Bodies - just couldn’t get into it despite it being recommended to me by family members.

Bridgerton - struggled just to get through the first season, didn’t bother with the rest.

The Handmaid’s Tale - watched every season except the latest one. It went on too long and I was sick of Elisabeth Moss’s face glaring into the screen at the end of most episodes 😴

Yeh it got worse and worse each season, I will watch the next one (hoping its the last) but how many times can she almost escape. Its the typical thing so many American series do when they can't bear to end it so just drag on too long

Ha I also gave up on Handmaid’s Tale because I was sick of Elizabeth Moss and her one facial expression.

I've already bailed on Fool Me Once on Netflix.

Nothing against Michelle Keegan but she looks like she's blow away if you sneezed. She's not suited to the part IMO.

Me too and for the exact reason you mention. Michelle Keegan just wasn’t credible.

The innocent on netflix, I struggled through tother 5th episode and gave up.ndver have I watched a drama with so many random improbably plot twists and a lot of it descended into torture porn imo
 
Sex and the City - tried a few times but could never get into it
Seinfield- same as above. I prefer Friends and Frasier in terms of 90s comedies
The Office US - I prefer the UK one
Fleabag - main character was too unlikeable
Line of Duty - depressing and boring

Most of these new dramas on Netflix/Prime/BBC sound so boring to me so I never even start them 😆 maybe I'm not a drama series person, I prefer films

The Wire. Missed it first time around but gave series 1 a go given how many people said it was brilliant. Gave up in series 2 as I couldn’t understand a word anyone was saying.

I bailed on The tourist first series. Nothing happened except for Jamie Dornan being annoyingly full on Irish!! No offence to the Irish but imho that is his only acting style. Shall I watch the new series. Now it’s actually in Ireland is it any better?
Ironically the best thing I’ve watched lately is Kin. I was sceptical as I’ve had enough of dramas that glorify drug dealers and organised crime but it was really good.

I liked the first season but the second was a real chore to get through.

I tried watching it a while ago and gave up too. I actually thought it had dated quite badly. My hubby really enjoyed it when it was first shown but I do remember lots of people saying how difficult it was to understand and it took them a while to tune in.

I gave up on after the flood, the tourist, fool me once and the handmaid’s tale. I’m too impatient to sit through anything that looks crap and isn’t doing much for me.
