Recent shows you tried to give a chance & had to drop them

[Shogun]

Boardwalk Empire...which is weird because I typically love anything to do with organized crime, and anything on HBO. But the shyt is just boring to me. I think a big part of it is that I can't buy Buschemi in a lead role.

Mad Men - my wife watches the shyt and I snooze through every episode. "This week on Mad Men....Don has an awkward dinner with his in-laws!"

know yall love these shows....i just cant get interested

UK has a Utopia too?

Edit: NVM I meant the Fox reality show Utopia.

oh, lol, man you gotta check for the UK utopia, which is a scripted show, not reality tv...ask the coli about it breh, its AMAZING

Parks and Recreation after 3 episodes (on two separate occasions)

I did the same.

Then I found out season two stepped it up.

Give season two a chance.

what was that terrible comedy sitcom about couples at a bar and the whole season was to take place over the course of the one night ?
i watched the first two episodes and it got tossed in the bushes.

thats the only recent one i could think of..i rarely drop a show so many episodes into the season.
i generally have to finish at least the season i'm on before deciding if i'm done with it...for instance.

Silicon Valley
i wasn't going to watch after the pilot but i saw it was only 8 episodes, waited til they were done and watched them all over a few days

Ray Donovan seems to be always teetering on edge of me doing this and then a little something happens that keeps me watching.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Orange is the New Black- tried to watch it, bytch ass show

 

[MidwestD]

Walking Dead - gave up after season 3

House of Lies - somewhere in the middle of season 2

Masters of Sex - after 6 or 7 episodes in season 1

The Bridge - after episode 1 of season 2

American Horror Story - gave up on season 2 halfway thru, gave up on season 3 after 2 episodes

Shows that are close to getting dropped:

The Strain
Ray Donovan
Under The Dome
Homeland
The Following

How far in are you in Under the Dome? Season 2 is WAY better than season 1. Season one was frustrating, great pilot, several shytty episodes midseason, couple great ones after, wack season finale. Season 2 the writing been much better, and the show improved instantly when

Spoiler

Natalie Martinez' character was killed off

Her acting regressed badly compared to prev. tv roles.

I gave up on Hannibal Epi 6, S1, but since you brehs love it so much I want to start watching it again.

The second half of season 1 and the entirety of season 2 are on a different level than the first 6 eps breh. Trust me.

Fred.

 

[Beer Drinker]

Blacklist.

ANY other actor besides Spader and the show doesn't get a second season. He carries the whole show on his back.

Looking forward to season 2 like nobodies business

 

[theflyest]

seeing the responses made me realize there are a lot more shows that I dropped than I realized


Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men
American Horror Story (kind of, I flat out dropped season 2, came back to season 3, will check out season 4. That's the good thing bout this show, your not missing anything if you skip a season)
Ray Donovan
Orange is the new black

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

Masters of Sex - billed as 'Mad Men with sex', it was just a little to slow to hold my attention. Lizzy Caplan did have some sweet bewbs, though. Been wanting to see her nekkid since Party Down.

The Leftovers - I don't know what it is with this show; I enjoyed every episode I watched, it had an interesting premise and a few promising plotlines, but I just couldn't enagage with it for some reason. I mean, I would watch an episode and enjoy it, then would feel no urge whatsoever to watch another. Bailed after four episodes.

Banshee - Another interesting premise, and I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, but it became too repetative and I totally lost interest.

[dem bath salts]

Nikkas actually stopped watching Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones

I felt that away about mad men for the longest. I just now fukk with it. I had to tell myself think of it as a novel. When I watch it like that, its good.

But I had to drop Fallen Skies and the Strain. Just bland TV

 

[MJ Freedom]

I'm going to give keep trying to give it a chance but "Partners" is getting thrown in the bushes at some point I'm sure of it.
