Yeah, you're wrong, but it's okay have a completely wrong opinion.
Shows I intentionally gave up on:
-Outlander...but my wife makes me watch it with her (argh!)
-Simpsons. It's simultaneously my favorite AND least favorite show of all time. Incredible how they've turned me over time.
Shows I gave up on, but plan to go back to:
-Better Call Saul. I couldn't really maintain an interest, but people say it's great, so I should really go back and take another look.
-Stranger Things. There are moments when I love it and others where I think it's pretty hackey. I still get drawn back to checking it out every once in a while.
How about a show that you weren't sure about, but were glad that you gave it a chance?
For me, that show is Gilmore Girls. It seems like a sappy girly show that I wouldn't enjoy, but far from it. Same writers as Mrs. Maisel, so it has similar themes of family, and overcoming personal struggles as a lone female. It's witty and funny, but has real moments of authentic drama. The character work is great and you become heavily invested in the character's fate. It's very enjoyable but is easy to digest. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it.
