    A long time ago I gave up on the wire at season 2 episode 1 because I thought there was no way the shipping port story could be interesting.

    I’m only just correcting that mistake now.

    Good girls(wife watched it,I endured it). Every episode: we need money,do something stupid. Consequences arise “WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!”. Essentially this. Plus the lead keeps asking the gang leader why hes doing this to her,all the above is every. single. episode. (I think they end up a thing by season 3 or so). Twilight was a better love story.

    Couldn’t watch past the first episode Sons of Anarchy because I realized it was just trying to portray absolute morons as how they fantasize about actually being.

    Stopped watching Breaking Bad after the first episode because that Walter White was such an unsympathetic jerk and I didn’t want to spend any more time with him. Fortunately, someone made me change my mind later 😃

        Stopped about episode 3 because he just threw money at everything. No real action,just 1 fist fight per show,no calling in owed favors from the family,just basically a fatcat throwing money at everything. Plus he was trying to date the FBI agent investigating him. Just a soap opera. Nothing more that I saw.

    Everyone was too good looking. It was just too unrealistic. There was no reason for every character to be pretty.

    The Foley Artists/sound editors felt we needed to hear people chewing when it has no role in the larger story. There was no need for me to hear every mouth sound of someone eating on the Sopranos for example.

    I finally got around to doing a full watchthrough of Key & Peele after only catching the occasional sporadic episode back in the day, and ended up stopping halfway in because my copies of the first two seasons were uncensored, but the only copy of Season 3 I could track down was still censored, and I found myself unable to abide the incessant bleeps while knowing full well that a world sans bleep was out there somewhere.

    I’ve also given up on more shows than I care to admit because they switched streaming services and I forgot which episode I left off on.
