The Expanse but I'll try to give it another shot one day.
The first season shows 2 perspectives - detective in asteroid belt and some of the most bland, basic and incredibly uninteresting dude going somewhere. Just kept falling asleep during those scenes.
I heard the layer seasons are quite interesting so I hope to at least skim through it or read the books but tbh the first season feels like it ruined the world for me already.
Wheel of time just finished the latest season in the background and its fun just bad. I've tried reading the book before and it's pretty terrible nonsense too so my expectations were already quite low. I do find the main plot point of basically temu Buddhism and the Witcher cocktail very atractive but it's just so poorly executed. All characters are meaningless. The world has so many plot holes that the wheel might as well just stop rolling right there.
Carnival row - not sure if this counts but it really sucked past season 1. It felt like something was there but it was really ruined by poor writing and Cara Delevingne and her character are so incredibly bad it really ruined any chances the show might have had.
Same here on The Expanse. I hope to get back to it someday because my friends say it gets better.
Wish you and me luck then as I've been dodging spoilers for years now in hopes of getting this done eventually lol
Ha, yeah! I had to practically go into hiding to get through Severance without hearing hints from coworkers/internet/friends. Expanse hasn't been quite as challenging :fingerscrossed:

The Boys. First season had raw charm with some cool punk tracks, then season two sterilised it and it seemed to become another day time TV show. Had a similar experience with Black Mirror once that got the American/Hollywood treatment. Always Sunny lost its charm when the gang went to Ireland. Aweful end to what was otherwise a good series. But I mostly dislike American TV.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).
Jujutsu Kaisen, I just thought everyone lacked charisma, I don't feel bad for it since the manga ended at least and opinions shifted.
One Piece - with One Pace i got through the alabasta arc. The characters all have good back stories and motivations. I mean it is well written, but with how the stakes and emotional depth are managed it just feels like a sit-com. I want to like it more, but i just don't foresee myself throwing it on again.
Most of that stuff is better handled in the manga. One Pace can't fix the bad soundtrack, animation and such that plagued the series from the start. It doesn't turn into a character drama or anything, I think the online fandom exaggerates that aspect of the series to get people to start watching... But it is better
The animation and soundtrack actually didn't bother me after the first couple arcs. I think it has a lot to do with how the show engages with emotions. It's not meant to dig too deep. It's supposed to be a sort of all ages work and it achieves that. I can totally see how people enjoy it btw. Not knocking it, it's a really big accomplishment in its own right. It just lost my interest after a while. If it evolves beyond there, it wasn't fast enough for me. Which is weird, because i usually like slow burns.
Manifest. Holy shit, I tried. But wow, just mind numbing.
