Television

The Walking Dead. A friend kept telling me how great the show was, but it never really sounded like anything I would find interesting. Sure enough, when I agreed to check it out, it was just so... boring. I couldn't get past the first episode because nothing interesting was happening, despite trying on 3 separate occasions to do so. Finally had to tell my friend that I wouldn't be trying again.

The wheel of time. I'm a huge fan of the book series, but that show was a travesty. They threw away large swaths of the story so that the show runner could write his own fanfic. I really wanted to like the show, I gave it multiple chances but it just wasn't the wheel of time as written by Robert Jordan. It's a shame because we probably won't ever get a decent adaptation, at least not in my lifetime.

Obi Wan. Mandalorian was a little disappointing but cool and zeitgeisty, Boba Fett was worse, then the Obi Wan show was just unwatchable. Which is weird because Andor was so much better than it had any right to be.

I'll probably will be killed for this but it was breaking bad for me. Just so slow and boring. Could see where it was going miles ahead and Walt just kept making dumb decisions which pissed me off. Probably the point of the show or something but I really didn't like it.

I know this will be unpopular but Three Body Problem was so attrociously reductive about basic aspects of humanity and what motivates people that I couldn't stand it. It is a show entirely about aliens and automatons, there are no humans in it just mystery thriller tropes shambling around in a poor immitation of life.

House of Dragon. The first season was great when Miley Alcott played Rheanary, (sp?). When she wasn’t around the show was so dull. Season 2 was terrible. It just went nowhere. I am done with it.

Rings of Power. Holy fuck the number of clumsy shitty scenes and story points in this show is out of control. Amazon has dumped close to one billion on the show and the writing is dogshit. I did s1 and s2e1 and I am just done with that crap.

The Stand (2020). OMFG.. The only way I can describe how bad it is, is that a committee decided to take everything great in the book, throw that out and replace it with something else. Some of the casting was good and but the actors just had no chance. It is almost an achievement in how bd the show is.

95% of all the shows listed came out in the last 5 years. Interesting trend, that.

I'll break the mould with Sons of Anarchy. It's just so hokey. The crappy music, the dorky "fight" choreography, the annoying characters.... Hard pass.

I might get downvoted for this, but Breaking Bad. I made it into the second season, constantly annoyed at how massively unrealistic and terrible these people were to each other. People kept telling me it would get better later on and that I should stick with it, but after that failed to materialise I just gave up.

I’m sure there’s worse, but the most recent one I can remember is Alien: Earth. I was forcing myself to finish it halfway through the season. The plot moves forward by way of people being stupid. I get that someone has to make a mistake (if not by malicious intent) to trigger events, but to have it used every single time something needs to happen is annoying. And it doesn’t help that the characters involved in the series are supposed to be geniuses, scientists, and engineers. Also, the facility of a trillion dollar company securing alien species has worse security than your typical office building.

Rings of Power and the ATLA live action remake.

Kind of not answering the question but I still feel it applies.

The whole premise of Suits was bullshit and meant while I enjoyed the show I was constantly getting pissed off by the "Mikes Secret" storyline.

Definitely one of the most prestigious law firms in New York, Almost certainly the country and known worldwide is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER going to knowingly hire someone without a law degree and allow them to practice law not even if that man is the smartest legal mind alive.

Foundation. holy shit. what a trash heap.

the visuals are great though. maybe i'll cut out all closups of actors and use it as animated wallpaper or something.

The Mayfair Witches.

Interview with the Vampire is fantastic, and AMC paid a lot of money for all of Anne Rice's IP, but Mayfair was doooogggggshiiiiiit.

Still hyped for IwtV season three, though.

Gilmore girls, back when it was airing I had a reason to record the airings and check the quality and it was like if you designed a show specifically about nothing I can possibly care about.

Under The Dome. Terrific Stephen King epic, with a huge cast of characters, including one of his best villains, and I was really looking forward to the series.

It opened okay, and they did a good job of showing the Dome coming down, but a few episodes in they introduced some weird supernatural nonsense that didn't exist in the original, and I was out.

It really pissed me off. It was a great story, all they had to do was tell it, but they had to get "creative" and fuck it up.

Invasion on AppleTV.

I watched the first season all the way through. It’s like there’s a good idea there somewhere but I think the characters all pissed me off making stupid decisions and, I think, a lot of dumb plot choices.

I don’t really remember much other than being mad because it seemed like it could have been good but it just wasn’t and I kept going with it.

I’m surprised it got more than one season.

Well I made it through it's abysmal season 2 so I didn't check out, but Helix from SyFy might take the cake for me as far as time wasted (on season 2). I liked season 1 quite a bit but in typical SyFy fashion of 15 years ago or whenever it was they had paid for season 1 and then waited to see how it did before deciding to purchase season 2. By that time a lot of the actors had moved on and I'm guessing a lot of the creative talent behind season 1 as well and season 2 was a shark jumping affair from the get go.

Firefly

There are worse shows, but this was one of the first where I should have liked everything about it, but instead I hated the campiness.

True blood. I knew some people who were just obsessed with it and I watched a lot of it and just couldn’t stand it.

What was that underwater SciFi series that had that Jaws guy as a captain?

Edit: it was Sea Quest

The witcher.

Wtf

The Willow one. Very by the numbers and nostalgia bait on one hand while throwing out a bunch of things from the original on the other.

The Studio

Probably an unpopular opinion but even after watching the entire 1st season of Welcome to Derry I don't think I'd watch season 2, season 1 didn't really pull me in.
