Loads. Maybe it’s my attention span
Ozark
Peaky Blinders
Breaking Bad
Flight Attendant
Ginny and Georgia
 
Gave up halfway through the second series, I really wanted to like it but just couldn’t.
Same here. Ozark had all the ingredients of something that I would expect to like but I just didn't. Difficult to put my finger on why.

I've also bailed on a few that I did actually enjoy but just not enough. Something about them got a bit worthy or samey. The Americans, Designated Survivor and Suits.
 
Controversial as everyone raves about how funny it is but I watched a few episodes and thought it was terrible...Schitts Creek
I didn’t get it

I gave up the good place quite early

Boston legal is one of my all time favs, lots of famous faces dropping In

The Walking Dead. Managed about 3 series then got bored

You - Again, lost interest after 2nd series

13 Reasons Why - Absolutely loved the 1st series, demolished it . The 2nd series was ok and I stuck at it, just about. season 3 I gave up after 2 episodes, had no idea what was going on at all.

True Blood - I have seen series 1-4 a million times and I keep trying desperately to get to the end of the show as I did genuinely love it. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot get past the first couple of episodes of series 5. I'm just lost by that point and can't follow it.

Mad Men - Loved the 1st few series but couldn't get past series 6.

I loved Killing Eve so much, and did manage to finish it, but admit the first series is the strongest.

Desperate housewives- Again loved the 1st series but couldn't get into the rest of it.

I must be rare, but I just couldn't get into Game of Thrones. Watched 1st episode, bailed on 2nd. Just overhyped.

Peaky blinders - what's the point? Line of Duty again just can't get into it.

Never seen Killing Eve either.

I absolutely loved One Tree Hill back in the day and whilst I thought the time jump was ‘ok’ they should have just ended it after season 4 - it would have been the perfect end.

This was me for a few episodes of the first series. I just wasn’t that bothered but my husband was really enjoying it so I stuck it out and ended up absolutely loving it! It’s now one of my favourite ever tv shows. I think it’s one that you need to watch a good few episodes of to really get into it.

Walking Dead (loved the first 3-4 seasons but then it completely lost me. Seemed to be the same thing happening every season.) great cast and acting but just couldn’t keep me entertained!

The Blacklist. I stuck with it because James Spader is amazing in it but there’s only so many seasons you can sit through without getting any of the answers you want gave up after season 5

I've just finished season 8 and still no real answers Well, some pretty big hints but, if it's what everyone seems to think it is, it stretches credibility beyond anything they have ever stretched credibility on before even for The Blacklist. I still watch though 'cos Ressler, y'know and obvs James Spader is an amazing actor.

so funny. I was reading about season 8 the other day and people complaining there was still no “big reveal”. The Rederina stuff as people like to call it is wild and not something I ever bought into
With a lot of these US shows they’re too long that’s the problem. Dragging it out for 10 seasons is never going to make good tv.

Rederina I've not heard that before. I didn't realise it was even a thought in people's heads until I read something on Instagram before the finale aired. Then the last episode did kind of make it clear that was the answer but, as ever with The Blacklist, you just never quite know and it probably isn't!

i used to read a lot of fan theories and it’s been a massive one since the earlier seasons and I always thought it was crazy but it seems like it’s leaning toward it being true so weird.
