Jujutsu Kaisen, I just thought everyone lacked charisma, I don't feel bad for it since the manga ended at least and opinions shifted.

Better Call Saul for me. It felt like Breaking Bad but playing out at like 25% speed. Also Saul is a whiny bitch, I really lost patience with him when he gets to his "boo hoo being rich isn't fun I don't wanna work at a law firm anymore" phase.

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.
"I JUST WANT TO FUCK MY SISTERRRRRRR"
That was the impression that show left me with
Oh man. You definitely missed out. That's one I get thanks for recommending more than any other series.
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.
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.
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.
Rick & Morty. Then the whole szechuan sauce thing happened and I can't look at any content from that show without cringing. LOOK GUYS IM PICKLE RI-stop please it's not funny.
The "community" is insufferable, but the show is solid. You might like Solar Opposites. The wall substory is amazing
Most of the popular ones. Especially Game of Thrones. As soon as the incestuous couple threw the little boy off the tower, I was outta there. I'm so tired of shows about horrible people doing horrible things.
!So that kid end up basically being the bad guy. Pretty much everyone would have been better off if he died!<
Wait. Brandon? Hmmm....
Huh. I never thought about it like that. I'm not sure that would have been the case though. The starks would have lost their shit a lot faster had he died. I can't remember exactly, but it was one of the brothers or the mom that was like "nahhhh he didn't fall" and then went up the tower and figured it out.
And then, had he died, nobody could've stopped her. Even Ned would've rained hell, esp with Robert there. The only reason nothing immediately happened was BECAUSE he didn't die. And then, he wasn't the bad guy because he basically ended up being the/a good guy for the rest of the show.
Wanna talk about misdirected hate, Jeezzz.
What about "the guy who was cucking the king by fucking his twin sister/the queen and when his secret got discovered tried to murder an innocent kid/royal to cover it up with no thoughts of the consequences"? Eh? Can't that guy be the bad guy?
So you going to overlook the Bran, once he got access to his powers proceeded to messed with the brains of people. Hodor for one. The 'mad king' for the other. Of that we were shown.
Or how Bran does jack shit in the big fight, despite being able to.
And then it's made king because... He had the most interesting story...
Countless people died because that little shit manipulated time and events to gain power.
As much as I tried to get into it, I couldn't get myself into Game of Thrones.
