Heroes in season 2, I just lost interest.
Lost in season 1, again I lost interest and the show got moved from Channel 4 to sky 1.

I just started S3 on HBOgo, and am considering dumping that show. Kinda wish I did after S2.

Rationale/spoiler:

Michael Pitt was by far my biggest problem in a sea of bad acting, so him being gone gave me hope. What a shitty, shitty performance.

I see a lot of hate for Dexter here, specifically the last few seasons. I only ever saw a couple of episodes of season 1 and thought it was pretty good.

What exactly happens in the last few seasons? Feel free to spoil it as I'm never gonna watch it anyway

I'm not sure. I know with a few shows I've stopped watching on the penultimate episode, not even bothering to watch the finale, which is even funnier to me I think that I couldn't even be bothered to see it through to the end of the season when things are supposed to be amping up.

Walking dead Season 2. Didn't like season 2 but managed to finish it. Been hearing it gets worse so kinda glad I stopped watching it.

Bones. Made it to the end of Season 3 or 4 (forgot which) before it evolved into the most derivative, predictable crap I have ever seen.

Yup. Was going to post this one. I rarely quit on a show, but S2 was a slog and ended terribly and everyone says it only gets worse. Dunno why the show is so popular.

It's incredibly fun. Season 4 was pretty good and I thought Season 3 was a pretty big step up from Season 2.

Because zombies.

I will admit, some of the make-up and designs for the zombies can be pretty impressive at times. But yeah, the show isn't exactly bad, but it could be oh so much better than it is.

Actually this one, too. I marathoned through to the end of season 1.
I would have started season 2 but I heard really bad things about it.

I hate-watched it. That made it better, to see what NOT to do with a series like that. There are a few good episodes in the series, but eventually got bland and I didn't even watch the last episode. Got bored.

Bones.

Computer genius serial killer guy simply changes his identity and then just like *that*, he gets to walk away and no one is gonna stop him. Yep, that would totally work in reality.

The finale episode for the second cast of Skins. That casts seasons had problems to begin with, but the finale was some next level bad writing and doesn't belong in the skins universe in any way.

Oh, and I stopped watching Californication after season 1, but not because I didn't like it; because I thought it was the perfect ending to that story, and knew that any additional stories in that universe would ruin the perfect ending and not be as good as the first anyhow.

I was done with Homeland after the S1 season finale. The writers exposed themselves as cheap, spineless, storytellers and turned me off completely to the show.

Judging by Homeland-GAF's reactions to subsequent seasons I did the right thing.

Season 2 is basically like dipping ones testicles in a bowl of sulfuric acid.

Walking dead season 3
weeds season 5
dexter season 6

I think those are the most notable series that started well and I kept up with a few seasons only for them to tank to the point I couldn't bother anymore.

I went back and powered through Heroes and Chuck, otherwise they would be on the list. Chuck I liked but was distracted at the time from watching tv

I marathoned "The Wire" recently now that's on Amazon Prime.

Since, I've quit on watching Justified, and have tried and quit after one episode of several other random tv shows.

Every show is so fake and unrealistic compared to The Wire. Don't know what I'll watch now :O

Sticking with Mad Men and Game of Thrones.

Legend of Korra: Season 1

I feel like "pulling a happy ending out of your ass" is a bit too kind for that. I couldn't even stand to watch the episodes again, I lost any interest in seeing the show at all.

Ah, "The Wire" effect. There is no known cure for "The Wire" effect, but doctors say a steady diet of Mad Men, True Detective, Rectify and Sopranos is required for... something.

The Killing S1

I also quit Dexter after its S5 finale, but was somehow roped back into it when S7 started. I should have just stayed out.

my cake, fuck off
I loved The Office, but have never watched the last season. The season before that was awful.

People saying they quit The Killing after the 1st season are missing out. Show get's 1000 times better.

Wish I had quit Dexter. What a dumb fuck ending.

season two was a bit better (first half was on par second half started getting better)
season three has actually be on par with what I expected when the show was announced (aka it's pretty darn good)

anyways most recent one for me was the following. I watched and enjoyed the first season... but never wanted a second season... because I knew it would be bad.... thus I just ignore the last 5 min of the season finale and treat it as a one season show.
