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
There’s a companion website that helps.
Oh man. You definitely missed out. That's one I get thanks for recommending more than any other series.

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.
Really I think they should’ve had the plane debris land on Walter and kill him, ending the show there. It would’ve been a natural and poetic end to his story. I felt like everything after was milking the show, and dragging it on for longer than necessary.
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

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.

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

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. Really good voice actors, can feel the tension and emotions in the voices

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.
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.

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.
It took me a couple of tries to get into it but it gets so good. Between BB and BCS, I think BCS is the better of the two shows, but it does start a lot slower.
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.
Grimdark stuff is just so infantile. It's not "realistic and gritty" to have every single character cuss a thousand times per episode and be constantly in and out of clothes
