Breaking Bad because of the color tone. I don't like desert environments and they leaned into that hard.
Most recently, Yellowjackets and White Lotus. I watched the first 2 seasons of Yellowjackets because the premise was interesting, and I wanted to see what happened (how the rescue happened) but it turned into a hate watch for me by the end of the second season. It all felt pointless and super depressing with no moments of hope or levity at all. The introduction of random supernatural elements and magic felt like they were drifting into Lost territory, and I couldn't force myself to watch the third season after that.
White Lotus I tried rewatching because everyone seems to love it but I could never get past the first episode in the first season, everyone was so unlikeable and awful or totally ridiculous that I couldn't stomach spending more time with them.
You made the right choice with yellowjackets, season 3 sucks just as much as season 2

Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?
-
A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.
-
Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.
I agree fully with black mirror. It should have been just the one season and it could have been one of the greats but being "anti capitalist" on season 7 is a bit of a kettle and pot situation
Black mirror started hard.
I got so many recommendations from people to watch it. So I light it up during a full flight. Wasn't sure how graphic the ending would be, turned it off, never watched it again.
Dark.
First season was decent, but after a certain point the cognitive load required to keep track of the timeline(s) and character relationships just made it feel exhausting and not fun to watch.
Big Bang Theory
Same here. I always felt they were making fun of my fellow nerds and geeks as opposed to celebrating our intelligence and quirkiness. The writers obviously got the humor and nuance but chose to poke fun so that the rest of the world could laugh at it. I mean I understand why but I didn’t really like it for that reason.
I didn't even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.
Laugh tracks always make me feel like I'm being programmed.

Big Bang Theory
The trilogy of "wtf is wrong with those people"
Hannibal
I enjoyed Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs, but I just couldn't get over how hamfisted the series was with the whole "It's gory, but isn't it bEaUtIfUl?!" thing. I don't normally like using the word "pretentious" as criticism, but I can't think of any other word to describe it.
Masked Singer.
Panelists after every song: OMG that was unbelievable! That singing blew me away! Greatest singing in the history of music! I'm a changed person! Thank God I lived to witness this incredibly amazing performance!
Audience members: [gasping, staring in disbelief, open-mouthed amazement, verging on tears]
The Walking Dead. Felt more like the Talking Dead, the pacing was far too slow for me and it didn't seem like much was happening.
I gave up in the first episode when a pair of cops drew their firearms, and the one said to the other "safeties off". And the other cop just brushes the slide release because he was holding a Glock, which famously does not have a safety. I just couldn't take it seriously after that.
Westworld. I started watching it twice, and both times I thought it was really good until I ran out of patience about not knowing what the hell was going on.
The show was good but so hard to follow. Every time I'd watch an episode, I'd have to watch the Alt Shift X video to explain wtf I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/@AltShiftX/search?query=westworld
Having just completed rewatching the series, I completely understand.
It really requires binging an entire season over a few days in order to properly track, especially given that the story is told across a number of different periods of time - and it doesn’t truly become apparent until the last few episodes what is meant to have occurred when.
I can’t even figure out how I was able to keep up with it when it was coming out episodically! I probably didn’t.. 😬
The Mandalorian
Noped out after season 1. They revealed his face during a filler episode, during a boring scene, instead of waiting an episode or two longer for the real gut punch reveal at the end of the last episode.
It was stupid. It killed what would have been one of the best face reveals in cinema history. I had no patience for the show after that. Almost didn't bother finishing the rest of the season. I don't really care what their reasons were. Contractual. Whatever. Don't care.
