35 People Share A TV Show That Started Out Promising “But Turned Out To Be Garbage”
It's one thing to set up the main characters and themes at the beginning of a TV show; however, the true test for its creators lies in developing them and keeping the audience invested and entertained.
Reddit user SourceOfAnger decided to live up to their nickname and stir up some drama, so they made a post on the platform, asking everyone, "Which TV show started out promising, but turned out to be garbage?"
It struck a chord with disappointed fans and they immediately started naming series that let them down.

I think most people will tell you Game of Thrones was great until the last season.
CaptainRedBeardd:
Directors literally saw what people wanted from the ending and said Nah we don't want to be predictable. Ruined the series for me.
Totally agree! They took 7 seasons to build the entire epic story and then decided for whatever reason to end it with a Readers Digest 6 episodes!
Reader's Digest! Perfect explanation. The instant teleporting vs the previous tavel that took multiple episodes is what really ruined it. I mean I definitely don't HATE it, but, boy, are there issues, for sure.

If they wanted to go with the same ending, I would have been ok with it. Just not crammed into a handful of episodes! If we could have seen Dany slowly falling into the madness (the hints were there in earlier seasons), it could have been a work of art. Instead, we got a big middle finger of a half season that said they didn't care at all about the fans who made the show (after all, if no one watched it, it would have been cancelled, no matter how well-written).
Would have helped if George R.R. Martin could get it together and actually finish the books. Still hasn't to this date.
I still never believe his "I will finish by X date" announcements that never come to fruition.
Load More Replies...Let's be clear .. season 6 was amazing, just rushed. And missing this huge point that Jon Snow is actually the rightful king. This slow release information, meaning nothing at the end, is my biggest issue.
People who think like this didn't see the end coming from many episodes back. Targariens will be Targariens . And she showed it several times over. To me the ending was great and expected. Not a love story with the boy and the girl (and the dragons) happily thereafter.
Absolutely hated the 'Daenerys will most probably be pregnant' storyline that they heavily foreshadowed (and would make sense about her and Jon Snow coming together for a fated reason etc) and then......just nothing. She just went bonkers mad in 5 seconds. Jon Snow will be buried with the epitaph 'She is ma Queen!' He said it like a parrot constantly. Hated the ending. Big turd of an ending.
Bran spends the entirety of season 8 telling everyone "I'm not Bran." End of season 8, everybody "Hey, let's make Bran king! Good idea!" Did the writers forget that whole three-eyed raven thing?
Showing my age a bit, but *The X Files.*
At first, it was a cool "Monster of the Week" show, and then it started going more into a "Vast Alien Conspiracy" plot, which was also really interesting. Then, after a few seasons of watching to see how things played out, you started to realize that the writers didn't have any idea where they were going with the plot, and everything just fell apart.
I don't mind it up to season 7 (even though it had already gone downhill). After that it became a completely different show
Love your profile photo and name! I’m a huge Absolutely Fabulous fan but even I feel as though that show should be on this list! The newer series after the original 1990’s run were just horrible.
Load More Replies...Yep. If you ignore the "arc" episodes it's still pretty good, right up until the end. (I love the episode in the last season with the Brady Bunch house.)
It was the 2nd time Scully was dying and then saved that I dropped out and I had LOVED the XFiles.
It's also a ongoing hyperfixation so that might explain

The Walking Dead. It had the potential to be such a good show, but I finally gave up like season 5 or 6, which was probably a lot more than I should have given it.
ilyazrey56t43ter43:
It started off as a great show and then just became a rinse and repeat of 'Oh, there is another group of human survivors. We'll clash and then kill each other.
I actually made it to the last season before giving up. Don't waste your time, it doesn't get any better
It didn't even properly end, just set up new shows for some of the characters...
Load More Replies...I watched the first two seasons. By then I hated all of the characters and was rooting for the zombies.
I tried to hang on and made it to season 3. By then I was just reading my phone with the ep on because it oly gets somehow more boring
Load More Replies...When they killed Carl off the show, before his character really came into his own, is where I drew the line and stopped watching.
Loved it until they started killing off main characters that you had become invested in that gave you hope of humanity surviving. There always has to be hope or it becomes the same old same old.
See, that just seemed like a desperate move to me by the writers.
Load More Replies...This was my show! But yeah, the show pretty much turned into a walker itself after so long.
I loved TWD, and am excited to watch all the spin-offs! Gotta wait until Hubby and I finish Fear of the Walking Dead, though.
I*warning possible spoiler alerts* I went all the way with it...I agree it really lost its way after negan's defeat.... yeah the whisperers was an interesting storyline as for the commonwealth wtf was that about...so many storylines not explored or completed....but I still loved it all,was right up my street as a genre (ps I'm a huge zombie fan as it has the possibility of a potential reality)
The Whisperers storyline went on for waaay too long!

Grey’s Anatomy. The first few seasons were interesting and it went downhill after a few seasons. Kept watching in the hopes it would get better… It didn’t.
They turned a great medical series into a soap opera version of itself. Stopped watching after the plane crash episode. That was their jumping the shark episode.
I stayed with it until they killed McDreamy. I stopped watching a couple of episodes before that, knowing it was coming.
Load More Replies...Yea, it was a cool med-procedure show, until the episode with the jump-the-shark plane crash the killed/maimed characters. Then it turned into trash.
I think I only lasted one or two seasons. My favourite hospital drama is All Saints and it is so good I compare everything to it, which very few come close to.
I've enjoyed it. Definitely got worse after the plane crash and Christina leaving. The latest season is the worst. He interns are hard to like and the show got too preachy. Yeah I agree with you but stop shoving it in my face and making that the entire point of the episode. I want to watch characters not situations.
Heroes. Season 1 was amazing but it went downhill fast after that.
GavinBelsonsAlexa:
The writer's strike ruined a lot of shows at the time. I didn't hate seasons 2 & 3, but I am comfortable never watching them again for the rest of my life.
Nah... Heroes, I felt, was never amazing. The writers kept breaking their own rules regarding powers and abilities and character arcs, even within the first season. And the finale was like it was choregraphed by a drunk, blind squirrel and the director's only instruction to the actors was "look like you're doing something urgently."
I wish Heroes could've had a proper ending, but there's a reason writer's strikes happen in the first place. The creatives deserve to be paid for their work
I absolutely loved season 1, it was my favourite show at the time. I was 12. Season 2 is alright, but after that they ruined it.
