While it’s fun to discuss shows we love, I think it’s also interesting to see what shows you had high hopes for that failed to capture your attention.
For me, this year, it was Shogun. There was not only outside hype from critics and viewers, but I watched the first few episodes and got really excited–it was giving me Game of Thrones vibes. But, somewhere in episode 6 or 7, I just became really bored with it and had no desire to continue it despite the sunk cost.
Another one would be Buffy, which I watched for the first time this year. Strangely, I would still consider it one of my favorite shows, but I didn’t watch the last season and have no desire to. I felt like the show was already declining in quality in seasons 5 and 6, so I preferred to rewatch from the beginning than let a poor final season tarnish my feelings forever about the show.
