As I have bailed on The Last of Us - at least for now, but I have no incentive to watch it right now - I added it to my list of shows I never finished. I keep lists of everything I've seen (movies and TV) and rank them and stupid stuff like that. Well I have a never finished TV list from the streaming era anyway.

Here is my list and a few reasons why if there was a specific one.

These I actually have some intention to finish someday... maybe.
The Squid Game - never started S2
The Orville - I did go jump to watch the finale but did not see most of that final season
Dave - started S2 and it just didn't have the hook S1 did for me
Sneaky Pete - just stopped after S2
Black Mirror - made it thru S3
Shooter - finished S2
Marvelous Miss Maisel - made it thru half of S2
Sex Education - only watched S1
Westworld - made it thru S3
Ozark - still need to watch last season not sure why I haven't
The Last of Us - debatable right now whether I will get bck to it, maybe if I hear rave reviews


These I just stopped watching and don't really intend to start again.
Hannibal
Santa Clarita Diet
Mindhunter
Altered Carbon
Dark Matter
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - never watched final season
Longmire - stopped halfway thru S1 just wasn't deeply into it
Arrested Development - have not seen final season
Orphan Black - only watched S1
Mr. Robot - only watched S1
Castle Rock - only watched S1
The Handmaid's Tale - only watched S1
Letterkenny - watched thru S3 and lost interest it was highly repetitive it felt like
Killling Eve (BBC-A)
The Politician
Broadchurch - only watched S1 and a sporadic episode or two of S2 as my wife kept going
Tiger King - never even finished S1
Away
For All Mankind

Not sure if a lot of people do this. Maybe the streaming era leads to people sampiling and quitting a lot of shows. I don't know.

Back in the day if I watched a network show I generally watched it until it ended. I would try a few new shows every year looking for some to fill the gaps but I usually stuck with any that I tried unless or until they were cancelled. So I think this is unique to the streaming era for me.

I would have to think back on some of these. Too many.

There are only 3 seasons of Arrested Development. That's all.

The Office. I've seen the final episode but not all of the post-Michael episodes.

The Morning Show

Supernatural. Made it to the last season and just couldn't sit thru the rest

Whatever that show is with Christina Hendrickson and the other two chicks where they get into money laundering

Ozark

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It tried too hard

That LOTR series

Ren and Stimpy

South Park

Simpsons

Ted Lasso

I could do this for a while but don't want to waste any more time on it

I tried to watch man in the high castle like 4 times because I love the concept. It's just not a great execution.

Same feelings. It took me years to finish it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really worth it. Should've cut my losses.

Bailed on Dark Matter right before it got interesting. Ah well.

Walking Dead - stopped at Season 9 after seeing they were going to let Neegan live.

The Last Ship. Not sure why I stopped after Season 2.

No real reason. Just stopped.

New Girl
Simpsons
Black List
Blue Bloods
Last Man Standing
Mindy Project

You sit on a throne of lies!!!

How could you not finish Ozark? Did you not like it? Or just haven't gotten around to it…?

Ozark
Last of Us
Titans
Echo
For All Mankind
Morning Show

Will probably bail on White Lotus if there's a season 4

Yellowstone for me. When they brought the chick in who was supposedly from Texas and she talked like she had marbles in her mouth:

Yeah. I quit that show too.

Mad Men - I've tried twice, only made it through season 2

Friends - stopped watching around season 4 or 5, only seen a few episodes after

Simpsons - similar to Friends, stopped around season 10

The Leftovers -only watched first season

Peaky Blinders - stopped after season 2

Walking Dead - stopped around season 4

Fargo - haven't watched the last 2 seasons

SOA - stopped after season 2

Falling Skies - The first couple of season were really good and then it just completely sucked and I gave up.

Walking Dead. Should have quit on it long before I did

Same with Oak Island.

I wasted sooo much time with The Walking Dead.
That story just went nowhere slowly.
And, from what i've heard, i didn't miss anything

We watch everything kinda late...so it's a bigger shame if we still can't just binge something. With that said.

• Weeds
• True Blood
• Santa Clarita Diet
• Walking Dead (although I don't think we missed anything. The plotlines started to recycle with different characters)
• The Sopranos

Shows we haven't finished but plan to:

• Friday Night Lights
• Justified
• Stranger Things (this one is clearly not done, but the whole family has gotten into it. Kinda fun)

Same. I think I got to the middle of the second season or so.

Add:

GoT
Walking Dead
Yellowstone (only watched first episode)

It's extremely tough for me to abandon a show if I've put over a season into it, sunk cost fallacy and all that. Needless to say I've wasted a lot of time on truly bad television. If I do abandon a show, that's really saying something about my opinion on it...

The only ones that jump out at me are

Westworld
The Walking Dead


I am two seasons behind on Yellowstone, and I tell myself I'm going to catch up, but I have no clue when that will be as it is about as low a priority as can be

Ozark
Handmaids Tale
Yellowstone

Any Marvel series, as they're all crappy

Dexter.

Bookie.

Mando S3

+1 on Man in the High Castle

Bosch

Walking Dead was so good around the Negan introduction. As soon as "All Out War" started it started petering downhill. Then the protagonist departure made the series go to aimless *****

There was one epi in the final season (I think) that was phenomenal. It was a Negan backstory and was so very well done.

Oh yea, and don't watch the rick and michonne limited series. It is utter garbage

Dude. There's a lot of these.

God thread.

There were some really good threads on it here. It was a grind that was mostly good but lots of oof and the last few episodes are some of the best and worst TV has to offer

and that's why we wait to watch shows. I'm barely making my way through Season 4 with my wife. My kids can just rewatch that stuff over and over. They find it riveting.

anyway, should be good timing for Season 5. BTW, the Stranger Things store in Las Vegas was really pretty cool to walk through.

You.

After season 1 it made me furious. Haven't watched another episode since.

Battlestar Galactica

It started feeling really repetitive.
