For me it’s The Sopranos, The Bear, and Succession. I also gave up on Severance. Just never went back. I don’t get The Bear at all. I haven’t completely written these off and would go back if someone can strenuously argue for them in a way that persuades me!

Oh Gosh I agree on SATC @DeposedPresident Shite. Not my scene at all, so much so I forgot about it entirely!

I can beat that. Watched it through to Season 4 in a binge watch and then just never went back. It was repetitive and I stopped caring

White Lotus

Also The Bear. And Breaking Bad. Persevered with Succession, Stranger Things (started this three times!) and Severance and so glad I did - all amazing and would watch again.

Fleabag
Amandaland

SoftlyDoesntIt · 02/05/2026 20:22

Better Call Saul. Only managed season 1 - just dull and nothing happens.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/05/2026 20:22

I would stick up for Peaky Blinders and Schitts Creek. You need, with both, to get past S1

I did have to have three starts with Yellowstone, then I got into it.

THIS!!!!!! I tried so so many times to get into it but absolutely hated it, even though I loved Breaking Bad!

Better Call Saul. Only managed season 1 - just dull and nothing happens.

I love how different we are! It’s one of my favourites, SO much happens.

for me:
Peaky Blinders
Downton Abbey

Same. But didn’t have the same issue with the prequels. The new one is called Marshals and I found the first episode dull. There’s also, from the same stable, The Madison and I enjoyed that.

Game of Thrones

Hmmm... not sure I'd recommend it. Beth makes the series completely unwatchable for me. Also, a farm being run like some kind of murderous mafia clan makes it all nonsensical and all the characters are unlikable (except Jamie who constantly gets shafted and abused).

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/05/2026 20:28

Also couldn’t with Better Call Saul even though I loved Breaking Bad. I did though find that Breaking Bad needs the full first season to get into.
