I thought this past season of Homeland was the most realistic/plausible of the series.

Bones, Castle and Grimm. Finally admitted I was done when I started saying "I should watch the latest episode" instead of "I want to".

Walking Dead - still hooked, but since I have to wait to watch on Netflix, I just binge watch. Easier to stay hooked, I guess.

Justified - same there, watching past seasons on Netflix. But I find myself not watching because I dread getting to the end of the series. What will I do without Raylan and Boyd in my life? lol

I watch a lot of Asian dramas, mostly because they don't draw out their series forever, past the point of jumping the shark. They schedule 12, 16 or 20 episodes, and they're done - a clear ending.

I would just like to throw some props out for Bloodline. Immensely acted, I thought.

No reality show is worth our time. Just say no.

It was good. Felt final though. Maybe continue with a totally different character and a reveal how the previous group is doing in the aftermath. Brody's family especially. They just were written off along with Mike.

I'm considering abandoning Castle. It just hasn't been as good lately. I'll start watching the next season to see where they're trying to go with it, then I'll make a final decision. I may abandon Hawaii 5-O, unless Catherine comes back. I find the Steve/Danny relationship annoying...Scott Caan wasn't in as many episodes this past season, so it wasn't quite as bad as the prior seasons.

Some shows I've abandoned within the past couple of years:
Bones
Revenge
Once Upon a Time
NCIS
The Americans
Mad Men
Modern Family
The Middle

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.

Hannibal. Unless it rises above the slice and dice, I'm done after this season. We get it, writers, Hannibal Lecter is a cannibal. Move on.

The Messengers: Done after 3 episodes.

Bones: I got bored.

I was through with Grimm until they offed Juliette.

Bail before Season 5 on that one. It was a really good show with a great premise that various producers just killed..

S5 is just a total mess. They kill off the 2 lead characters.. Never should have been made. S4 was actually kinda bad.. Had promise, but relied on the Kromagg storyline too heavily. Killing off the characters of the Professor and Wade were bad moves, too.

The tone has changed dramatically! Almost cartoonish! (If that's a word)

Here is a new one I gave up on in 2 episodes -"Complications'. Plot is so contrived, actions and reactions of lead and supporting cast are unbelievable.