The second had good points then the reset and forgot most of what made it good in the third season. Left stories un finished and for some reason Claire needed to have a lesbian kiss.
I don't know... i still enjoyed allthe Hiro stuff, and redeemed Sylar. The relaunch really didn't work, though.
I watched first season and then never watched it after that. Sad day.
The Blacklist. The concept is amazing but it quickly falls into a repetition of the same episode plots over and over, just like every other network cop/crime show.
They should have ended the series instead of killing off Elizabeth Keen.
Nothing made me happier than seeing Keen die. She just wasn't interesting, and certainly not worth the time and trouble she put everyone around her through. Whenever the plot would nosedive into "What really happened to Keen's parents?" or "Is Red really her father?" or whatever, for me the series just screeched to a halt for that week.
Load More Replies...Yeah but I'll watch anything with James Spader in it. He's hypnotic.
Yes, but the series finale was exactly what was needed to redeem itself.
The whole point of numbering them should have been the order/difficulty Red classified them as that he needed the FBI to help him get rid of them for his own greater criminal scheme
I watched it to the end. Almost wished I hadn't. That ending was worse than the original ending of Dexter. It was so bad it almost made me angry.
It's actually finished? How could it *possibly* be worse than Dexter?
Load More Replies...Yeah it was good up until they killed Elisabeth Keen. Then I just sort of gave up on it. Not because of her getting killed off per se, but it was a point in the show where it just lost meaning
Lost. It's clear that the fandom guessed what the island was by the first season and instead of leaning into it they kept adding mystery upon mystery to keep the audience guessing. At the end what the hell was it about? Some smoke monster thats acutally a guy or the devil or whatever and island magic. It's the reason why I refuse to watch anything by Abrams or Lindeloff.
I'm probably in the very small minority, but Lost is my favorite TV show to this day and I loved the last season.
Same here. I loved it all the way through, including the last season AND the finale.
Load More Replies...I once read a comment that stated: "The concept of" Lost" is to confuse the audience in every way possible to the max". Imho that sums up the series pretty good. The last seasons were just random confusion to the point of nonsense.
Oh bullcrap. The fandom didn't guess it. The fandom guessed it was purgatory. It wasn't. It was a real place, with real things happening to SURVIVORS of a plane crash. The audience didn't guess about a 1970s hippie collective moving there trying to save the world, or the hosts of other groups like the military trying to own the Island and for its properties, or people who had done evil and who were killed on the Island were trapped there in a kind of purgatory as "the whispers." I watched this show in real time and read the message boards. People got it ALL wrong. Also...Lindelof's "The Leftovers" and "Watchmen" are SPECTACULARLY good.
How to Get Away with Murder. So much potential initially, but it all dissolved into nonsense and elongating the series for absolutely no reason. Such a shame.
evenge_of_the_Khaki:
It was very clearly a show with a formula that they stuck with WAY too hard. It's one thing to have a similar plot, it's another thing to literally copy/paste every plot point at the same point in each season 5 times in a row.
Well you made it through a few seasons. I did not make it through one episode.
Yeah, the first time I watched it, I couldn't get through the first season. I revisited it a few years later and I still couldn't get into it. And I love Viola Davis so, I really wanted to like it.
Load More Replies...Yep. Only reason I stuck with it was because my mother kept asking me to explain what the hell was going on. So I started watching it, because you can't explain what you haven't seen, right? Wrong. I could have pulled scrabble tiles out of a bag in a dark room and still come up with a better show/plot than what was going on in that travesty. It should have lasted 1 and a half to two seasons at the most. Also she kept calling it "I Can't Believe It's Not Murder."
Yeah, the last seaons were kinda painful, but I saw much worse (thinking of you, "Lost")!!!
Well, How I Met Your Mother was a fantastic show up until literally the very last episode. Talk about ruining something great.
Bigrobbo:
I actually got angry at this... I mean literally the build up was perfect they meet and we've seen all the love they have shared and then... HA, she died Ted's gonna go hook up with Robin again... WHAT!
And Ted wasn’t a very likeable character in the end. Disappointed that Robin ended up with Ted.
Ted has two kids and ended up with Robin even though througgout the whole season she made it very clear she never wanted kids - his kids are young teens how would this work????
Well you know how when women say "no" it means "well, maybe"?... I think that's what the writers thought. [EDIT: Do I have to point out the first line is obvious nonsense though widely held to be true?]
Load More Replies...I thought it was an interesting take, but should have been done better. The alternative ending is great though!
Did not know that existed. Just watched it and it was 100 times better.
Load More Replies...Last episode?! The whole last season; up to then unusually even in quality.
My friend and I actually called the ending in the early seasons on HIMYM. Our thought was, why is Ted telling this story to his kids? Mom had to be out of the picture for some reason. Maybe because I saw it coming a bit, the last episode didn't ruin it much for me. I was far more disappointed that Barney and Robin didn't work out after spending an entire season on their wedding...though I did love Barney's ending I suppose.
Once Upon a Time. I can't get over the fact that characters kept switching sides, as though all the work they'd done to build trust and establish relationships was suddenly meaningless, or suddenly the betrayal that the character made a few episodes before didn't matter, they were redeemed by virtue of the fact that they simply wanted to come back to the good guys again.
That level of relationship fluidity was so unrealistic that it broke the immersion of the show for me... a show about fairy tale characters come to life...
Each season finale had a new curse cast on the town (talk about rinse and repeat...), and the final season was absolutely unnecessary (and boring as hell) since most main characters were gone. I loved that show in the beginning but it went steeply downhill in the later seasons.
I tried my hardest to binge thru all the seasons b/c I couldn't watch them all in syndication. Got to the last season and had to throw in the towel. It just kept getting more and more stupid/ridiculous as the show went on.
It was getting bad already and then the Frozen people showed up and I noped out. Never regretted it.
I stopped the instant it became clear that EVERYONE was related somehow and the wicked witch was disguising herself as Marian just to steal her sister's boyfriend? Are we in 6th grade? After season 2 it gets soap opera-y. Hard pass!
Another show I dropped a long time ago. It had way too many episodes, where nothing happens, but two characters walking around and talking, and other characters follow them like ducklings and do nothing.
