re: What show/s did you give up on?

Walking Dead around season 5

Peaky Blinders but it was early and I may give that one more time one of these days

Made it to the third epi of Yellowstone twice but gave up. The prequels were better.

I didn't make it through Negan.

I found him annoying and the fact that Rick and Co never seemed to learn anything in terms of strategy, tactics, etc against the dead or the living got old

Westworld
SOA
Tin Star
Dexter
Shameless
Peaky Blinders

The first time I tried to watch Man in the High Castle I quit on it. This was back when it was free on prime. I kept seeing post on here about how good it is, so when it popped up on the site, I started watching it. Into the 3rd episode I quit watching it because I couldn't figure out what was going on. I left it alone for a couple of years, then decided to watch it again. This time I started with the first season. Yea, that's right, I'd started watching the third season the first time. I was new to it and that's what Prime sent me too. When I got to that season I knew what was going on, after watching the first two seasons. It made complete sense. By the time I finished it, the series was over.

I watched the whole first season of the show about a game warden, Joe Pickett, on Paramount. Couldn't finish the 1st episode of Season 2.

I quit on Episode 6 of Dexter, New Blood. Don't really remember what made me quit it. May need to restart that episode and try again.

I quit on Episode 5 of the Evangel Christian football show, God. Family. Football. Only had one more episode to finish the season.

I watched 2 episodes of Bookie on Max. Never have gone back and cancelled service with them this week.

Thay's another one I just didn't like enough to keep watching. Just didn't like it like some do.

Another one I wanted to watch for the Louisiana locations, but just couldn't get into it.

Recently, The English. I have a screen crush on Emily Blunt, but man oh man she couldn't save it.

1) Bewitched

The second "Darren" ruined the whole "plausibility" factor of the show

2) Lost In Space

Once every single show plot focused on Dr. Smith's weekly fecklessness, screwing with everyone's life and nothing else (while also somehow getting away with accosting 12 year old Will Robinson every episode) I gave up. Eventually the entire premise seemed a bit too silly.

3) Friends

Didn't watch all that often (until Season 9.5) but the whole sordid Joey-Rachel affair and preggo thing made me sorta give up on season 10

BONUS show surrender


The Shield

Once Shane blew up his best bud, Lem, I mean come on -- That was NOT the "camaraderie" I expected. Who wrote that crap? Gave up on the show then and there...

Chyeah, right.

It was un-beleeeevable!! /Bill Walton voice

It’s been mentioned a few times but I’ll mention it again because I’m usually pretty faithful to finish a show out no matter how bad it is - but… Lost.

I think the problem is I started watching it around 2020 or so. I’m sure if I was watching it live weekly with the rest of the world in the 00’s, I could’ve stuck with it.

Babylon Berlin Really happy that I made it through season 1. It's got great production and good actors. If you're into the Mr Robot-film noir genre, you'd probably get a kick out of it. But I just couldn't care less about any of the characters, even after really trying. Kinda felt like you were supposed to just naturally care about the characters because of the background setting (pre-Hitler Germany) or something, maybe...?

Breaking Bad after the fly episode.

This Joe Rogan/Kat Williams interview I'm watching is about to be given up. I don’t care that Kat Williams read Little Women 4 times.
