      Yeah I couldn’t stand it, and came to the comments because I was sure it would already be mentioned.

      I stuck through season 1, pretending that the character’s arcs were believable and fast forwarding through some of the brutality, then gave up.

      A friend convinced me to try again, but the seconds time I gave up after the season with the shots of the pool debris at the start. The payoff on that felt cheap and vaguely a violation of chekovs gun. After that I had to tell the friend who wanted me to watch it that I was done and wouldn’t be trying again.

      I didn’t care for Breaking Bad, but I did enjoy “Better Call Saul” up until the last season. 🤷‍♂️

    There is just not a single AMC show I can get into. I don’t know if it’s the style or what but I just none of them work for me.

    the office. the documentary/handheld camera style cinematography is nauseating to watch. see also: parks & rec and similarly-shot titles.

    I tried to watch Downton Abbey with my wife. I can appreciate the acting, costumes, and sets, but I could really not have cared less about the minutiae of the lives of 1910s British upper class and their servants

    Banshee. Went into it expecting something like Justified where it showed small town sheriff stuff but no. It was just flashbacks to before he became sheriff and constant sex scenes.

      I can understand this one. I enjoyed the series enough to go back and read the books, but the acting overall was not great

    The White Lotus. I got 2-3 episodes in and was just bored. None of the characters were likable so I just didn’t care.

    I never could get into The Sopranos, and I don’t think I’ll ever get around to scratching it off my watchlist.

      It took me a very long time before. I finally watched that show a few years ago. I didn’t care for it in the beginning, but towards the middle it got a bit more interesting. I didn’t care for the ending. Overall, it’s not gonna be one of those shows I go back to and binge again and again. But I was glad to at least have seen it once.