For me I liked the first season, but hated the rest and stopped watching during season 2. They should had kept it without the curse being lifted until the end of the series. It was so much better for me the first season. Also they really tried to copy a lot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer following that first season, but it was poorly done.
Almost every cw superhero show. Flash and Arrow had amazing first seasons. Then they slowly got worse and worse until they were complete garbage.
I stopped watching Arrow maybe in the second season. Flash i finished but it was sooo sooo bad. Iris is one of the most annoying characters ever
The only one I kept up with really was the Legends of Tomorrow, because especially after the first season it goes completely off the rails. Last season was boring again, but in between it's crazy entertaining
You and me both. Legends of Tomorrow is just such a crazy show that honestly the nonsense works in its favor. The plot of the show is literally crazy thing happens and then because of time traveler magic you can keep doing whatever the heck you want without it breaking the plot.
Load More Replies...Yeah I watched a season of the Flash because I wanted to see how they were going to do the fx of some of the Flash's feats, and the character has one of my favorite comics rogues galleries. So I really wanted to like it. But the show went too deep into CW style teen angst storylines. And the fact that Barry had to hide the fact that he was the Flash from Iris for her safety made no sense to me. I mean the only way that her knowing his secret identity would put her in danger would be if other people knew that she knew. So after a season I bailed on it.
Pretty much the last three seasons of the Flash were: "I'm surrounded by a team of geniuses who will very clearly explain why I shouldn't do something, but I'm the Flash so I'm going to do it anyway, then I'll spend the rest of the episode fixing whatever I screwed up by ignoring them, without ever acknowledging that they were right in the first place. Then I'm going to do the exact same thing next week." As likeable as Grant Gustin is, Barry just became insufferable those last couple of seasons--it's no wonder Cisco left.
The Big Bang Theory.
It actually started out as a show with a lot of nerdy in-jokes.
Over the seasons, it has morphed into literally a mockery of its former self.
A typical joke punchline used to be a callback to some obscure comic fact.
Now the joke punchline is that the character reads comics.
I hated the way the women were portrayed as "above" comics and SF show. Excuse me? I'm 62 and I still read comics and I love SF shows. And I'm a woman. Lots of women go to comic shops. They even write them. Now there's a shocker.
One of the most racist, misogynistic, homophobic shows I’ve ever seen. Dress it up however ya want, but without consequence or stakes for the bigotry, it’s just bigotry. Also, Leonard was the most toxic partner ever. Constantly lying, manipulating and using his insecurities & jealousies to be a giant garbage person. Also, there weren’t really any jokes. There were references to nerd/gaming/geek stuff and we were supposed to laugh cos we got the reference. Watch a YouTube vid of the jokes without the laugh track. It’s beyond cringe.
I may be in the minority, but I find this one of the least funny things ever on TV... and yet it is popular. I don't get it.
Speaking as an autistic person, this show, and "young sheldon" can go rot in a maggot infested shitstained hell. Their portrayal of autism was just offensively bad, cringeworthily unfunny, and just outright painful.
So you're trying to say that your vision of autism is perfectly spot on, but the way it presents in other people is completely wrong? Really? Is that what you're going for with this? I have family members on the spectrum that are actually pretty dead on with some of the portrayals one might find on tv and in movies. I have others who are totally different. Spectrum disorders, much like a great deal of things, don't have a script. So it doesn't fit how, who and what you are. That doesn't mean others don't fit it. It's definitely not my favorite show, but I know people who have autism, who actually love the show and for their own reasons, resonate with it. Who am I to tell them they're wrong. Are you going to tell my family members they're doing autism wrong? lol
Load More Replies...I hated the fact it focused so much on Lenard. The most boring annoying unfunny character there
he had little development character wise. Him and Bernadette never developed as characters they stayed the same. The other characters changed but not those two.
Load More Replies...This is one of the few shows that I loved beginning to end. It had a perfect wrap up
I liked all of it but missed the finale. The show introduced the comedic side of nerdiness and made it look cool. The theme of the loser gets the hot girl was vindication for all of us that lost out to the football jocks (while we went on to run tech companies). This is a great show with great lines and jokes but..."if I was wrong.. wouldn't I know it ?" (Sheldon)
For me, personally, it has to be Stranger Things... I loved the first season, but I could not get into the second season at all... After the first 4 episodes, I just gave up disappointed. I'll get my share of downvotes for this opinion, I'm sure.
headcoatee:
I thought I was alone on this! I totally agree. That first season was pitch-perfect. Once season 1 ended, I remember thinking the Duffer Bros had the cred to do just about anything they wanted to, and couldn't wait to see what new thing they would do...and then they just proceeded to rehash Stranger Things for two more seasons.
For me it was: 1st season - great! 2nd season - very good! 3rd season - hmmm... 4th season - great! Can't wait for the 5th and final season, not gonna lie.
Load More Replies...These kids are still supposed to be like 12 but they are all like 22, stop being f*****g lazy and do your jobs people. They could have been writing season 5 while they were filming season 4 but no they needed a break and don't do anything at the same time cause that would make too much sense. The show has lost itself to time.
TOTALLY agree on this, but from the perspective of being born in about the same year as those kids. This was the ONLY show that ever inspired nostalgia in me, because it was the ONLY show that seemed authentic to what life REALLY was like growing up in the early 1980s... as opposed to lazy pop-culture references, "who REALLY lived like that?" contexts, and, finally, YEP! We're in California. In short, it became precisely what I loved it for NOT being. Still great acting, but you can't just yank me out of suspended disbelief every three seconds and have the acting MATTER that much.
Loved series 1, series 2 was ok. Watched one episode of series 3 and gave up. I know it happens but the kids growing up made the show lose its magic
I watched the exact same amount as you and feel the exact same way lol
Load More Replies...Even if a story is just linear, that is better than a merry-go-round
I disagree. Fourth season wasn't bad. I just think they should do shorter episodes.
True Blood. First two seasons were good but something happened where it just became an absolute dumpster fire.
LizLemonKnope:
The first two seasons stayed pretty close to the books, then as the show went on, strayed from the source material. I think that’s why it went downhill.
They wrote tara different from the books and I wasnt pleased… sookie kinda sucked too. She seemed like a dumb girl trying to hide being dumb. In the books she was a regular girl that was charming and seductive, not whiny and hard to please. Dont even get me started on bill.
