What is the actual worst TV series you've ever tried to seriously engage with?
-
I'll probably will be killed for this but it was breaking bad for me. Just so slow and boring. Could see where it was going miles ahead and Walt just kept making dumb decisions which pissed me off. Probably the point of the show or something but I really didn't like it.
Jesse is the foil. Walt makes decision after bad decision and never feels the consequences -- Jesse does.

I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.
Supernatural and Smallville were… too long. I can’t even remember where I dropped them, but it was way too far in already.
I do have a hotter take:
NATLA (Netflix Avatar, the last Airbender) is fine. It’s not bad! It’s like an AU with scenes we never got to see.
I see some people rage that they suffered through the whole season, and don’t get the fuss.

The Haunting was quite terrible but The Leftovers was far far worse.

Firefly
There are worse shows, but this was one of the first where I should have liked everything about it, but instead I hated the campiness.
I watched the full season and the movie, but I walked away not feeling much. People claim it’s one of the best shows of all time and deserving of a comeback, but I just can’t see it.

True blood. I knew some people who were just obsessed with it and I watched a lot of it and just couldn’t stand it.
The person I was with at the time was very obsessed with this one. The whole supernatural genre in general. It was a big turn on for her and almost every epsode would get paused because we started fucking.
This is only one of many that that we viewed this way together. Turns out there are a lot of shows I will watch when, "doesn't matter, had sex" can be applied.

Oh my gosh, yes! As a fan of the books, I was so excited for the series. I was determined not to be put off by the changes to the story the producers made, so it took me a while to realize that the changed story lacked something. Like, being good? I should've just stopped after the terrorist attack that killed nobody, or tens of millions of people maybe, in the first episode just to advance the plot. Great visual effects, no emotional resonance. Why should I care? Nobody on-screen seemed to. I stuck it out until the episode that ended with the one character getting surrounded by the Anacreon landing party, but the show never established why I should care about her. So I didn't, and never bothered with the next episode to resolve the cliff-hanger.
It's a remix of the foundation, understand why they did it because otherwise they'd have to switch of the cast every few episodes. The series is set up to make people that didn't read the books like it and I personally think a lot of what they did makes sense. Some of the changes are good, some are bad, all unfaithful but given how hard it is to put this book on screen I can see why.

You're an idiot. This series requires a fresh start. Your opinion is garbage.
This is an insult, now what is your argument

It's kind of hard to go back to USA network shows from the time. Except for Psych. I'll always be here for Psych.
Oh, you know that's right.

Not watching from the beginning moment, makes you a moron with zero reasonable opinion. Bitch.

That’s not universally true. What about Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, Vox Machina/Mighty Nein? And more that escape my mushy brain.
See, I don't know how to answer that because I've never watched any of those, since I don't give money to Jeff Bezos; he already has enough.

by watching RLM video about the show, I already knew the premise. Plus I like to start in the middle, when things are ramping up, instead of the beginning, where they have to put everything in place... If I like it I might watch the previous episode, for this one I didnt care.
You should try enjoying things instead of consuming them.
