For me personally, if a show starts to upset or aggravate me too much, I drop it to save myself further hassle. Is that a common approach?

True Blood
Dropped it right before the last season dropped.
It was just getting too out there for me. I lost interest and stopped watching.

I dropped Game of Thrones after the 4th episode of season 8. Never bothered to watch the last two episodes because I'd read the leaks and knew I wanted no part of what was coming.

Come to think of it, I don't think I even managed to finish episode 4. A certain moment with the Iron Fleet was the final straw, and I turned it off there.

I still have not seen the finale to Kim's Convenience.

Don't have anything against the show in particular, but I was just kinda getting to it slowly and then before I got to the finale I heard how the parents walked off the show (which had at the time been renewed for two more seasons) because they felt the production was being shitty towards them. Then hearing how they were giving a spin-off to the car rental manager of all fucking characters. Just kinda lost the motivation to put it on and finish >_>

Also there was this KDrama called Abyss where they pretty much wrapped up the story but there were still like, two 1.5 hour episodes that I just didn't care to check out lol

I dropped The Flash on the CW in the middle of season 6. It's in it's 9th and final season now, so I saw most of it.

The first season was pretty good, but goddamn, what a waste of time it became after that. I'm embarrassed how long I stuck with it.

Not when I was close to finishing, no. I only made it like 5 seasons into Supernatural, though. The whole heaven vs. hell plotline got boring before it even hit a climax.

I liked the monster of the week style a lot more.

Got so bored with The Walking Dead that I dropped it after the season 9 mid-finale.

Been meaning to finish it now that its finished though.

Also, I dropped SpongeBob very shortly after the first movie. Just wasnt for me anymore, but I still gladly revisit episodes from the first three seasons / five years and the movie.

More people need to learn how to do this btw. Sometimes things get to a point where you just dont enjoy them and you need to let it go, rather than continue to watch something that makes you genuinely miserable and then go online and poison discussions with your attitude.

I also stopped watching The Walking Dead, but the last episode I watched was the Neegan cliffhanger.

The internet wasted no time spoiling who he did whack and that was the start of my not caring.

That cliffhanger was so dumb. They did so much to obscure it. Shot fake scenes. Sued people who were spoiling it beforehand. And then it turned out they just killed the same person they did in the comic.

All of the CW hero shows (I don't know if the writing was always bad, or that it took me a while to figure that out), True Blood (damn that show started strong), The Walking Dead (it's repetitiveness grew stale).

No, they got worse. I happened to watch the a scene from the first season of the Flash (Cisco being killed by Wells) and it was just miles better than anything I saw in like season five.

It was always pretty bad and CW-y, but they got worse and worse with each season. With some rare quality bumps every so often.

Also the DCCW stuff. Watched up til the end of Arrow and then maybe like 2 episodes each of whatever was still airing then before I dropped them all.

Not sure it counts, but Walking Dead. I got about 3 episodes after the Negan cliffhanger. I had a habit of watching a few episodes of it every year, quitting because it was shit and then watching the latest series in anticipation for the new one anyway. This time I quit and never picked it back up.

Some other procedurally shows too. I watched most of Bones, Castle and iZombie, but never finished them.

Dexter I quit a few episodes into the penultimate series (at least pre-revival anyway).

House definitely went downhill as more and more of the main cast departed for good, but I still think season 8 was good. Not the best, but they actually tried.

Season 8 had some great episodes.

Also Park was amazing. Though I think I would've preferred if Masters stuck around since her entire character was just "the writers finally figured out how to write Cameron to be compelling and likable" >_>

Yeah, honestly I think the only problem with the Season 8 cast of newbies was...they weren't the originals, or even the Season 4 newbies who had time to grow on people.

The fact they only got one season to exist is most of why people never grew to like them more than they did. That's my theory, anyway. I thought they were doing fine.

Lol I feel like I'm on the same season after many years. I think that's just the shows strength. You get through some real garbage and then some good comes out and you're like yes a twelve episode spread of interesting lore and violence.

Then it becomes fucking dumb againn and the cycle continues

Yep. It's just so apparent the show wasn't meant to go on after season 5, and from there it was just straight throwing shit at the wall and seeing what wasn't trash. The highs are crazy high, but christ is it rough at times to just get through.

Thus is the life of supernatural fandom lol. I absolutely recommend seasons 1-5 to everyone. It has a bit of monster of the week stuff and slowly advances the plot but the show is violent as fuck and has a real great arc.

Then season 6 onwards is basically hit or miss.

I think everyone that watched the show can agree though. Castiel is such a great character.

HEY ASSBUTT

I actually really liked a lot of concepts like the Leviathan... But it just felt like there was no real pay off.
And then I just don't even remember what happened for like 5+ season lol

Several. When a show changes too much, usually a big change in writing staff over the seasons and doesn't have the same feel. Or when things don't change enough and it's just the same shit over and over. Like The Goldbergs. Every episode started to feel the same. Details were different from episode to episode. But it's just reusing the same framework as the last one.