The first season was great! Come season 2, they started straying away from source material. It just got worse and worse with each season. When they started adding stuff, making up storylines, and not having characters that were in the books...that was a huge disappointment for me.
When they split from the books and started going down the vampire religion route is when it all went to he**.
It might be due to not reading the books, but I quit watching when everything centered around Sookie instead of all the other events that used to happen. Eric (? ) turned from being a scary/ crazy "king of vampires" got PW. DUMB!!!
I just started binging this a week ago. I'm on season four and the wheels are getting shaky.
I watched all 7 seasons 10 years ago or so, my advice is to stop after season four, from season 5 on the show really goes off the rails.

The Handmaid's Tale. Season One was possibly the best drama show on TV at the time. Now, it's literally a s**t show.
calibancreed;
I think a lot of that is because the first season (mostly) followed the plot of the book and ended exactly where the book did (minus the epilogue in the book) and that ambiguity is so perfect for the world. Subsequent seasons were definitely far worse off for it.
A person wanted to see what happened to June, but she became such an annoying character that I also hate-watched for the last few seasons. They should have worked out an arc for what happened after the end of the book, but you could tell they were just winging it after the first season.
I can't tell you how many times I wished that June would be killed off. She was so annoying.
Load More Replies...I think there is one more season and I'm going to watch because, I came this far, I might as well. I'm glad it's going to be over.
I read the book. I have no idea how they made a tv show out of it in the first place. There's barely enough for a movie 😅 read it to watch the show - never ended up watching the show. The pocket comes with a terrific bookmark, though!
I have never watched the show but have read the first book for english class. There are total 2 books. They should have at least adopted the second book too.
I made it through season one. Great! I tried to watch season two... Made it to Episode three, I think. It was just boring and annoying and... Well, story was told, end of it.
Misfits... Nathan Leaving started the decline, and when the last of the original 5 went it was dead in the water.
Yeah, it started off real strong and original, but to the end it wasn't much fun at all.
I loved the original cast, all the replacements felt like desperate wanna bes
Load More Replies...The weird part is the original cast were teens or close to it and the replacements were in their thirties.
That 70’s show The earliest seasons were so great but with each new season the show just went downhill. Especially the final season, god i hated the writers and the director for ruining the show
Loved the early ones, after Eric left, it went down the crapper. Marion Ross as Red's mom was great, though.
Westworld Season 1 was perfect, an amalgamation of mystery, action, drama, twists and turns, exceptional writing, and the perfect amount of existentialism. Season 2 was good as well but not nearly as good. Much like season 1, they repeated a ton of scenes which makes sense in the story but by that point it was becoming tiring. Season 3, I didn't even finish cause of how boring it was. Continually rehashed old plot points, leaned WAY too much into the idea of "what is consciousness," and hardly took place in Westworld. There are leaks of season 4 and they're STILL repeating scenes from SEASON 1!!
Yes, it was special. (I still love the old movie, though)
Load More Replies...This is taken from an old post, as Season 4 aired in 2022 and was terrible. Seriously bad. The ratings for season 1 in the US were an average viewership of 1.8 (in millions) compared to S4 which had an average viewership of 0.3 (in millions).
Because nothing after season 1 had anything to do with Crichton’s source material
They just can’t decide was it a techno thriller or some mystical b******t.
Supernatural. The first 2 seasons are great, the 3rd-5th seasons are really good and expand on the first 2 seasons. Then the 6th through 15th seasons are just bland and uninspired and not even campy. The first third of the series is great, but the other two-thirds turned out to be garbage. I didn't even finish watching the final season, I just read the synopsis and wasn't surprised at how dumb it ended.
Crowley kept me watching after season 5. I wound up finishing the series after his departure at the end of season 12 because I'd come that far, but he was really the glue that held the dumpster fire of a plotline together after the 5th season.
Crowley is the best. I think it should have had ended at season 5 (it was planned) but I'm still watching. I'm at season 12 but its really long.
Load More Replies...No, but you don't get it. Supernatural is a study in shark jumping. What happens when your characters are so good and charismatic that everyone forgets to pay attention to the story and lets you get away with the most insane plots? Supernatural is what happens.
I honestly find the show so fascinating on a meta level for that reason. It also went from blatant homophobia in the first seasons to trying (and failing, but they tried lol) to have actual queer narratives. Probably due to the changing times but I think a lot of it was Misha. That man is about as straight as a circle.
Load More Replies...Once it stopped being about them finding random and new monsters to defeat and became a fight between Heaven and Hell, I immediately began to lose interest. There's only so many ways you can take that.
The reason the first 5 seasons are good is because it was created with 5 seasons in mind. The creator, Erik Kripke meant for the story to be 5 seasons long. That's why the season five finale ends perfectly, everything tied up. You can simply watch the first 5 seasons and quit and won't feel like you gave yo the show before the finale.
I enjoyed the whole thing but it def should have ended when the one brother walked away and actually got a life outside of hunting demons. They had great music though and the brothers were hot.
I watched it all and I loved the characters, but the whole Heaven vs Hell things was super annoying. Save people, hunt things! I didn't like Mary either.
I have told my sister to forcibly stop me if I try to watch past season 2 again!
Vikings.
Awesome stroryline, great characters, touched on old religious and philosophical themes, great battle sequences etc. Great show.
But after season 3 something happened with the writing. Season 4 was split into two parts through the year. That was weird. 4B came out and it was clear the show was slipping. After that it just fell apart with story, character arcs, motives….it just sank.
Once Ragnar was no longer the focal point, the showrunners apparently decided that what the show needed was a dozen different central characters.
I was hoping to see this show on the list, so I could pitch in! I've read the Norse mythology at least 5 times, and I completely loved it! The show did not quite follow the book's details and all, but I enjoyed the first season. Once they started going "off script" even more, I stopped watching it! Not sorry for a moment! I'd read the book 100 times more than to watch another episode!!!!!
Dexter is my absolute favorite show of all time but good god season 8 was s**t. The revival has been so much better.
BAHatesToFly:
Dexter introduced me to the concept of hate-watching. I loved the first two seasons, but Season 3 fell way off, then season 4 was great, then seasons 5 and 6 were dogs**t and I started hate-watching. The old AV Club used to do episode recaps and the comments section was so funny ripping apart the episodes.
