Game of Thrones
Why would I invest any interest in any characters, since they won't survive the season? If I can't invest in any characters, why watch it?
Did we just go through an entire season without seeing Bran, really?
Sure, the show has great visual FX but after 5 seasons, been there done that.
Orange Is the New Black
Season 3 is just bleck. Piper is a bipolar idiot. As are the show runners because only a bipolar idiot would make a major extended plot line out of smelly panties and have their character dance on a picnic table while extolling the advantages of extra stinky panties.
Even Pensatucky has lost her mojo. Donuts, really, is that all she has to rant about now? As much as I used to like this show, I hate it now by a factor of 10.

I already dumped, "The Blacklist". I believe it was the 1st episode of this half season, where Red was arrested and being sent to an oil rig-like prison. Almost in time to stop a prison break that he knew about.
THE WALKING DEAD
When this show is good, it's one of the best shows on TV. Last season had a fantastic premiere and a decent ending. Everything in between was just constant whining and complaining with intermittent zombie bashing.
HANNIBAL
I loved the first season. I was never able to finish the second. Just too ridiculously gruesome. Rather than concentrating on the main characters, the show became an exercise in the most disgusting ways to murder people.
GAME OF THRONES
I don't mind main characters dying; that's part of great drama. But someday, in writing courses, when the topic of today's lesson is, "When a story loses its focus," the class will watch Game of Thrones.
SONS OF ANARCHY
When I lost every last ounce of sympathy for every character on the show, I quit. I no longer wanted anyone to win. I hoped they all rotted in prison. In the end, Jax had the same problem as Hamlet: His own obstinate, stupid refusal to pull his head out of his own hindquarters. I never bought his undying loyalty to the club. It didn't seem loyal. It seemed willfully stupid.
DOCTOR WHO
... is on the fence. The writing has just gotten so, so bad. Once the show comes back, I may give the Doctor an episode or two. If there isn't a substantial improvement, I'm out.
I agree with OITNB. It's as if the writers were excited after Season 1 that they were such a big hit, so they had a meeting and decided "yay, now we don't have to try so hard!"
Sense8. I'm five episodes in, and as of last night, I cannot make myself sit and watch any more. I find it that boring.
Nurse Jackie. What, is she selling drugs now?
The Americans. I stopped in the middle of season two. Maybe I'll watch more. Maybe I won't. No particular reason.
Grey's Anatomy. It's just not the same without ................ Cristina. You thought I was going to say Derek, didn't you? I miss Meredith's "person." Derek had hardly been part of the show for a long time, other than all that dicking around with NIH.
Game of Thrones. I never really liked it. I think I stopped watching after the third season, but it might have been the second.
RHONJ. It never got interesting again after Danielle left. The Teresa-Melissa dynamic always felt forced, scripted. It's the only Real Housewives I watched.
The Food Network. Once the competitions took over, I took off. I canceled all but basic basic cable + HBO + Showtime. I now watch cooking shows on Create TV (PBS). The only one I miss from FN is Ina. But Martha Stewart's Cooking School and ATK/Cooks' Country with no commercials more than make up for Barefoot Contessa.
House of Cards. I didn't watch the third season. Towards the end of the second season, Frank and Claire's relationship with Meachum was the only interesting part of the show, and people told me Meachum was hardly in season three. I've always found Kevin Spacey irritating, so I didn't go back.
The Good Wife. The storytelling has become soap opera-stupid, and I found myself watching only sporadically last season. With Matthew Goode gone, I am probably gone for good, too. Plus, there's the whole football effect. TGW is no longer interesting enough to watch a day later.
How to Get Away with Murder. It's on the bubble. I didn't watch the second half of the first season except for the finale. I don't care enough about anyone on this show to try and unravel all the secrets and lies. It made my brain hurt. So when The Slap appeared Thursdays at 9, I watched it and got away from Murder.
Mike and Molly for starters, followed by Modern Family. Someone mentioned the Food Network, I watch very little of it anymore. I used to enjoy so many of the chefs, but, yes, it has become nothing more than a daily competition show. I am still watching "Future star" and I will watch 'worst cooks".The rest either poor game show quality or repeats. If I have to see Guy go to one more Drive In or Dive I think I will scream. In fact TV period is a bore. We watch sports, still like Family fued (even that hubby is tired of) and we watch some political programs. plus the nightly news.
THE WALKING DEAD
When this show is good, it's one of the best shows on TV. Last season had a fantastic premiere and a decent ending. Everything in between was just constant whining and complaining with intermittent zombie bashing.
Agree with that, and i'll throw Hell's Kitchen and Pawn Stars on my list as well.
