Peaky blinders, I've tried twice to watch, couldn't get in to it.
Sons of anarchy, gave up after 2 seasons.
Breaking bad, liked the first 2 seasons never bothered with third!

All of the arrow verse
I got to around season 3 of Arrow and season 2 or 3, cant remember, of Flash and watched one episode of Supergirl. It just felt like the same stuff all the time (Flash) and that no one who died stayed that way (Arrow).

Have recently bailed on Ozark as it felt very dark and a bit grim and wasnt in a good headspace for it. Will probably pick it up again though.

I keep getting alerts from Netflix about Ozark, is it worth a look?
 
I watched Dexter all the way through up until the last episode when I bailed because it heard it was one of the worst endings ever. Was excellent from S1-S4. I am actually quite looking forward to the new series. I wonder if they will wipe the last series out

They’re not but they’re saying it will give us a better ending. Because the original ending was absolutely awful.

I recently tried to watch supergirl, managed 2.5 episodes and it is BAD.

Normal People

All my friends raved about it and how good it was and their crush on Connell (?). They’d read the book and said the series was so good. I decided to give it a go recently since it’s quite a short series and honestly there’s a few hours of my life I’ll never get back. Couldn’t care less about the characters and genuinely hated both main ones. Only managed a couple of episodes and that was me hanging in to see if it gets better.

Scandal

I’d just started maternity leave so had a lot of time to kill waiting for baby. I was obsessed with it and binged the first few seasons within a week but then it just got more and more ridiculous.

I then tried How to get away with murder which was equally ridiculous so didn’t even manage a season.

Honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever watched. I googled the rest of the series to find out when it actually got better and decided I couldn’t care less. Marianne was unlikeable from the offset, and Connell was a wet blanket the whole time. I still can’t believe the hype from critics it got

You've described them exactly!!! I couldn't understand the hype either!!!

I’m about to give up on Virgin River and I haven’t even finished the first season yet. Someone recommended it to me and I started watching it and thought, “Yeah this is good. Easy viewing, cosy vibes” but so many characters are unlikable and it’s like soap-opera levels of bad. And not in a so bad it’s good way.

Big Sky

I actually wasted my time watching the full season, wished I’d quit after the first shitshow of an episode!
