To the point where you had to just stop. Not necessarily poor quality, but just not interesting.

    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.

      I thought it was awful until I read the books. They introduce you too fast to too many characters and don’t give you the chance to get interested in any of them. Once I knew all the characters from the books it was fun to watch (though beer helped as well)

    Friends. It was like Seinfeld, but without acting, writing, humor or staying power.

      The plot for each season was the same: a lie meant to protect somebody ended up harming them and they found out anyway. Once I realized that, it definitely got less entertaining.

    Supernatural, but only after the sixth season (?). At first it was an entertaining monster-of-the-week show that used creatures from all religions and cultures, and then it devolved into being a Christianity focused war against angels and demons and I lost interest when that’s all it became about.

      My guess is season 8ish because Ben Edlund, creator of The Tick was writing for the show from season 2 to season 8.

    Star Trek: Voyager

    Don’t really remember why but it just could not keep my interest. I think I tried a couple times.

      Season one was entertaining enough that I enjoyed it despite the writing, but good god season two the writing was so much worse.

    So many people raved about Downton Abbey, but I couldn’t get through any of it. Extremely dry and also just made me mad about wealth inequality

    Smallville. Each ep felt like 3 hrs, and not in the good way. Just to get to the end where Lex asks Clark a direct question, Clark lies to his face, and I hope to all the gods that THIS is the one where he just screams “FUCK YOU!” and stabs him in the eye with a shard of kryptonite.
