We are in an area of television in which you have new shows popping up all the time. After investing time in watching a show, it's kind of hard to drop it, because there is a chance that it will get better. This has happened plenty of times as shows start slow & really pick up. However, sometimes you have to say "fukk it, I can't get into this shyt." There's too many shows that are either high quality or simply entertaining to waste time on shows you aren't feeling.

Remember this is all subjective. No need to bash someone for not feeling a show that you do.

Recent shows I had to drop

House of Lies - I dropped it in season 3. A few episodes in & I just couldn't get into it anymore. It's not a bad show at all, it's just that there are other quality shows out there that I would rather spend my time watching. I may come back to it.

The Bridge - I had to stop after about 3 episodes. I couldn't get into this at all.

Hannibal - I know many are high on this show on here, but I just didn't like it. I actually watches the whole first season. It's a shame, because I really like the character.

Mad Men & Boardwalk Empire

For all the hype these shows get, the episodes sure are uneventful. By the fourth hour long episode I was like :shaq2:.
I didn't have time to appreciate three seasons worth of slow tension building and nuance so I dropped them both :yeshrug:

Orange is the new black halfway through season 2. Shows going nowhere and feels so pointless.



American horror story season 2 halfway through. I hated the first season. It was so bad. Thought id give it one more chance and it still sucked. Probably didnt help i started watching penny dreadfull and that show blows ahs out of the water.
