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.

The wheel of time. I'm a huge fan of the book series, but that show was a travesty. They threw away large swaths of the story so that the show runner could write his own fanfic. I really wanted to like the show, I gave it multiple chances but it just wasn't the wheel of time as written by Robert Jordan. It's a shame because we probably won't ever get a decent adaptation, at least not in my lifetime.

Ok, maybe a warm take, but Jordan’s books are not great. The first 2-3 are great. But then it fucking drags. Sanderson does a decent job wrapping things up, but there is so much fucking fluff that was just unnecessary.

I will, however, protest having Padin Fain be a Forsaken. That was a definite misstep imo. Fain is supposed to be a chaotic 3rd party who can use the tools of the Forsaken but is explicitly not aligned with them.

Otherwise, season 2 was a big step up from s1. Haven’t gotten around to s3, since it got canned.

Add a fucking spoiler warning, I'm only on book 7!

Fucking damn it! Here I was thinking Taim would turn out to be Demandred. Fuck!
