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.

Andor. I still have yet to finish the first season. It's ok. It insists on itself. While the premise isn't bad, and the story is ok. I just cannot get into it.

Andor is a slooooow burn. But worth it.

I’m watching it with my Dad, who hasn’t seen it, and he almost fell asleep more than once in the first half. It’s slow. It’s dense. But it’s setup; those details come back.

Like others said, you have to watch the prison episodes. If you don’t like it after that, you can definitely drop it.

Honestly, I can understand that opinion. The first half wasn't great; all the critical acclaim was about the 2nd half of the season.

If you didn't get to the part with the prison, maybe go back and try to stick it out. That's where it really picks up

That's actually exactly where I stopped watching it at was right before the whole prison scene. The whole first half of the season just drawn on and on and on. My girlfriend was incredibly excited to watch it she watched half of an episode and decided she was done. I've considered going back and rewatching it because I don't even remember most of what happened in it because it was that unmemorable for me.

This is one of the very few times I think "well, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're dead wrong".

In my head the only Star Wars canon consists of IV,V,VI, the bare plot of the prequels, Clone Wars, Andor, and Rogue One. All else is tacky gold decoration.
