically acclaim it is and being a huge Sci Fi fan i thought I could enjoy it yet...can't get into it no matter how many time I keep on trying to watch it.

Same. I was a huge TWD fan. After Corals end and the advertising Rick's final episodes. I stopped watching weekly. Figure I'll catch up one day.

It's more likely you didn't get the humor. It's amazingly funny and interesting. It's up there all time for me, but I struggled when first introduced with random episodes.

Dexter after S4 (amazing) is mostly meh, but S5 is much better than given credit. You'd think S6 would be great with Adama and Colin Hanks, but this is where it starts to really turn with C-writers and initial interns writing the show.

House of Cards - After season 3
House of Cards is very intriguing to me, but I didn't watch past Spacey's stuff, not sure what season, was that 3?

Handmaid's Tale - lost interest after episode 3
This is actually the most interesting to me. Specifically for this board demographic. There are both great and also terrible things about this show.
