Breaking Bad
Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore
I felt similar to you, but the past two seasons really helped bring it into it's own. I highly recommend trying again. A struggle in seasons 3-5 but it comes back around I promise.
The sopranos. I got halfway through season 2 and decided I just didn't give a shit about finishing it.
I feel like it was a show that was greatly helped by the once a week group viewing era.
Walking Dead, House of the Dragon
Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.
That was the show that made me break my sunk cost fallacy relationship with tv.
Stranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.
The walking dead. A good show with high production value I will admit.
But I found it to be souless morbid and honestly disgusting.
Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.
Better Call Saul. I tried, i truly tried, but i just couldn't get through the first few eps. It was super shit.
Amerikans.
Like really y'all that addicted to the honey‽ Everybody is fucking everybody and only the two main characters know and can talk about it?
Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it's somehow hilarious.

Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.
It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.
Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Prison Break
Did they ever make it out?
They never truly made it out, even now as I type this, all the producers and writers did was add a tanker load of water to the mix after the second season. I don't think any of the actors truly survived that show. It was one J list movie after the other or a 3 rated supporting role.
Ozark. It's super well done but I just got to the point that the violence was just too much.
Squid Game.
Bring on the down votes, I don't care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.
No downvotes from me. I don't believe the show would be as popular as it is if Korean media wasn't the current du jour.

The show that this fuck Microsoft clip is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zpCOYkdvTQ
I was set on watching until this quote occurs to get the full suspense and context and comedic relief.... but I failed my goal during episode 2. Cannot suspend disbelief for this one, it's too dumb, makes no sense, most jokes fall flat. It's like they gave Gandalf a clown costume and Frodo acts as though that's normal and we're supposed to be falling off of our seats from that
300+ posts and I only see about 13 or so, time for a new instance I think. Does lemm.ee really censor so much or is it my client.
You might have just needed to hit refresh.
I'm on lemm.ee too and I'm seeing hundreds of comments here.
The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).