Season 7 had some good moments but dropped off, then season 8 was an utter abomination.
When Dexter's sister started having sexual fantasies about him I was done (yes I know he was adopted)
I'm adopted as well, and that storyline was flipping DISGUSTING
Load More Replies...If season 4 was John Lithgow then 100% agree! I remember being excited/scared that season and the ending was shocking!
The season with Lithgow is the best ever. He plays such a fantastic bad guy!
Load More Replies...Some seasons were awesome and some weren't. Still on the fence about the revival or whatever it's called.
My husband and I finally gave up on it when Deb just did whatever the plot needed, contradicting herself from episode to episode.
I never got into dexter. Just the idea that the protagonist is a serial killer, but he's also the good guy, made so little sense to me that I didn't bother.
He's a serial killer that kills serial killers/violent criminals
Load More Replies...The Simpsons. How the hell is that show still on.
The Simpsons started off great, then degenerated. Sometime along the way, the producers realised that either they upped their game or the show would get canned. So there was a spurt of real creativity, and occasional spurts of real creativity since.
Load More Replies...I will never get tired of The Simpsons. There have been less good seasons, but the recent ones are still excellent!
The simpsons have gone on way too long now. It was funny at first and throughout for a while but it seems more of a political agenda now.
The most iconic Bart line is "I can't stay 10 forever". Yet he's been 10 since 1988.
Load More Replies...This is because all the writers and directors were good enough to get their own shows and left. For example Brad Bird.
It seems to have got more inappropriate? Like the producers decided to keep it going the needed more sex and less comedy
Riverdale. That s**t went absolute bonkers.
LiterallyANun:
I enjoyed it for how utterly absurd it was. A show about teenagers growing up in small town America.
Except there's gang turfwars, Mafiosi, suicide pacts, people faking their death, illegal fight clubs, serial killers, legitimate business ownership, children with way more money and influence than they should realistically have, secret societies, underground bunkers, and Dungeons and Dragons.
Every episode you're surprised with something new that still somehow manages to be even more moronic than what came before.
I stopped watching once all that Gargoyle King c**p started happening.
I never watched it. I grew up with Archie comics and I didn't want to ruin that part of my childhood that I loved so much. After reading all the comments and the OP's synopsis, I'm glad I didn't.
Season one was dull. I was all in on the off the rails bonkers and then they time jumped and... WTF ACTUAL F
Orange Is The New Black just kind of… fell off.
PineappleDifferent80:
After Poussey died, they should have just ended it. Depressing ending, but also very fitting since it’s about an American prison.
IBeatUpLiamNeeson:
Once I got to the season where they kind of over run the prison, and they started making the really cheesy jokes, I just stopped watching. Like every single scene was ending on a joke you feel you should here the trombone hitting the wahhh wahhhhhhhhh with.
Her character arc had me in tears a couple of times.
Load More Replies...I loved the first couple of seasons but it gets to the point where you are just watching episode after episode of these terrible things happening to the characters and there’s no payoff or light at the end of the tunnel. What happened to Poussey as well as having the sadistic guards really just got so unpleasant I had to stop watching.
I couldn’t watch it anymore after that episode either.

Couldn't get into it at all, when all my friends and colleagues were raving about it. I watched the Australian one instead and really enjoyed it.
It also turned into a Takis ad for a couple of episodes. And I didn't think Piper and her girlfriend should have got a happy ending.
I thought the last season was good. It had a weaker season or two but improved again near the end.
Sleepy Hollow, first season was fantastic, absolutely made sense that they got renewed only two or three episodes in. The whole premise was highly engaging and enjoyable, Icabod dealing with the 21st century, the monsters, the whole overreaching plot hooked you from the start. Then… Second season was a little rough, but still enjoyable. I didn’t even finish the third season, and once I heard that Abbie was killed, fourth season had no interest. The whole point was them being fated to be partners against the coming apocalypse!!! You can’t just kill off one of them and then just hand wave in another partner and act like that’s all fine and dandy when instead you established in the first couple episodes that it can only be them. I’ve yet to rewatch the first season because I just remember how disappointed I was seeing where it went and how it ultimately ended.
Omg yes first season was so good and then it was not spooky anymore there was just all sorts of historical characters popping up and you could see they were trying to move away from Nicole Beharie’s character even though she was the lead.
The ending of season two is a fitting ending to the series. I pretend that the show didn't continue after that.
They managed to make the 'hand wave in another partner' thing work for Charmed when Shannon Dougherty got fired and her character was replaced...but it was only a season or two after than when the show went downhill anyway.
I agree 100%. I loved that show when it came out but it definitely changed without Abbie.
Under the dome, the first few episodes were pretty good but eventually it got less interesting/more stupid.
I told someone this was like The Simpsons Movie but without Spiderpig. I don't think they appreciated that.
Loved the book. Don't think I'll bother with the show after reading the comments here.
The book was disturbing but excellent, like all of King's work. The series started off OK, but never took off as it strayed away from the book.

Altered Carbon. Loved the first season but really didn’t enjoy season 2.
trumpelstiltzkin:
"Our main character is almost TOO good. Let's swap out for a different one!"
In all fairness to the show, that is the way the books were written. Book 2 has the main character "resleaved" on a different planet.
It's a concept that really does not translate well from book to TV, read the books they are awesome
Load More Replies...I never wanted season 2, so I never watched it. Season one was encapsulated so perfectly as its own thing it didn't need anymore
I didn't hate season 2, but it wasn't nearly as good. Haven't watched the animation yet

American Gods.
It started out amazing and really kept me invested for the first 2 seasons! But it fell way off after Orlando left and then I just kept hearing terrible things about how it was behind the scenes. The show had a lot of potential and they got screwed horribly.
American Gods had no showrunner and no competent writing staff for the majority of its run. Orlando left because no one would compensate him for basically taking over as head writer when no one else would. He is a very talented man.
They had such a great cast and I loved the book, so I was so excited for this show. Very disappointing.
So many of the characters felt wildly different than they were in the book....and not in a good way.
Just the way it reads doesn't translate well. If I had listened instead of read I think the whole thing with his cell mate Lowkey wouldn't have hit the same. One of those "I'm an idiot how did I miss that" moments
Load More Replies...Orlando didn't "leave". He was fired by the producers for being "too angry". How exactly is Mr. Nancy supposed to be *not angry*?
