This is 100% an unpopular opinion that in no way is meant to shit on the TON of people who love it, but...
Game of Thrones. I love medieval dark fantasy and some well written political intrigue. I've been told by so many people how much I would love GoT. The ingredients are all there.
But then I try to watch it, and get bored every time. Not really sure why - seems like a guaranteed hit... but the hook just never sinks in.
I watched all of Game of Thrones but what bothered me from the start was how they ended every episode with a cheap cliffhanger which was resolved quickly in the next episode and had very few significance. The speed of that episode mostly picked up at the end again only to achieve the next cliffhanger.
