I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

I know this will be unpopular but Three Body Problem was so attrociously reductive about basic aspects of humanity and what motivates people that I couldn't stand it. It is a show entirely about aliens and automatons, there are no humans in it just mystery thriller tropes shambling around in a poor immitation of life.

I loved the books. It didn't matter that the characters were 1 dimensional representations of a concept or political viewpoint, because it was about the ideas amd the setting and the events. Then I struggled thru the Chinese TV series of it because the books were so cool, and the Wang Miao and Da Shi actors were good together. But I think I've had my fill of this story and will never get around to watching the Netflix version.

Oh dear god that show is terrible. The pacing is all over the place and every character is at best annoying.

You know the show is gonna be bad when not even the trailers look horrible. I distinctly remember cringing at some of John Bradley’s lines in the first couple of teasers. I think they must have realized that his dialogue was awful because they started cutting his character completely out of the later trailers.
