I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

The Walking Dead. A friend kept telling me how great the show was, but it never really sounded like anything I would find interesting. Sure enough, when I agreed to check it out, it was just so... boring. I couldn't get past the first episode because nothing interesting was happening, despite trying on 3 separate occasions to do so. Finally had to tell my friend that I wouldn't be trying again.

    I love zombie media, and Walking Dead season 1 was really good, thrilling even. And then it changed to really thick drama with occasional zombie somewhere and I lost interest. Then my SO was watching it and they were.. herding zombies?

    I watched 8 seasons and read the comic. There was a turning point that where the theme changed from the decay of the old world toward building a new one... and the theme song needed to change to incorporate this. Then I realized the theme song was the best part.

    I found the first episode so tropey and…. predictable isn’t the right word, but you knew who was about to get bit even through it didn’t make sense. Rote? Clumsy? Something something. I also didn’t make it past ep1

    I watched the first season when I was in university. But then they moved it over to cable which we couldn't get and so I never watched any of the rest of it. After I finished university I think I dipped into it again and was just so completely bored by the characters that I just stopped watching again.

    The main plot arc on the first season was him carrying around that damn grenade. Which was ultimately used to blow up some, bulletproof glass. Wow.

    I can't remember the names of any of the characters but at one point one of the characters is having it off with one of the other characters, but in secret for some reason even though both of their spouses are dead so I don't see the problem, anyway they go into the woods all alone, in a zombie apocalypse, for some privacy, (again why) and get attacked by a zombie. Talk about stupid decisions.

    Not liking it I understand, but actually worst show ever ? That's some big hyperbole.

    I never said it was the worst show ever. The question asked what was the worst show we ever tried to seriously engage with. For me it was The Walking Dead. I tried to give it a fair chance and it sucked massively. Sorry if my opinion upsets your delicate sensibilities.

    Don't worry, you have not offended me.
    I just can't can't believe it's the worst show you have ever watched. Either, as I said you are exagereting, or you haven't watched a lot of things.

    Again, I feel like you're reading things that I'm not saying. The Walking Dead, although I didn't enjoy it at all, is not the worst show I've seen. I'm saying that it's the worst show I've seen with the intention to try and watch it. I've seen much worse trash like the Kardashians and all those other reality shows. But I hate shows like that and would never attempt to sit down and enjoy them. Does that make things clearer?

    Edit: Maybe if I said it's the show that disappointed me the most? That I tried to enjoy but just couldn't?
