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.

What did you expect from an amazon exclusive TV series? A faithful adaptation true to the original work, or some generic garbage churned out to appeal to the largest audience?

That’s not universally true. What about Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, Vox Machina/Mighty Nein? And more that escape my mushy brain.

See, I don't know how to answer that because I've never watched any of those, since I don't give money to Jeff Bezos; he already has enough.
