Shows that you stopped watching - Shit that you quit

Steven Universe. I turned it off during the episode about how Ruby and Sapphire met when the gay marriage allegory lost all subtlety history of fusing got too preachy.
Also DuckTales 2017. The first two seasons were fine, then the beginning of the third season casually reveals that one of the new main characters has gay dads and I turned it off immediately.

I love Doctor Who, but when season 11 of the reboot released I bailed. Season 11 and onwards have been awful and I refuse to engage with it in any capacity.

It's been 6 years without a decent Doctor Who season, and I miss it deeply.

I got bored halfway through Twelve’s run and never went back. From what I’ve heard about Thirteen, I left at the right time.

lol, I didn't make it through the second episode. right from the outset it's the most painfully generic shit, my first thought was "this must be the network television effect, maybe the comic is better" but nope, the comic is fucking awful too. I never got the popularity of that series, it's like Lost with zombies, just an endless series of cyclical non-events, it introduces characters of rudimentary substance and tries to charm you into liking them so it can adopt a pretense of being profound and dramatic when it inevitably kills them off. any time I hear discourse about that show it always centers around this or that scene where this or that character dies, or this or that villain who killed one of the characters, like there's literally no other part of the show to actually engage with. it also popularized the nauseating "fan show" accompaniment where some soy fag invites the actors on to drool out a bunch of uninteresting bullshit that's immediately obvious if you actually watched the episode. I guess nigger cattle enjoy the double whammy of having a show that keeps them strung along endlessly and also being explicitly told what their opinion is supposed to be immediately following the show. awful.

I rarely watch shows but when I do, I either bounce off of them immediately or force myself to watch to the end. I came so very close to breaking this rule for Mindhunter because the characters got so insufferable as the show wore on. just about every episode in the second season made me want to reach through the screen and fucking strangle them. I'm glad it got abandoned even though the conclusion was unsatisfying, I don't think I could have endured a third season.

I know this one was cancelled over 10 years ago, but House MD went from the best show ever to mediocre at best some time around the mental hospital arc. That's where I lost interest.

For me the show was out of ideas the second they decided to give House-Cuddy's relationship a real try.
Some couples are only ever meant to be quizzical will they/won't theys, and that was one of them.

These are shows I intentionally stopped watching due to hating how the stories progressed or hating how the characters became.

Psych after season 3
House after season 2
Smallville after season 3
Buffy after season 1

Other shows I just stopped one day and never started again. Not due to any particular reason, just it falling off my radar

Bob's Burgers
Bate's Motel
X-files
Criminal Minds
Star Trek Next Generation

Many of them, but I'll note Simpsons in particular. Didn't like Season 1, then 2-6 were incredible, some of the best TV comedy there ever has been. 7 was still good, then 8 was about 50% good. By season 10, about 25% were decent, and after that you'd have a few good Halloween eps and maybe 1 or 2 good jokes per episode. Stopped totally by season 14 or so.

just tell me you got to the chicanery episode where they both faceoff in a court room.

Admittedly no, I wouldn't have answered if I got there, as I just got sick of Chuck's asinine bullshit. It's like listening to a more schizophrenic Fatrick go on about how right and good that he is while suing everyone who knows the truth.

Better Call Saul had a lot going for it but suffered from being a prequel and after the de-Chuckening the only question was "what will happen to Kim?" which I frankly didn't care that much about.

Yeah it was a real shame. She was a good actress and a good character, but her 'arc' was fucking random. Going from gung-ho Saul supporter wannabe criminal to guilt-ridden do-gooder who hates Saul and all he represents, and then back again. Sometimes in the same episode. I mean, I get it, women are fickle, but damn, she deserved better. Honestly, as a spin-off of Breaking Bad, it would've been MUCH better if she had 'broken bad' and gone down some self-destructive path ending in chaos that Saul has to clean up to wind up at BB episode 1 status.

Instead, she just winds up a clucking harpy, who doesn't even deserve to have her opinion heard since she was almost as involved as Saul was (if not in the actual doing, then in the knowingly motivating). I don't know, just seemed like a huge waste, and this is from someone who actually liked the show. For the most part. Somewhat.

As to OP, I'm going with Fargo. I stopped watching after Season 3, because I don't care about niggers, and I'm not going to pretend that they are interesting.

What We Do in The Shadows. Dropped around Season 3. Felt like the writers ran out of clever ideas for plot lines regarding the main cast being vampires and it just became generic stories you could expect from any other show with the vampire twist seemingly being slapped on like an afterthought.

But man that first season was probably the best TV I ever did see. I'm a scatterbrained retard and I genuinely just kinda forgot there were two more seasons after such an amazing well-wrapped ending to the first.
 
I stopped watching The Witcher during season 3. It was clear that no one involved gave a shit anymore and the script was just word salad with no regard for storytelling, so I peaced out.

Tried watching both The Expanse and Game of Thrones. Legitimately fell asleep through both first episodes of each show two or three different times. Both are just so fucking boring that I don't understand how anyone can sit through one episode, let alone 5+ seasons of this shit.

the show definitely went downhill in the later seasons though i did like House driving a car through Cuddy's livingroom almost killing her and her family.

The Expanse gets so much better about halfway through season 1. I have no idea why the pacing of adapting Leviathan Wakes was such shit. It shouldn't need a season and a half to get done.