The Fairly OddParents it was an amazing kids show at one point even beating spongebob in viewers but it dropped the ball after puff was introduced then when they added the dog and the annoying girl and ruined it.
I loved FOP. Reminded me of the fun cartoons I grew up with as a kid (a loooong time ago). There were good moral lessons in it. I hope everyone took it as view from a kid's eyes and the parents weren't that self absorbed and the crazy teacher Mr. Crocker (FAIRIES!!!) and the next door neighbor (Dinklebergggggg). Kinda had a 70s suburbs vibe a bit sitcom style. All of the fun fairies like Jorgen, and the anti-fairies were great even with the twist of Mark Chang and Dark Laser. Poof's birth was fine but after he spoke was a sign. Adding Sparky was fine but adding the girl ended it. Even the theme music changed and sounded lousy. The live action show sucked.
It’s kinda funny to look back on it now knowing that they got everyone to watch mpreg before mpreg was a big thing
The annoying girl brought life back to it after it started going stale. The first few episodes after she became a main character are perhaps the best in the whole series. But yes it degenerated after that.
13 Reasons Why.
imthenanny:
I agree should have stopped it at season one. Just do the book adaptation and be done with it.
I prefer the Limited Series that tend to stick to the source material and just end it when it's supposed to end.
Honestly Downton Abbey. The first two and a half seasons are fantastic, then it gets really silly really fast. How many times can Mr. Bates possibly get arrested???
I love the whole show but yeah if Bates and Anna just got married and moved away in like season 3 I'd have been happier.
Imma gonna get downvoted to death but I tried so hard to like that show and I thought it was absolute shite. I forced myself through the entire first season and literally could not go on.
not as bad as doc martin...how many times can doc martin be held hostage?...let's see once by the mad accomplice of louisa's dad, once by the guy who saw rabbits, once by a landowner on his honeymoon, once by someone stalking his aunt, once by the son of the women in the house w/ green wallpaper loaded with arsenic, once by the pencillin-growing sister of a patient, once by the wife of a man with an artery disorder that another doc misdiagnosed as thyroid cancer...i may have missed one or two...and his son james was kidnapped before he turned one, so just following in the old man's footsteps!
I kept watching it without being a great fan. There were a few characters that I was interested in - isn't that always how you get hooked? The downstairs people were definitely a lot more interesting than the upstair people. However, I kept wondering whether there would be a season with the butler (valet) NOT being in jail.
They quite litterally ripped off every single story line from the classic 'upstairs, downstairs' and made it worse, albeit with better sets.
And costumes. I swear I watched for the costumes
Load More Replies...Kim's Convenience. I wouldn't say the last season was total *garbage*, but it was full-on Flandersization of most of the characters, dropped important storylines, and left everyone hanging at the end. They did their cast dirty on that show, and it has started off so, so good.
I'm just happy that a few of the actors are on to amazing things! I was so excited to see Simu Liu in Marvel and now Paul Lee will be Uncle Iroh!!!
Such a great show that took a dive, yet never jumping the shark. Just kinda let it trail off.
The producers, Ins Choi and Kevin White bailed on the show after season 5 even after the network signed up for season 6.
Pretty Little Liars. It started as a fun concept and fun show to watch. The writing and plot line went downhill within the first few seasons, it because repetitive and all over the place, I still refuse to watch the last season because the writing became terrible.
And can we all agree that the Aria/Ezra plot line was so gross, unneeded, and inappropriate?!
This started out great but then just started to get confusing. When you think they have it figured out who the killer is, nope, not that person. After about the fourth time of that, I gave up. I kept thinking it was going to be the end of the series but, it just kept going on and on like that.
True Detective. Season 1 was best. Top of the class. But subsequent seasons were average.
NoGoodIDNames:
IIRC the first season was a project the writer had worked on and slowly perfected for years, and then once it came out and was a huge hit they expected him to do the same thing again in a fraction of the time.
So he tried a completely new storyline for 2 which bombed, then went back and recycled a lot of 1’s stuff for 3, which did better but still wasn’t as good as 1.
Season one is probably the single best season of a TV show ever made, IMO. Season two had a good cast but it was all over the place. Season three was pretty good. And I'm looking forward to season 4 with Jodie Foster.
Season 2 also ripped off a lot of the storylines from the James Ellroy novel "The Big Nowhere"
Never seen the show except for that one scene with Alexandra Daddario. Don't care about anything else.
Shameless, the first 4 seasons were good but then all of the characters just started to self sabotage and it made the show repetitive and annoying.
Agreed. As much as I came to love the US version, I’d already loved the UK version and it was an internal struggle not to make the comparison. Still, I’ll take the US version over nearly every other show on this list.

Stitchers.
Imagine this: a device is invented to see into the last memories of dead people, and an organization uses this tech to solve murders. The woman who has to relive the murders is the daughter of the inventor, whom she is estranged from and (I believe) thought was dead. So this chick is solving murders and trying to track down her genius dad. Makes for some gritty drama, right? Wrong. It’s a Freeform show so it just devolves into a love triangle between the woman and her male coworkers. I came here for sci-fi crime-solving, dammit!
Dracula. It only has 3 episodes but the first is amazing. I was really blown away by it. Then episode 2 came with a story line so far below i could hardly believe it.... they really hit rock bottom.... somehow they managed to create a final episode which dug so far below rock bottom its best to just fill the hole and forget it ever existed.
If you're talking about the Gatiss & Moffatt version, I agree. The 2013 series with Johnathan Rhys Meyers was good though.
I think the first two episodes were great. The third one though, that was something else...
Vampire Diaries. I mean, i guess it never was a masterpiece to begin with but it had many things I typically enjoy; vampires and supernatural beings, some love triangles and drama. I liked the characters (crushed so hard on Damon) and the story. But I still felt that the 5th or 6th season (cant remember which) had a really good ending that tied up most loose ends the show had and gave a satisfying end to the show. I was dissapointed till learn that they were making more seasons and stopped watching. Also, on a similar note: Grimm. I was so excited and was hooked after I saw the pilot but I dont even think I finished the first season. For me it just fell flat. I feel like Supernatural did whatever Grimm tried to do but better (even though Supernatural also is an honorable mentions, but I've already seen others listing it)
Sons of Anarchy. Drops of considerably after Taras death.
