Breaking Bad
Rick and Morty. My taste in humor just changed and it and other similar shows don't do it for me anymore
I felt similar to you, but the past two seasons really helped bring it into it's own. I highly recommend trying again. A struggle in seasons 3-5 but it comes back around I promise.
Lost. I got about halfway through the first season back then until I couldn't shake the impression that it was a bunch of convoluted horse shit produced by hacks who thought they were bleeding edge. History proved my impression correct.
That was the show that made me break my sunk cost fallacy relationship with tv.
The sopranos. I got halfway through season 2 and decided I just didn't give a shit about finishing it.
I feel like it was a show that was greatly helped by the once a week group viewing era.
Walking Dead, House of the Dragon
Stranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.
Breaking bad, narcos, the office, friends.
The walking dead. A good show with high production value I will admit.
But I found it to be souless morbid and honestly disgusting.
Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it's somehow hilarious.

Squid Game.
Bring on the down votes, I don't care, that show was garbage and I was baffled at the HYPE around it.
No downvotes from me. I don't believe the show would be as popular as it is if Korean media wasn't the current du jour.

Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.
It was a series with the ripe call to the "competency porn" as I've seen described as, but the characters couldn't contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I'm wrong and should give another chance however.
Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I'm almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)

Better Call Saul. I tried, i truly tried, but i just couldn't get through the first few eps. It was super shit.
Amerikans.
Like really y'all that addicted to the honey‽ Everybody is fucking everybody and only the two main characters know and can talk about it?
Ozark. It's super well done but I just got to the point that the violence was just too much.
Most recently, Yellowjackets and White Lotus. I watched the first 2 seasons of Yellowjackets because the premise was interesting, and I wanted to see what happened (how the rescue happened) but it turned into a hate watch for me by the end of the second season. It all felt pointless and super depressing with no moments of hope or levity at all. The introduction of random supernatural elements and magic felt like they were drifting into Lost territory, and I couldn't force myself to watch the third season after that.
White Lotus I tried rewatching because everyone seems to love it but I could never get past the first episode in the first season, everyone was so unlikeable and awful or totally ridiculous that I couldn't stomach spending more time with them.
I'm still watching yellowjackets but yeah, pretty quickly they just kill off any characters worth rooting for. It's a hard watch.
Yellowjackets is garbage. It's one of those shows that mistakes debasement and malignancy for character development.

Prison Break
Did they ever make it out?
They never truly made it out, even now as I type this, all the producers and writers did was add a tanker load of water to the mix after the second season. I don't think any of the actors truly survived that show. It was one J list movie after the other or a 3 rated supporting role.
300+ posts and I only see about 13 or so, time for a new instance I think. Does lemm.ee really censor so much or is it my client.
You might have just needed to hit refresh.

The News. Repulsive, unbelievable main characters; insane plots; waay too many subplots; you can't understand a story without reading the fucking Wiki or going two knuckles deep on a forum to get the backstory or just picking up on the mode esoteric hints; this whole annoying multi-platform thing where you only fully understand a story if you watch it on six different platforms (I had enough of that shit with the Matrix twenty-five years ago, thanks).
