My wife and I had a couple's night at some friends and they made us watch the first 5 episodes of Leena Dunham's "Girls". Would not recommend.

the only show i ever really binge watched was the first season of daredevil during a weekend of profound stomach illness. i look back on the moments spent painting the toilet bowl from both ends more fondly than the ones spent watching that show.

non-binge: i have seen every episode of 24. my dad liked it, and i like spending time with my dad. still, it’s an insanely terrible show that probably led to people being tortured to death in real life.

Binged five seasons of The Blacklist over the summer. I should have stopped with the episode where the main character faked her death.

Currently making my way through NCIS. I'd binge-watched it before some years ago, but I don't remember where I stopped, so I just started over from the beginning again. Halfway through the third season, so only 13.5 more seasons to go.

Sons of Anarchy. The first two seasons were fun to watch, everything after was pure poo poo.

Yeah it's this, but for some reason I still finished. The dip in quality was subtle at first which tricked me into watching til the last 2 seasons, where the shows garbage-tier status was cemented. At that point it became a hate-watch and there was something liberating about that.

most recently the show on netflix where a fat teen gets thin by a hobo punching her in her fat mouth and then gay john ritter teaches her how to win at beauty pageants. and gay john ritters wife is alyssa milano.

it sounds way better than it actually was.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The new "The Odd Couple" show with Thomas Lennon and Matthew Perry.

It is so hacky and they lean into every joke. Tom Lennon is trying at least, but Matt Perry is such a bad actor. I don't think I laughed once, but I ended up watching at least 6 or 7 episodes in a row, one after the other.

I regret watching every episode of Stargate Destiny hoping that it would eventually turn into it's predecessors. The first season of sg1 was also rough but I think that can be blamed on showtime.

Have not watched it, but I am sure that there is at least one point in the show's run that would make you laugh, chuckle, or at least nod and grin. There is none of that in Girls.

Edit: Stop watching Archer at the end of season 4 (or maybe sooner, it depends on your tolerances). By that point they're pretty much entered "Family Guy Territory" when it comes to running the same 6 jokes/gags into the ground and the characters start to become super-caricatures of themselves.

AHS is remarkably bad, the first season had some promise to it and good moments but god why the gently caress do I keep watching this show

it will never pay off, they are not "building" towards anything, last season where they started bringing season plotlines together was just boring, ryan murphy and brad falchuk are awful

and in that sea of garbage, Hotel stands out as a uniquely terrible season, holy poo poo was it bad. the only good thing was Denis O'Hare's character

It's impossible to get a good anime recommendation because the kinds of people who have watched enough anime to give you recommendations will have been numbed enough to just gloss over little details like "constant child molestation gags" and "being terrible"

Dexter hands down. I first thought at least season 1 & 2 were great but there were bad signs even in the beginning. John Lithgow is the only thing making season 4 watchable. Even then his serial killer MO is very gimmicky. I wish they had the balls to make Dexter get caught in season 2 or make him kill one of the supporting characters instead of the Deus ex machina they used (Lilah).

I read War and Peace then later tried to watch the BBC version of it. It felt like a speedrun, I turned it off 5 minutes in when Pierre starts ranting about how that whole French revolution deal doesn't sound that bad and maybe we could use a revolution here in Russia too!

Pretty much everyone that waited tables at a Dennys, iHop, or any other breakfast-oriented restaurant resented the gently caress out of the Ron Swanson character, and how idiots pretended to be him when they went to one of those establishments.

Bones.

Like it was never a SPECTACULAR show but I like a good easily-digestable mystery and some gruesome corpses. Then I guess they ran out of mysteries and corpses because then it just got fixated on which intern was loving whose daughter and how many kids each of them were going to have and who the gently caress cared.

I can't even remember when it switched over from 'okay' to 'poo poo' over so many seasons, but drat they were trying to squeeze the last few drops of blood from out of the Bones stone.

Walking Dead. The Governor arc where there's a huge standoff with guns firing all over at the prison and just...nobody gets hit. Nothing happens. Then some zombies come and everyone was like 'oh no run' for the 100th time.

I binged it for a while when I was freelancing, but stopped on the episode where they introduce Negan and haven't bothered since.

I checked out of the show when the Governor got locked inside a shed with like 50 zombies and no weapons and somehow teleported 5 miles to grab Andrea or whoever the blonde lady was

I was just kinda like "ok that's just too much and I can't be damned any more"

It got exponentially worse. At its best, it was a tense-yet-campy 'drama'. At its worst, he was a near invisible super spy who was immune to persecution, who later became a lumberjack.

Yes, that's right; the final scene of Dexter has him being a lumberjack. He faked his own death to leave his son in the care of ANOTHER SERIAL KILLER, and went away to cut trees by himself.

I ended up hate-binging this because someone, I can't remember who, kept giving me goalpost-shifting reasons for how I wasn't giving it a fair shot. "You haven't even seen it! ... You only watched three episodes! ... Yeah, but you didn't even finish the first season!" So I intensely hate-watched... five seasons of it? To the hotel one. I guess they won by making me watch it, but I also won by hounding them with my now exact reasoning for why it sucked and by how much more I enjoyed hating it thereafter.

So yeah! AHS is poo poo and I love hating it.

There was that ridiculous show a while ago, some research station somewhere covered in ice.

Helix or something, and almost every episode added ANOTHER BASEMENT LEVEL and ANOTHER TWIST and ANOTHER BETRAYAL.

I honestly have to clue what the gently caress the show was about, but the endless WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS was just so funny to watch.