LOVED the first season. Then, we kept watching this, hoping against hope that it would return to is season 1 form. But, between "Clay can't die" and "the big season-ending bust won't happen because it is a CIA action", the show kept devolving in eye-rolling fashion. We're still pissed we opted for SOA over Breaking Bad.
Ohhhh, Weeds, [screw] that [nonsense] programme.
stealthc4:
It’s a great concept to have a suburban soccer mom selling weed but I didn’t sign up for a cartel show and, after that, it never found a good storyline again.
Manifest. Interesting concept and potentially room for some cool sci-fi narratives but god it took like 3 episodes to become such a huge disappointment.
Superstore. My GF convinced me to watch it because she wanted something light and funny. We were actually laughing out loud many times - one time even leading to a laugh cramp (as we call it in austria). Very soon I noticed that the jokes got flatter and somehow the actors seemed less convincing. Kinda sad.
When America Ferrara left so did the fun. Which is odd given that she was essentially the straight man in the show.
Watching it for the first time. Almost through season 2 and loving it.
Modern Family It just got very formulaic and the characters have no development.
It was a queer first in many ways doing things Will & Grace or even earlier Norman Lear shows couldn’t get away with on broadcast tv, but then flatlined into a predictable routine. There’s a great book on LGBTQ+ television that includes a lot of behind the story interviews and the politicking that got them to air. From the coded queer characters of the 50s/60s thru Modern Family and beyond. It’s called “Hi Honey, I’m Homo” by Matt Baume.
Matt Baume also makes really good YouTube videos!
Load More Replies...I love Modern Family, especially Jay who changed a lot on the show. Never being there for his older two kids because he was always working but made sure he was there for Manny and Joe because he had learned that he couldn't do the same as he did. The way he changed as a dad to Mitchell being with Cam. From being scared to go in their apartment without making a lot of noise to arranging for their wedding at his club and walking Mitchell down the aisle. So much progress.
House of cards after season 2.
level 2Inle-rah:
I came for this one. Started off brilliantly. Should have just ended it when they found out you know who did you know what.
The US version. Not the UK original which was absolutely brilliant. But of course, I couldn’t possibly comment.
You may well think that. The UK version had the wisdom to have a beginning, middle, and finish. And then they stopped.

Revolution - an interesting premise, our world and electricity couldn't be used anymore, but man by the last episode it was...something else entirely.
oil_can_guster:
Man I was so into the first half-season of that show. By the end of season 1 I was already exhausted. I think its biggest problem is that it was written for standard-length seasons when it should've been a one-season show or miniseries.
Wayward Pines was excellent the first season and dogshit the following season. Season 1 is based on the books, and season 2 just couldn’t replicate the greatness of the first season. They should have just made it a one season thing.
MTV's Teen Wolf. It was pretty decent, didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't. It was cheeky and fun and had a rabid fan base. But sometime around season three, the actors and producers/directors got a little excited with their new career prospects being on a rapidly growing show, acted dumb, and the show f*****g TANKED. Stopped watching after season 3 or something, and it ended somewhat unceremoniously after season 6. The show did give us Dylan O'Brien though.
Glee.
sayhellotojenn:
Yes! The pilot was actually excellent and hinted at a much more grounded show with hints of melancholy. Then it went off the rails, with only hints of the show we saw in the pilot coming back later.
Mr. Schue of the pilot was BLEAK. You really got the feeling that this man is one mouthy teenager away from a nervous breakdown so ok, no wonder you want to cling to the last time you were happy (which, it’s sad enough that this happens to be his high school glee club championships). His wife is clearly an asshole from the beginning, though she later shows herself to be a special kind of psychotic. He’s constantly being dragged by Sue. He’s not a particularly great teacher. Life is depressing.
And it’s depressing for the kids too, at least the ones that aren’t cheerleaders or football players. Constantly being thrown in trash cans or locked in porta-potties or having slushies thrown at them. And then somewhere along the line, all these assholes get too cocky. Schue loses any sense of boundaries with his students. And instead of this show about a small town in Ohio where realistically most of the students will never leave and work mediocre jobs for the rest of their lives, like half of the Glee club moves to New York and gets famous and Quinn goes to an Ivy League school and Demi Lovato shows up for whatever reason and it just becomes more unrealistic the longer you watch.
I still can’t believe I watched this show all the way until the end. I’ve since given up on the concept of “well I made it this far, now I’ve got to see it through to the end!”.
Glee was never good. I saw the first episode and felt homicidal rage unlike anything I'd ever experienced. 0/10
I loved Glee until halfway through the fourth season. It was fun to see Rachel and Kurt in New York and following their dreams but the show should have ended after season four. The rest was boring and stagnant.
Prison break. First season was unreal and then it got much worse every season.
Dafuzz:
When the whole show revolves around the titular prison break, you can only forestall showing it for so long, and then once you do have the prison break there isn't a clear path how to keep the show related to the title. So back to prison it is.
I realized two episodes in that they were going to drag it out and gave up even though Wentworth Miller is *fine*.
Suits.
BlackKlopp:
Yep, the first 3 seasons were fantastic imo, then from Season 4, it becomes personal drama, then when Mike and Rachel leave, it just becomes a caricature of itself. Such a decline.
And the finale was SO terrible! Everything wrapped up in a neat little saccharine bow, regardless of how strange or out of character it might be.
The 100 was cheesy garbage, got really good, then ended as garbage. What a ride.
IrrelevantPuppy:
The 100 is one of my most confusing consuming experiences. First season: “god this teen drama s**t is so trash. Why would anyone watch this?… why am I still watching this?” Later seasons: “did… did this actually get good?” But then kinda hit a soft barrier where things just got steadily more tired, boring, dramatic and I just forgot about it.
I’ve never gone from hate watching to unironically enjoying before.
This was one of my all time favorite shows. But season 5 was so horrible, it was just torture to get through. I liked season 6 though, but I never watched the final season.
This was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Until the end.
Another one I watched two seasons of and should have stopped at one. I loved there were two Aussies in it though!
i watched it up until they killed off almost all the original 100 except for Clarke. iirc, at least. i kinda stopped paying attention to it later on
Last man on earth…the first three episodes were absolute gold, genuinely some of the funniest tv ever made…..literally everything after that was trash (sorry will forte)
Nooo! I loved this show right to the end even though it was totally ridiculous and are in fact rewatching it right now. Again.
