21 Shows That Started Out Great, But Became So Unwatchable People Couldn't Even Finish Them

The influx of TV makes it incredibly easy to come across a bad show, and increasingly difficult to commit to a full series Unfortunately, even those that start out great fail to maintain that momentum in their subsequent seasons. Personally, I never made it past the first season of Prison Break and will likely never get around to finishing the series as a whole. While on my daily Reddit scour, I came across a post in the r/AskReddit sub by u/MochaMadness_ that asked, Naturally, it led to some hot takes but many that I couldn't really disagree with. I mean, some shows just don't know when to end, am I right? Below are 21 shows that people just couldn't finish because they got that bad. 1. "I thought House Of Cards was brilliant!" Netflix "But even when Spacey was in the show, it just lost steam the further it went. And when Claire became the VP, my interest was gone. I tried to watch it when it was just her, but I was so done with it. It wasn't worth my time." – u/Western-Time5310 Powered By 2. " American Horror Story had an incredible first season. The following seasons have been kind of up and down but nowhere near as good as the first." FX – u/Mysterious_Bug_3601 Powered By 3. "I'm rewatching The 100 right now and I was struggling to get through episode 9 of Season 6. It's so badm but I was like, 'it's okay, it's almost over. Only like four more episodes left!'" The CW "And then I was looking something up and found out there's a SEVENTH season?! I was obsessed with The 100 when it first came out, but it declined to the point that when it came to Season 6. I just never watched the final episode out of spite (or denial that it got that bad, IDK). Honestly, the only things that kept me watching after Season 3 were the fleeting moments where Clarke would admit she loved Lexa. Can't help it, I'm a sucker for Clexa..." – u/juniper-mint Powered By 4. " Weeds was so much fun until the pattern emerged: Nancy has every opportunity to walk away, doesn't walk away, gets in trouble, rats everyone out, people die, Nancy f*cks her way back to the top." Showtime "It also played really fast and loose with cliffhangers. The big end to Season 1 was the cop being like, 'Nancy, I know you're a drug dealer…' and then Season 2 starts, and he's like, '…but I don't care that you're a drug dealer.'" – u/JeffersonFriendship 5. " Shameless (US) is a show where I've honed in on a fantastic stopping point: When Lip gets with Amanda at college and stops before he meets her parents." Showtime "There's a little window there, where every character really gets their just desserts all at once. Makes for a lovely personal series finale. Obviously, everyone will have their own preferred stopping point, and that's cool too. But this is mine! I think it's somewhere in Season 4 or 5." – u/Clay_Puppington Powered By 6. " Pretty Little Liars. I watched it for years and just stopped. I couldn't continue and never finished." Powered By 7. " Outlander. The first season was amazing, and halfway through Season 2, it started to decline. And then it was no longer worth watching, although I kept up with it until Season 5. I feel like the scene where Jaime was violated ruined it for me. It was a difficult scene to watch." Powered By 8. " Orange Is The New Black. Just like any Jenji Kohan series." Powered By 9. "I loved the first three seasons of You, but Season 4 was brutal! So cringey and there was no chemistry between Joe and Kate. Plus, he was supposedly in love with Marianne but then nothing happened with that storyline?? Season 5 is coming out soon and it's going to be the last one, so hopefully they bring back the OG writers." Powered By 10. " True Blood — loved the gritty Hillbilly take on vampires at first, but then it became just another boring, cheesy love story with more and more BS." Powered By 11. "BBC's Sherlock. I was obsessed and absolutely HOOKED for the first three seasons. I loved that show. The fandom was a lot of fun and very engaging to me. I was always so excited to see a new episode come out. It was a fun, happy time, and I still have great memories from my friends and the fandom years later." BBC "But then Season 4 came along and I don't quite understand what happened. Suddenly, this show that could get so many people engaged and fired up all at once became this thing we don't talk about anymore, and the show itself is just kind of a distant memory to me. I don't even go back and re-watch it. I was so disappointed." – u/Square-Raspberry560 12. " The Man In The High Castle." Amazon Prime "Phenomenal start. But it kept getting weirder and weirder to the point of nonsensical. I went from not being able to wait for the final season, to never bothering to finish the show." – u/WhiskeyAM_CoffeePM Powered By 13. " Stranger Things started great. In particular, Season 1 and Season 2 to some extent. I don't remember which season ended with the shootout in a mall with that monster, but that was so ridiculously over the top and completely unbelievable. What once was special and different than anything else became the most generic Hollywood garbage I have ever seen." Powered By 14. " Once Upon A Time. My mom and I fell behind in the second-to-last season and just never picked it back up. It got so boring and frustrating." Powered By 15. "When The Walking Dead was announced, my friends and I were already reading the comics. The whole first season of the show is maybe half of the first comic. The show moves so painfully slow that if you've read the source material, the show is unwatchable. I wanted to like it, but it's just so goddamn boring." 16. "I can't get over how truly beautiful Grey's Anatomy started. And now it's just a silly trash soap opera. For me, the plane crash ruined it. I tried watching it a little bit longer, and then I was really done after April and Jackson split. It's just stupid that nobody can have a happy relationship on that show without death or cheating." Powered By 17. " Outer Banks. I couldn't finish the most recent season." Powered By 18. "Charmed. I hung around for a couple of seasons after they killed Prue but that, combined with the original creator leaving, meant it went downhill fast. I think I made it to Season 6 before throwing in the towel." The WB Powered By 19. "I felt like the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel evolved into constant screaming (I didn't watch the most current season)." 20. " The Following." Fox "Unlike other TV shows, this had a great pilot, and everything went down from there. The villain seemed to have followers infiltrated everywhere. The FBI operates with such inefficiency as if in a slapstick comedy. I stopped after the fifth episode when a female cop in some lonely town accompanied the Iceman actor and then shot him and revealed him as a follower." Powered By 21. " How I Met Your Mother. By the last season, there was something about an umbrella and I just didn't care anymore.
