Originally I posted that I abandoned
Six Feet Under in another thread, and after
jayswin commented that they had experienced the same type of experience (not necessarily the same show) for some unprocessed reason I thought this might be a good thread.
Which TV series or franchise did you just give up on, and why? This is likely to be a spoiler type of thread, so please be considerate of any storyline or point in a series that might...well, spoil something for someone newly or currently invested in a series.
For me:
Six Feet Under: I don't why I stopped watching. I totally enjoyed every aspect of the series, but I just stopped watching around the late season 3, early season 4 mark. Don't remember. As I mentioned in the "I need a new TV series to get into" thread, I recently re-started the series as something to watch while working out, and it has one of the most outstanding pilots I have watched. It's also renowned for one of the best series finales.
The Walking Dead: The biggest complaint of this series even before I hit the 'eject' button was that it was locked into a perpetual indecision of where it wanted to go, so much that it repeated the same storylines. I gave up on the series [DON'T OPEN THIS IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH THE SERIES]...
It just kept being a money sypher with no direction.
The Wire: I gave up and then tried again 4 times. Although I have received some 'fun' feedback from folks on this forum, and I've made my position quite clear, I'll again try the totally awesome and well received take that this is undoubtedly the most over rated and hyped show that has ever existed. The first season is the definition of a brilliant "slow burn" that smashed the finale and set-up a compelling series, then it #### all over itself in following seasons. It's a boring slog that has no place mentioned as the GOAT.
The Wire is a #### series.

So what series or show did you just give up on for whatever reason?
