Came here for Buffy. I remember the film which was entertaining fluff, but then the series came out and almost immediately I hated it. But all of my friends loved it. Every so often one of them would try and persuade me to give it another go but everytime they did it was always by showing me the same fucking episode ('Hush', I think it's called) where no-one speaks.
I guess I just don't enjoy looooong series which are more soap opera than they are story.

The Expanse but I'll try to give it another shot one day.
The first season shows 2 perspectives - detective in asteroid belt and some of the most bland, basic and incredibly uninteresting dude going somewhere. Just kept falling asleep during those scenes.
I heard the layer seasons are quite interesting so I hope to at least skim through it or read the books but tbh the first season feels like it ruined the world for me already.
Wheel of time just finished the latest season in the background and its fun just bad. I've tried reading the book before and it's pretty terrible nonsense too so my expectations were already quite low. I do find the main plot point of basically temu Buddhism and the Witcher cocktail very atractive but it's just so poorly executed. All characters are meaningless. The world has so many plot holes that the wheel might as well just stop rolling right there.
Carnival row - not sure if this counts but it really sucked past season 1. It felt like something was there but it was really ruined by poor writing and Cara Delevingne and her character are so incredibly bad it really ruined any chances the show might have had.

severance. just so boring... uneventful. i just cant bring myself to care about the characters in any capacity. ive said it in other threads, its just 'depression porn'
It's definitely not for everyone. It's a very complex show with a lot of symbolism, and you kind of have to think for yourself what's really the implications of what's going on.
I was hooked from beginning to end, but it's definitely pretty boring if you don't get the subtext, or simply want an easy sit back and relax kind of show.

The Orwell
If you can wade through the sludge (like ST:TNG S1), it really becomes incredibly thought-provoking in especially season 3.

The Boys. First season had raw charm with some cool punk tracks, then season two sterilised it and it seemed to become another day time TV show. Had a similar experience with Black Mirror once that got the American/Hollywood treatment. Always Sunny lost its charm when the gang went to Ireland. Aweful end to what was otherwise a good series. But I mostly dislike American TV.