YOU. Watched it with my girlfriend and was enjoying it. Reached season 3 and it felt so repetitive and annoying.
The first three seasons of Arrested development was great.
_AreWeHavingFunYet_:
Original run of AD is arguably the greatest sitcom ever. So densely packed with jokes. I liked the original release of Season 4 (Season 4 re-cut is bad), but it was clearly a level below 1-3 and it took a while for some the jokes to pay off. Season 5 was a f**king mess and I couldn't even finish it.
The original release of Season 4 had a mystery element to it, how all these things kind of fit together, then it wrapped up almost all of those threads clearly. It was very satisfying, even though it is inarguably not as good as seasons 1-3. The re-cut lost ALL of that charm and intrigue, and was a slog to go through. Season 5 is...yeah, no. It's shot terribly, has nothing memorable about it, and an ending that's just nonsense.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
I loved everyone in it (Aunt Hilda has my heart), but then it just started getting bad. Almost like Riverdale. It could’ve been a lot better. I stopped watching halfway through season 2 but I saw clips of later episodes on social media.
You could tell Arrow was meant to only be a few seasons but then just kinda snowballed.
GavinBelsonsAlexa:
I watched the whole series, because I'm an idiot, but as soon as they introduced sci-fi and fantasy elements, the show was going off the rails. The first two seasons were a gritty, "realistic" take that drew inspiration in equal measure from the Dark Knight trilogy and Mike Grell's run at the character in the '80s and '90s: no magic, no gadgets, just a mean guy with a bow. They they introduced the Flash and the Lazarus Pits and Damien Dahrk, and it just kept getting worse and worse.
Zoo. Read the book and loved the concept of man's effect of animal life through technology. First episode of the tv series stretches that concept a little bit which I was fine with, it's a tv adaption after all. But then it just went full sci Fi chanel-esque and right off the deep end.
The last season with all the drone and sci-fi stuff really was weak and that not even includes the lousy story
Spongebob Squarepants. The first three seasons were legendary. But starting at season 4, it became a different show. The charm, creativity, and memorable jokes were all gone.

Load More Replies... Gotham. The villains like the penguin, the riddler, Jerome, and scarecrow. I’m watching season 5 now and I’m not really liking it.
Crater_Raider:
Gotham had high highs and low lows. You could tell some writers were just waaaaay better than others. Some episodes would knock it out of the park so hard. Ed's initial Riddler descent was great. Freezes origin. Jerome got better every time (Gordon punching his face off is still a highlight for me)
But then there was a ton of dropped storylines, contradictions, and characters were constantly being rewritten from the ground up- Barbra was someone new every season. Poison Ivy was literally 3 different people, and Riddler ends up being inconsistent in the end too.
There is a scene with The Riddler in season 3 or 4, where he is dramatically "figuring out" a wall in Arkham. I remember that being a chef kiss moment.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Started out great. The last season was horrible. So sad.
This show stands out to me in that way. That last season was just...fundamentally out of character and very weird for Kimmy specifically.
My friends tried to make me watch that show and I don't think I have ever hated a tv show that much in my entire life. Like .... it's not funny. At all.
I’m going to say Good Girls. The plot was interesting. Acting was good, I love Retta and Christina Hendricks. It just got ridiculous and no way in real life would these ladies get away with what they did.
Great show until the last season and it ended so STUPID and annoying.
I think it got cancelled so ended without the storylines being properly wrapped up
Load More Replies...Billions. First two seasons had amazing writing. Then they decided to change up the dynamics and s**t got so stale and boring.

La casa de papel. Halfway through season 2 el profesor starts doing s**t he couldn't possible foresee. But according to the series he did, so that is where I decided to stop watching.
I watched until the end of S2. End of heist, happy ending for (almost) everyone, all well and good. Watched S3Ep1 out of curiosity, saw everything had gone to sh*t and they were planning à new heist. OK, without me, guys.

Load More Replies...Designated Survivor. The original version had a great premise but I think it was too trapped by the constraints of cable TV formatting. Ended up being more of a soap opera that went nowhere and said little. The Korean version is much better, because a) it had to finish the story in 16 episodes (per K-drama format, and because an interim president is constitutionally required to hold new elections within 60 days) so it's more succinct, and b) the stakes felt real since South Korea's military dictatorship is still in recent memory and there's North Korea over the horizon. I'd recommend the Korean version instead.
The first couple seasons were great, but it just got boring after.
The Morning Show First season isn't perfect but its poignant premise and killer performances by Jennifer Aniston and Billy Crudup really worked in its favor. However the recent second season flew off the rails with too many subplots about too many hot button issues spread across too many characters. It was aimless and inconsistent and while I would imagine Apple will pick it up for a third season (what else do they have going on?) there would need to be some serious changes.
I disagree, I love The Morning Show and think it's still great writing and acting.
Kinda obscure, but Reaper. First episode was amazing, by the mid-point of the 1st season, I checked out...not sure how many seasons it had, but it was such a good premise, and just ....fail.
Sword Art Online. It was a great premise, and started what looked like it was going to be a wild story arc where the MC made himself out to be a bad guy to keep the other players from infighting. Then it abandoned that arc for no reason, and the people trapped in a crazy fantasy world settled down to raise a kid in a log cabin somewhere, and the writers abandoned all semblance of plot AND believability.
I never understood it's popularity, it was utterly boring and I gave up after few episodes.
Log Horizon is a better Isekai show to be honest, sadly it probably never will be continued
Smallville. The first few seasons are pretty good, but they lose both Lana and Lex after S6. Tess and Green Arrow were garbage, and then there was that whole sex slave cult with Allison Mack. I can't watch it ever again now that's stuck in my head.
As soon as Lex left it went downhill. Also, what was the obsession with bringing every villain Superman ever faced to be pre-Superman Clark? Why? Stupid.
The League. The last two seasons became pure product placement for daily fantasy football sites.
I'm still trying to watch that final season just to complete the show but I never get around to it.
The shouldn't had killed off Sofia in my opinion. The jokes they tried to make out of it was annoying during that period.
Marcella. It was great, but the season finales left more questions than answers and some parts of the plot were never mentioned again and forgotten. Way too many loose ends for my taste.
